Visits to the NHS page on seasonal affective disorder (SAD) are up around 30% this month – so if the darker days are affecting your mood or energy, you’re not alone 💛

Small things can help:

☀️ making the most of natural light – getting outside or sitting near windows
🏃‍♀️ physical activity – anything that gets you moving
🗂️ planning for tougher days – shifting stressful tasks and building in more rest

There are also treatments like light therapy, talking therapies and medication if you’re finding things really tough.

Feel free to forward this to anyone who might find winter a bit tougher.
