Okay, so how does how does winter affect your overall health and well-being? When I'm asking this is I have in mind energy levels, motivation, routines, mental health, etc. I definitely feel that energy levels are low during winter. Don't feel as energized as the previous seasons. Don't want to get out there because it's so cold and also gets dark so early. So stress levels are high, people falling ill all around, family falling ill, trying to keep up with that, making sure everyone's okay, and that affects my own health, feel more stressed and demotivated to think about my own health. It's everything basically, the weather, the illnesses, the change of routine and yeah. And out of all of that, what do you find most challenging about looking after your health during winter? I mean colder weather, fewer daylight hours, changes in activity or habits? For me it's mainly the fewer daylight hours I think because every year you feel like oh it's just winter now but every year it comes as a shock when it gets dark at three o'clock so you still have to get used to that and give yourself time to get used to it. It takes a while Then eventually, by Jan or Feb, you get used to it. But initially, when you first get into winter, it's very difficult and very demotivating because your days are so short. You're trying to cram so much to do in your day. And then you feel like, oh, it's three o'clock. It's dark already. I don't want to go out anymore. Although it's only three o'clock and you still have so many hours, but it's just, you know, the darkness which gets to you, I think. Okay, absolutely. you
