With the onset of cold weather, some people may experience so-called seasonal depression (see table Seasonal Affective Disorder). Lethargy, melancholy, negative thoughts, loss of interest in what used to please … Even the most persistent mood deteriorates, drowsiness increases. During this period, it is difficult to maintain the same working capacity and enjoy life.
How can you support yourself besides the standard troika "coffee, plaid, cinema"? Five simple ways that do not require special skills and knowledge:
# 1 Taking care of the body. What do you want now? A warm bath and soft slippers, or skiing in a snowy forest? Listen to your feelings. What does your body want? What texture to wear, what temperature to brew tea … in such little things as a suitable scarf and comfortable shoes, a lot of power is stored.
# 2 Light and color. What color and brightness is your mood? Maybe it's as bright as lemons and oranges, or maybe it is pastel, like a dim light and a soft blanket. Surround yourself with the flowers that you want most now: let it be your phone wallpaper, a beautiful bracelet, a painted mug … It helps to tune in to the right mood and replenish your strength.
# 3 Rhythms and music. Lyrics or bouncy rhythm? You can tune yourself in the right way with songs. Think about what kind of mood you need now, and choose the right music for it. She is a great tool for changing your condition.
# 4 Communication, hugs. The warmth of communication, the feeling that you are not alone - a great recipe for seasonal mood changes. In terms of hormones, cuddling is associated with the release of oxytocin, which reduces anxiety and increases life satisfaction. In addition, it is also a way to see yourself through the eyes of other people: loving, approving, kind eyes.
# 5 Plans for the future. It's time to dream and set bold goals! No matter how gloomy it is now, there will be travels, successes and victories, bold steps and training, new acquaintances … Dream, what do you want? And what will help you achieve this? The vector of life, directed towards something good, helps to fill with cheerfulness.
Warm and happy winter!
