Prevent Seasonal Blues

Winter can bring shorter days, colder weather, and changes in routine that can make feelings of sadness, fatigue, and low motivation feel more pronounced.
Try this starter plan to deal with it:
❄️Day 1: 10-minute brisk walk outdoors + 5-minute mindful breathing.
❄️Day 2: Schedule a 20-minute social interaction (call or meet a friend).
❄️Day 3: Light exposure in the morning + write down 3 small goals for the day.
❄️Day 4: 15-minute gentle stretch or yoga + prepare a comforting, simple meal.
❄️Day 5: Cue-based routine: at the same time each day, complete a small activity you enjoy.
❄️Day 6: Review thoughts with a balanced thought sheet; identify one cognitive distortion to reframe.
❄️Day 7: Sleep routine check: keep a consistent wake and bedtime; reflect on mood changes.
If you’re experiencing persistent low mood, decreased energy, or changes in sleep or appetite that last for weeks, let’s work together to navigate it.
