Mental Wellness: Understanding Seasonal Affective Disorder | Tips on How to Manage Seasonal Blues

#Wellness #Energy #SAD  Hello Everyone,   Welcome to our first segment on Mental Wellness, this week 😊   Many of us are making adjustments to our schedules, this week, in response to Daylight Savings Time.   The official signal to expect shorter days and longer nights -- if you're like me, this transition can be tough on your body and take some time to navigate. Also, it's a great time to do a self-check and see if you're experiencing any of the symptoms that come with the change in light, more formally known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, or in milder cases, the seasonal blues.   Learn more on how to keep your energy levels up and ways to counteract the effects of SAD.   #Wellness #SeasonalAffectiveDisorder #DaylightSavings #SeasonalBlues #EnergyBoosters #Mindfulness #TipsAndTricks  Do you have any questions?
