Banish the autumn bad mood without medication!

Summer is finally over. The sun's rays are fading, the days are getting shorter, and it's starting to get a bit gloomy outside. The time is approaching when we'll all be waking up in the dark, leaving the house in the dark, and returning home in the dark. And that's not going to improve anyone's mood.

If at this time you feel uneasy, tense or sad or even have depressed mood, don't worry. You are not alone.. And I have good news for you. There is no need to run to the doctor right away for a prescription for antidepressants. We can help yourself, naturally and reliably.

How do we know when we are in the autumn bad mood?

During the summer, the sun's rays and plenty of daylight reliably gave us plenty of energy and good mood. With the coming of autumn and the resulting decrease in sunlight, we our energy is also decreasingAnd this loss manifests itself in our body in various ways, not just through less energy.

We often tiredness, but at the same time we have trouble falling asleep or we wake up more often, which in turn makes us even more tired. The longer this state lasts, the worse we feel and the more we need to rest. Unfortunately, even rest does not give us energy. Ultimately, it may happen that when we finally manage toto catch up on the deficit, then we sleep for a long time again for a change and paradoxically we are even more tired.

We are irritation, we get angry easily, or on the contrary, we are apathetic and we are not interested in our surroundings.

We are not hungry, we can suffer loss of appetite or even stomach acheIn addition, we may have headaches and backaches. We may also suffer from constipation or other digestive problems.

As a result of all this, we feel bad both mentally and physically, we have bad mood and we have no fun. Moreover, the prospect of another six months or so, when we will not receive an influx of energy in the form of sunlight, does not exactly improve our mood.

All of this can be accompanied by the so-called autumn depression.

Tips on how to overcome the autumn blues

Forget about antidepressants. They are definitely not needed in this case, and a few good habits and a proper lifestyle will help you.

• Getting enough sleep – This is probably the absolute basics. If you are tired, sleep deprived or overslept, you will not be able to achieve a good mood. You should spend 7-9 hours in a peaceful, undisturbed sleep. No more, no less. Ideally at night. If you have problems falling asleep, try drinking lemon balm or lavender tea before going to bed. Definitely do not fall asleep with the TV on or the light on.
• Relax – In addition to getting enough sleep, you also need to rest and relax. And by that I mean really resting, not procrastinating. Procrastination, on the contrary, will put you in an even worse mood. Really rest purposefully. Make yourself some tea or pour yourself a glass of wine. Watch a movie, read a book, paint a picture, take a bath, get a massage… Just do what you enjoy, what you miss, what you would like. Devote yourself to your hobbies.
• Move around – Yes, that movement again. When you exercise, the so-called happiness hormones are released into your blood, which will improve your mood. And all it takes is a short walk or even dancing.
• Go outside. – Try spending your days in nature. Not only spring and summer are beautiful and invigorating. The autumn forest and winter landscape also have something to offer. And the fresh air too.
• Proper nutrition and supplements – Eat fruits and vegetables regularly. Your body needs to replenish vitamins and minerals, especially C and vitamin D. Natural quality dietary supplements They can also provide the necessary substances that help us to have a good mood and energy. The proverb that has been said a hundred times applies here: in a healthy body, healthy spirit :-)
• Rejoice – And even in the little things. Praise yourself, smile. Every day, try to realize what you are grateful for. Every evening, recapitulate what you accomplished that day.

Laugh – Even the smallest jokes. At the slightest opportunity. You will see how laughter is healing. But be careful, it should not be malicious laughter.
