Nutrition Timing + Variety
Mood and energy relate closely to physical lifestyle. While light and routine get attention, less-obvious is the timing and variety of nutrition as we move into darker months. Some studies link craving shifts and appetite changes with seasonal depression.
Aim for regular meal/snack timing, include one new ‘winter-friendly’ food each week (like a roasted root veg or dark leafy green), and keep hydration steady.”

“Reverse Avoidance” Plan
When the days are shorter, social withdrawal becomes easy—but isolation deepens the slump. With about 5% prevalence of full-blown SAD, building social connection becomes a proactive move. Build in an accountability partner check-in (even just 5 minutes) each week: a phone call, walk, coffee date—whatever nudges you toward connection rather than away.

Check-In Mini-Journaling + Energy Mapping
Because seasonal mood shifts often sneak up, tracking patterns is key. Up to ~20% of people may experience milder “sub-syndromal” seasonal mood change even if they don’t meet full SAD criteria. Use a brief journal: once or twice a week note ‘What drained me?’ and ‘What energized me?’ with seasonal context. Then plan at least one “energy boost” activity for the next week.
