Got that sunshine in my pocket…
Songs that matter to you (or not) — Can’t stop the feeling!
The song,enjoy :-)
Winter time: dark days, dark thoughts?
The candles are lit and we snuggle up next to each other on the couch under a blanket. But we also know this romanticized picture of winter is not the full story.
A winter dip, winter blues, or even a winter depression. One person has more problems with the other, but we (almost) all know the gloomy feeling.
You prefer to lock yourself in your room with a very thick sweater, Netflix, and have food delivered.
Actually, you don’t feel like seeing anyone or doing anything at all.
Sounds familiar to you?
Well, I have good news!
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere around the end of March (which is now) spring time has begun.
Why we are SAD according to science
According to the Mayo Clinic:
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that’s related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year. If you’re like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months, sapping your energy and making you feel moody. Less often, SAD causes depression in the spring or early summer.
Symptoms specific to winter-onset SAD, sometimes called winter depression, may include:
Oversleeping — Appetite changes, especially a craving for foods high in carbohydrates — Weight gain — Tiredness or low energy
Treatment for SAD may include light therapy (phototherapy), medications, and psychotherapy.
Can’t stop the feeling…
This time of year, spring jumping at our door, the days filled with daylight will be longer.
Spring, the first of the four seasons, in which nature comes back to life after winter, and that astronomically in the Northern Hemisphere begins around March 21 and ends around June 21.
To celebrate this with me, play that song (again, and again!?) and dance!
Get that pleasant song on your feet.
So just dance, dance, dance, come on!
Last but not least, stay yourself.
Till next song (that matters to you),
