So I don't think it causes any major adaptations, other than in in my mindset. Right, okay. And what helps you stay well in the winter months? Do you have any specific ideas, habits, or resources, or strategies, or anything you'd like to share? Sure, looking forward to spring is what gets me through the winter. Brilliant.

I'd like to be looking outside somebody else's. Absolutely, thank you very much. And do you find that your emotional or mental health shifts during the winter and how does that impact your motivation or health choices? I definitely struggle more during the winter and it's always, it's always having having things structured in my mind that that goes on no matter no matter what the weather looks like outside, I can still do the things that I'm used to doing in terms of physical activity or socialization. Those things are very easy for me to do, and so I maintain them. But my attitude is not good.
