Seasonal Affective Disorder: When the Season Feels Heavy š„
For some, the colder months feel cozy. For others, they feel heavy. While itās 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 youāve noticed yourself feeling foggy, unmotivated, or less like āyouā this time of year, thatās your nervous system signaling that itās feeling some strain. Constant survival mode drains the energy your body uses typically for things like focus, patience, and emotional balance.
But your nervous system can learn to adapt! Just as training a muscle builds resilience over time, creating clarity in your nervous system does the same. Thatās where chiropractic care comes in. By keeping brain-body communication clear, your body has more capacity to:
⨠Find steadier rhythms for sleep + energy
⨠Process stress without feeling so weighed down
⨠Lift some of the fog that makes life feel harder than it should
⨠Create the space to feel present, grounded, and lighter again
If this season feels heavy for you (or your kids), know that youāre not
alone - and itās not something you have to push through. Supporting your nervous system can help bring back more of the light, even on darker days. š¤
