We’ve talked about seasonal affective disorder (a.k.a SAD) in the past. But, as we head into a few more months of winter with a splash of pandemic uncertainty, I think this conversation is more important than ever. ⁠
⁠
Two natural chemicals responsible for SAD are serotonin (too little of it) and melatonin (too much of it). Serotonin is responsible for uplifting and energy-boosting, while melatonin helps improve sleep by regulating our circadian rhythm. Sunlight is important for the production and regulation of both of these. Because we are getting a lot less sunlight during the winter months, both of these hormones are impacted. ⁠

Do something for you today, you deserve it.⁠

Remembering to fill up our own cups before pouring into others can be challenging. To bring our A-game to the rest of the world (family, work, friends, spouses, etc) we have to remember to take care of ourselves. When we neglect our own self-care routines, mental and physical fitness we take from our ability to give to others. They deserve you at your best and you deserve to feel your best.⁠
