During the summer when we can’t engage in our usual routines, we can find that our motivation for other things can start to decrease.

By planning activities in advance, we can find it easier to engage as we don’t need to think about what we want to do, all we need to do is follow the plan, not the mood!

The sunny weather is here to stay (hopefully) and there are benefits of sunlight for both your physical and mental health. Not many people are aware of the benefits of sunlight and hopefully this post can help raise awareness.

(always remember to stay hydrated and protect your skin when being out in the sunlight!)

1. Increased Vitamin D: which helps reduce inflammation and encourages cell growth. Vitamin D has also been associated with improved emotional regulation and preventing mental health and has been linked with an improvement in the symptoms of depression.
2. Improved Mood - Getting some sun increases your serotonin and helps you stave off Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and sun exposure can also help people with anxiety and depression, especially in combination with other treatments.
3. Higher Quality Sleep - Your circadian rhythm uses sunlight (or lack thereof) to determine whether it is time to feel awake, or ready to sleep. Without enough sunlight, you could disrupt this rhythm, making it difficult to get enough sleep at night. Poor sleep is linked with poor mental health so ensuring that your sleep is of good quality is an important factor in life.
4. Stronger Bones - Low Vitamin D has been linked to diseases like osteoporosis and rickets, and one of the most specific benefits of Vitamin D is earning stronger bones and teeth.
5. Lower Blood Pressure - When sunlight hits your skin, your body releases something called nitric oxide into your blood. This compound brings down blood pressure and improves heart health.
