When the seasons change it can cause you to become lethargic, moody and to not have a positive outlook on the future. If you don’t seek help from a professional then there are things that you can do on your own to reduce the effects of seasonal changes throughout the year.
These effects are typically seen during the fall and winter months, when days become shorter (less daylight) and the winter/rainy seasons begin.
Humans crave sunlight for mental and physical health so if you are lacking that exposure to your eyes and skin, then your health is significantly affected.
There is hope in how you can treat and prepare for this change in the seasons and leave you to effectively navigate the possible negative effects of the season changing.
Here are some tips to reduce the effects of seasonal depression.
💪 Mentally prepare yourself in the fall for the coming changes.
💪 Use a light box to get your circadian rhythm in line.
💪 Book social events with friends.
💪 Exercise daily.
💪 Stick to a schedule.
💪 Get some vitamin d from the sun first thing in the morning.
💪 Avoid alcohol.
