This Sunday, the clocks will change. People have mixed emotions about Daylight Saving Time. But whether you are a "yea" or a "nay," the fact is that the days are shorter at this time of year. And shorter days can mean Seasonal Affective Disorder (or SAD) for many people, including people in our family.
There are a few reasons for this, like less sunlight time, loneliness during the holidays, or the need to reset our biological clocks with the time change. Don't lose hope though! There are many ways to combat SAD. https://wellbeingtrust.org has some great information about doing this.
Some symptoms of SAD are depression, heightened anxiety, inability to sleep or sleeping too much, and eating too much. To help with these issues, experts recommend talking to your doctor, light therapy, eating well, maximizing your time in the sun, keeping a regular sleep schedule, and exercising.
Another suggestion is mindfulness, prayer, or positive thinking. So, with the end of Daylight Saving Time, we thought some positive ideas might be helpful.
Feel free to use and share these. We wish you joy.
