Shorter days, colder weather, and disrupted routines can all make low moods feel even heavier. If you’re noticing your motivation slipping or feeling more down than usual, it’s okay and there are ways to care for yourself during this season.
Here are a few approaches that can help:
🌤️ Seek out natural light: Open curtains, sit near windows, or get outside briefly during daylight. Even 10–15 minutes can support your mood.
🏃♀️ Move gently and regularly: Light activity (like stretching, walking, or indoor exercises) boosts energy and reduces symptoms of depression.
📅 Keep a steady routine: Consistent sleep and daily structure can help anchor your mind when the days feel long and heavy.
💬 Stay connected: Reaching out to a friend, family member, or professional can make a meaningful difference.
✨ Know when to get support: If symptoms feel persistent or start affecting daily life, Bridgeview is here to help.
Your mental health matters in every season!
