Seasonal blues: a survival guide
How Not to Become an Autumn Leaf and Fall
Psychologist Darya Tokareva explains that our condition is closely linked to biological rhythms. "The shortening of daylight is a serious stressor for the body. To restore balance, melatonin is produced, which is why you constantly feel like sleeping. At the same time, serotonin levels drop, which leads to a decline in mood and social activity," the portal karelinform.ru quotes the expert as saying.
The expert emphasizes that it is important not to give in to the established "depressive" image of autumn and to engage in prevention. Here are a few simple but effective steps:
More light. "Spend more time in the light or, at least, open the curtains."
Movement. Even 10 squats or other light activity that you enjoy can restore energy.
Socializing. Don't isolate yourself — especially if you work remotely.
Aesthetics. Look for reasons in autumn to find inspiration, go for walks, and take photos.
Mindfulness. "Observe what surrounds you… This is life, and it can be interesting and fulfilling."
October–November — a time of increased strain
Another expert notes that the rise in requests for psychological help traditionally occurs in the autumn: "October–November is the most difficult time. The sharp reduction in sunlight causes a person to start perceiving everything in pessimistic tones."
According to the specialist, this state is also aided by a "cumulative effect": vacation is over, there's a lot of work, and little sun. To minimize risks, he offers similar recommendations:
Get outside more often and ventilate rooms well.
Move more — exercise or just walks significantly improve mood.
Look for "positive surprises" — new acquaintances, events, tasty food, humor.
And most importantly — remember: "You are not alone in feeling longing or boredom; everything passes, October and November will pass too, and then the New Year will be here, and warm summer will be just around the corner."
