Winter is coming (for a lot of us) and this action plan can help you reduce anxiety and the effects of SAD. This is useful for anyone who wants anxiety relief and freedom.

Paul discusses how the change in seasons, particularly the transition from autumn to winter, can affect our mood and energy levels. He explores the concept of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and offers an action plan to help listeners combat winter anxiety and low mood.

Paul also focusses the importance of self-care and provides practical tips such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, incorporating meditation into daily routines, choosing healthy comfort foods, staying hydrated, engaging in physical exercise, and taking supplements to support mental and physical health

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) can impact individuals during the winter months, leading to increased stress, anxiety, low mood, and cravings for comfort foods.

To minimise the impact of SAD, it is important to invest in self-care and create an action plan. This includes prioritising habits such as proper sleep, hydration, healthy eating, exercise, and meditation.

Managing morning anxiety during the winter months can be done by accepting and acknowledging the anxiety, practicing deep breathing techniques, and choosing a compassionate approach to soothe the body.

Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and prioritising quality sleep is crucial for mental and physical health during the winter months.

BEST MOMENTS

"If it impacts you quite strongly, then you could be suffering from SAD, or Seasonal Affective Disorder."

"Accept, breathe and choose your approach to work with the anxiety."

"Alcohol is a type 1 carcinogen and a depressant which can bring down your mood."

"Exercise can be more effective than medication to boost your mood and energy."
