AccorDid you know that the change in seasons can affect your mood?
According to this article from the Huffington Post colder weather can make people:
- Have less energy
- Feel less social
- Lose interest in their favorite activities
- Crave carbs
- Want to sleep more
- Have trouble sleeping
According to
this article, these feelings are most likely our bodies getting confused due to the days being shorter and the nights longer.
I have a really hard time with my mood in the winter. I am a sun lover, having lived in Atlanta & Phoenix and do not handle the cold + short days well.
If you are looking for ways to kick the winter blues here are some things I found on the internet that may be of interest
- Get a light therapy lamp- these will essentially help trick your body into thinking the sun is out longer
- Keep your blinds open during the day! Get as much sun as possible
- Working out- ya ya ya, we all know its supposed to make you happier.
- Don't succumb to your carb cravings! The spike and crashing of your blood sugar won't help your mood
- Listen to upbeat, cheery music
- Don't stop going outside. Being outside lowers your stress levels and improves focus, so make an effort even if it's cold.
- Increase your vitamin D & Omega- 3 intake
