As the seasons shift, so can your mood.
For some, winter brings more than just shorter days. It brings symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
If you've noticed a pattern of low energy, sadness, or disconnection in colder months, you're not alone. And you don't have to wait for it to hit to take care of yourself.

➺ Look out for the signs and build in extra support
➺ Explore light therapy or schedule outdoor time
➺ Create routines that nourish your energy
Planning ahead is a form of self-compassion.
