Seasonal Affective Disorder: When the Season Feels Heavy đĽ
For some, the colder months feel cozy. For others, they feel heavy. While itâs easy to chalk it up to winter blues, your body may actually be struggling to adapt to shorter days, weather changes, and disrupted routines.
If youâve noticed yourself feeling foggy, unmotivated, or less like âyouâ this time of year, thatâs your nervous system signaling that itâs feeling some strain. Constant survival mode drains the energy your body normally uses for things like focus, patience, and emotional balance.
But, your nervous system can learn to adapt! Just like training a muscle, creating clarity in your nervous system builds resilience over time. Thatâs where chiropractic care comes in. By keeping brain-body communication clear, your body has more capacity to:
â¨Find steadier rhythms for sleep + energy
â¨Process stress without feeling so weighed down
â¨Lift some of the fog that makes life feel harder than it should
â¨Create the space to feel present, grounded, and lighter again
If this season feels heavy for you (or your kids), know that youâre not
alone - and itâs not something you have to simply push through. Supporting your nervous system can help bring back more of the light, even on darker days. đ
