Self-Care & Seasonal Depression
October 11, 2024
Colder weather, longer days, too much to manage on your schedule—it can all start weighing you down. But you don’t have to trudge through this merry time of year without the benefit of energy. There are several ways you can get a natural energy boost without having to turn to sugary energy drinks and questionable products.
It may sound easier said than done, but stress management is a helpful tool for getting that natural energy boost you need. Stress—whether it’s brought on by seasonal affective disorder or work/life factors—is a major drain on energy. It impacts your sleep, your calm, and your ability to focus and get things done.
There are several steps you can take to reduce feelings of anxiety—even during the hectic holiday season. One of the most important is taking time for yourself. Self-care is critical for stress management. Whether it’s taking time to meditate, getting in a workout, or enjoying the benefits of a chiropractic adjustment, making time for you is priority one.
With dropping temperatures, snow, and ice on the way, it can be hard to find the motivation to get to the gym. But staying active throughout the winter is a major help when you’re trying to stay energized. Even just 15-30 minutes of physical activity a day can do wonders for your energy levels.
If you’re struggling to stay on goal with exercise, why not bring in a friend? Exercising with a partner provides multiple benefits, including ensuring better safety, helping your workouts sail by, and keeping you both accountable.
When it comes to getting a natural energy boost, you get out what you put in. Eating better and making use of whole food supplements empowers your body to give you the focus and strength you need.
