I think the most important thing is not to get caught up on the past in the context of "what should have/could have/would have been" as well as not getting to carried away with 'dreams' of the future. Stay in the present moment, be grounded and aware of your surroundings.
At any point throughout the day — preferably in the evening or shortly before bed — take some time for yourself and review the past ten or so hours. What have you accomplished? Were there anything that made you sad or mad? What can be done to remedy that? In this sense, it is ok to think about the future; but only in the immediate future, such as the following day or week.
Other things that help me stay strong is doing projects and finding things that make me feel useful... such as being on here.
I think this time of year is difficult for a lot of people due to the cold weather and short days/long nights.
