It’s dark early and chilly 🥶 , and we lose the motivation to do the things we’re doing all summer long…we know, we’re sad about it too! Some of us feel this sadness deeper than others, which can be Seasonal Affective Disorder (also known as the “Winter Blues” Here are some tips from our therapist, Azu, on how you can beat the winter blues:

1️⃣ Lifestyle/Routine Change: On days where your schedule is more flexible, start your day as early as possible. This way you get to spend as much time in the daylight as possible!
2️⃣ Indoor Hobbies: It’s time to bust out those puzzles, learn new material, knit that blanket! If you don’t already have indoor hobbies you enjoy, it’s time to explore and gain some!
3️⃣ Bundle Up and Go Outside: This sounds like the opposite of what you may want to do, but trust us, a (bundled up) walk around your neighborhood or a trail, or even at the gym, will do you mind and your body well!
4️⃣ Friends: It’s time to check in with your friends and spend some time together. If being alone bothers you, this is your sign to schedule with loved ones in advance.

If you are in need of a deeper dive into your feelings and state of mind, we’re here for you 🌱 schedule your appointment to speak with one of our therapists and get the support you need, all covered by your insurance!

Today was community in action, we visited THE Governor’s State University (GO JAGUARS!) Black Student Union for Homecoming Week to discuss a topic very dear to us, mental health and wellness.

The room was filled with many students studying to become mental health practitioners themselves, and our conversation underscored the importance of their mental health being cared for as they seek to go out into the world to care for others.

We made wonderful connections for potential internships and membership with CIH. We appreciate the opportunity to share our why and greatly enjoyed making connections with BSU members and GSU students! 💚

Thank you Dr. Joyce Ester (President of ), , and our amazing CIH Staff for making today possible 🌱

Here’s to finding our happy place in health, together.

Happy Monday! 🌱
