In a season when many people are supporting others — through work, in communities, and within families — it’s just as important to care for yourself, too.
Shorter days and reduced sunlight can affect mood. Some people may experience more significant changes, sometimes called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression triggered by seasonal changes.
Notice what you’re carrying and what might help you feel grounded: a pause, a walk, time with someone who brings ease, or simply letting go of one expectation.
