Ever notice when the heat outside turns up so does the crime. Wamer weather can bring out the worst in us. You become sticky and miserable and your temper is shorter because of it. Much like cooler weather that finds you sullen and wanting to hibernate indoors. Cooler temperatures are setting in and it’s time to cleanse and prepare for what it brings. Cold weather has been proven to bring on depression. The lack of Vitamin D from the sun, the cloudy days and isolating inside are big key factors of why the yucks can catch hold of you and set in. Now is the time if you aren’t already doing them daily to start your affirmations. Look in the mirror and remind yourself who you are, how amazing you are, how positive and blessed you are and tell yourself “YOU GOT THIS”. Mentalb Health and weather mingle together to the extent there is a seasonal depression called SAD ( Seasonal Effective Disorder) also known as Winter Depression. The symptoms are more prominent in the winter (www.nhs.uk). Caused by the reduction of sunlight in fall and winter. Alaska which is cold and dreary basically year round, not to mention it doesn’t stay light long, has the highest suicide rate in the country. All contributed to the low levels of sunlight they recieve. Ever hear someone say “I just can’t get myself together, i think its the weather.” They are right. It makes it harder to think, be motivated and live. Things that can help are a sun lamp, positive affirmation book, a good friend or making yourself get outside for a little bit each day and connect with nature. That will boost anyones spirits. Whatever you have to do so your spirits stay up and you don’t catch the blues.
124 Days into this transition with mom ( 4 months and 1 day to be exact). We are making it and finding a way to cohabitate together. I am still struggling to find myself. Realized last week i had not taken my medication once. Havent been to the farm in forever and missed my last appointment. So overall we getting there slowly but surely.
