Autumn is coming…

There are so many reasons why sometimes, life's "ups and downs" can seem to just swing a little more to the "downs" side - it can seem as if that feeling of dragging fatigue, stress and extreme effort to get through the day is stuck on "loop".

1. Autumn Anxiety 🍂- Sometimes "life" can seem just a little more challenging than other times, and it is not uncommon for this feeling to pop up as our days grow shorter, daylight savings is over, and "winter is coming."

One of the causes is the reduction in sunlight, leading to falling levels of serotonin. Serotonin is important hormone which affects mood, appetite, and sleep patterns. Less vitamin D, as a result of of being exposed to less sunlight- symptoms may include overwhelming sadness, lethargy.​

2. Current Affairs & News overload-🤯I recently read something along the lines of -' the power that exists now is not information itself but instead the ability to manage it"

​COVID fatigue, war-atrocities being committed against innocent humans, crime and tragedy are, unless you take CALCULATED and DELIBERATE measures to limit your exposure everywhere- 24 hours a day , 7 days a week.

Some basic and effective measures to "manage" your exposure to world news articles are-

*Choose one to two reputable sources for your information.

*Pick one to two times a day when you’ll check the news. Turn it off at other times.

*Avoid the news on social media. Social media reports are often biased and filled with disinformation.

*If you feel anxious when checking the news, stop and do something that makes you feel good, like listening to a song, "earthing" and connecting to nature, or playing with a pet;

*Connect with your loved ones to talk if you’re feeling stressed.

3. Hormones being "out of whack"-(again!)

Hormonal imbalances are often linked to emotional distress, and feelings of-

*stress or anxiety

*low energy

*irritability

*changes in mood

*trouble sleeping

*brain fog or memory issues

*concentration
