Winter Blues and Energy

Right, so Will, how does winter affect your overall health and well-being, I mean in terms of energy levels, motivation, routines, mental health? I know you have touched on some of the pipes already, but we are really, really keen to hear again. Yeah, I would say I definitely much lower energy in the winter. I do, historically, I tend to get a little more depressed. I hibernate quite a bit in the winter. I combat that mostly with, you know, kind of mental health tricks, you know, finding things that I enjoy doing that I can do on my own, you know, setting a personal goal, whether that's, you know, reading 50 books or whatever, you know, whatever that is, you know, taking online classes and having something to look forward to. So, those are things that I do for mental health. Energy levels tend to be pretty low. And I should, but don't always stay very active in the winter. Sure. And on that note, what do you find most challenging about looking after your health during winter? This could include colder weather, fewer daylight hours, factors, changes in activity or habits? You know, you have already alluded to some of them. Yeah. I would say definitely. I mean, definitely the less sunlight, colder weather, and then that kind of triggers poor eating habits, less activity. I mean, really, the less activity is probably the worst thing, but that is the contributing factors are it's cold and dark out. So sure. And other things you feel you manage differently in the winter compared to other seasons. Routines change? Do you adapt to your behavior? Sorry for the interruption. Yeah, I can't really think of anything. I mean, I kind of like my routines. So I don't, you know, my normal routines, I tend not to give up, which is why it's important for me to like have a gym routine or have an exercise routine some of that gets disrupted. It's very hard for me to get back into it. But like as far as like just like my day-to-day life you know I kind of I like my schedule you know I like having a schedule and I usually do pretty well sticking to it. You know as far as like work and activities with friends and things like that and obviously I I know where my doctor's appointments are. That's not a problem for me. So again, mostly it's again, with winter, it's just that the eating and activity habits are just go right up.
