Dear friend, I hear you, and I want you to know that what you’re feeling is completely valid. Seasonal changes can indeed take a toll on our mood and energy levels. Please remember, you are not alone in this. Many people experience similar feelings during this time of year. It’s okay to feel a bit off – be gentle with yourself. To help you through this, try to embrace the beauty of the changing seasons. Take short walks during daylight hours to soak up the sun, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Create a cozy, comforting space at home with warm blankets and soft lighting. Engage in activities that bring you joy, like reading a good book or trying a new indoor hobby. Most importantly, reach out to loved ones for support and connection. Remember, this is just a season, and like all seasons, it will pass. You have the strength within you to navigate through this. Take it one day at a time, and know that brighter days are ahead. You’ve got this!
