Counteract winter darkness

As we count down toward the winter solstice, the days get shorter and shorter.

If you find yourself feeling a little blue, even in the midst of holiday preparations, you are not alone. Many people experience some degree of what is called Seasonal Affective Disorder, abbreviated appropriately as SAD. It means that there is less sunlight during the winter months and this can impact how we feel.

As you fill your bucket each day with what’s important to you, remember to make sure you put in some extra sunlight. It may not be actual sunlight but you can still…

• Read a few pages in a good book
• Bring home a bouquet of flowers
• Eat a meal alone and create a lovely place setting
• Do a gratitude meditation for five minutes before going to bed

Try a couple of new things to counteract the winter darkness and let us know what happens.
