Autumns coming! I love the autumn but do find the shift from summer to the colder, darker months a bit of a jolt 🥴 This could be partly due to daylight hours shortening. This change can disrupt our internal body clock – our Circadian clock. This mechanism tells our body it's time for bed or time to wake up! It works with other parts of the body like hormone release, metabolism, hormone and temperature regulation. We produce less seratonin when there's less sunlight which can affect our mood.
Ways to help ourselves are to connect with people, spend time with family, friends or like minded people. Get moving! physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins which can help counteract depressive symptoms. Eat well! Think 'Food and Mood'... good nutrition is so important for our mental health, tuck into that cake after some fruit😉 my go to healthy sweet treat is apple with peanut butter!
Be kind to others, be kind to yourselves 💖

Take time out to really focus on your breathing, it's incredible how deep breathing into our belly can improve how we feel. If we practice deep breathing daily we can reduce stress, improve heart health and increase energy levels! 💖💪🏼

💘Love for ourselves is as important as love for others, take time to appreciate yourself this valentine's, because YOU are AMAZING!! 💘

Learning to love yourself is a journey, and it takes time and patience. But when you begin to truly accept who you are, being alone no longer feels lonely. Instead, it becomes a time for reflection, growth, and peace. When you're at ease with your own company, you realise that true contentment doesn’t come from others—it starts from within.

Keep looking forward, keep hopeful and good things will come 💖

Hydration is important to many bodily functions, but did you know it can affect your mood too?
Our brains need water to create serotonin, the "feel good" chemical and neurotransmitter that regulates our mood. Dehydration cuts the production of serotonin which can increase symptoms of depression. Similarly it increases the release of cortisol, our stress hormone which can lead to feelings of anxiety.
Drinking enough water doesn't magically cure anxiety and depression, but it does nourish the brain, helping combat the symptoms.
Making sure you get plenty of fluids everyday is one of the best gifts you can give yourself to support your health and well-being. Cheers to that! 🚰💦 🩵

Someone reminded me yesterday about the benefits of walking. We all know walking's good for us but did you know when we walk our body releases chemicals like serotonin and dopamine which contribute to positive feelings and improved mood?! Maybe this weekend will be perfect walking conditions?! Best stay out of the wind today tho😬💨🍃🚶🏼‍♀️
Happy Friday everyone!
