Make the best of the day light hours

If the constant deluge is not enough to persuade you that winter is here, the clocks going back, and the longer darker nights will have no doubt convinced you.

For many the thought of 4 dark cold months is not a welcome prospect leaving them to “winter depression". More commonly known as SAD (Seasonal affective disorder), as the symptoms are usually more apparent and severe during this season.

Sunlight heighten the brain's production of the mood-enhancing chemical serotonin, consequently the more sunlight we are exposed too, the more serotonin we produce and vice versa!

With indifferent weather on the horizon for the next few months, getting into good habits and making the absolute best of the daylight hours available would be a wise choice. A healthy dose of fresh air, daylight and moderate exercise will help boost your immune system and keep you in good spirits.

As one year draws to a close, leaving the festivities aside, our thoughts turn to plans for the year ahead. From an early age, we learn that planning for our future is vital as it will bring us achievement, fulfilment, and satisfaction. Evidence suggests that we need a defined plan or goal. Otherwise, we are less likely to advance in the right direction or manifest the life we want to live. “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail” Benjamin Franklin.  Check out our article by clicking this link.
