Do you suffer from seasonal affective disorder?
SAD’s is a very common problem. Many people suffer with anxiety, depression and feel totally unmotivated during the winter months. They feel more stressed and anxious, unmotivated find it harder to concentrate and are more unsociable than in the summer months.
Tips to help you feel better and boost your mood:
- On a sunny day – Wrap up warm and go and sit somewhere where you can feel the suns rays on your face. Just 15-20 minutes of sunshine will help keep your body and metabolism awake during the day and also give you a fix of vitamin D.
- Make sure you have a good sleep schedule. 7-10 hours of sleep a day is ideal.
- Stay active. If you don’t like exercising at the gym, go for a walk – find new ways of keeping your body moving.
- Winter sadness can put us into hibernation mode – it is important to be more active in scheduling time with others.
