As the days grow shorter and the light gets dimmer, it’s easy for our energy to wane.
Years ago, I realized that I tend to experience some seasonal affective disorder (SAD) around this time of year. Because of the low light, my serotonin levels drop; and I’m aware that my usual perky self is sometimes not quite as perky. So I have to be especially attentive about my self-care: getting outdoors; supplementing my vitamin D; eating well; not self-medicating with alcohol; keeping up my running routine; getting out to the gym; meditating; journaling under a full-spectrum lamp. And not allowing these practices to slide.
That’s what this week’s video is about.
Add in the soon-to-be-upon-us holiday stress and melee, and there is a perfect recipe for the self-care cart to go off the tracks.
Here’s the scoop: You have critically important work to do in the world, and you can’t do it well without being at the top of your game.
What will you do to take care of you?

Having recently spent days marinating in sunshine, full moonshine, exquisite blue waters…. going to bed not too long after sunset and rising with the sun, it was especially hard to come back to the cold, darker days. You are so “on” with this.
