Have you noticed it’s getting darker earlier? Maybe getting out of bed feels a little harder. Your motivation isn’t quite where it was a few weeks ago. Or you’ve just been feeling a little off and can’t figure out why.
This Wellness Wednesday message from the Counseling Center explains how decreasing daylight can affect energy, sleep, and mood, and offers five practical ways to support yourself as the seasons change:
• Get outside while the sun is still shining ☀
• Create a morning routine that works for you 🧘♀️
• Make a plan to stay connected 🌎
• Pay attention to your sleep schedule 😴
• Track how you actually feel for a week ✍
Just because the seasons are changing doesn’t mean you have to ignore the changes happening within yourself. The Counseling Center is here if you need support.
