I have been feeling unmotivated and depressed for a week or so. Not sure it’s my sleep or whatever else has to do with it. I do know for sure that it has something to do with a change of seasons.
On the days I go into work it’s often dark on both ends of my nearly two hour commute - travelling in the early morning darkness and travelling back in the evening darkness. On the days I work remotely it’s even worse being ensconced in the basement most of the time. The only saviour being the bright daylight lighting in my with area. Two of the lighting being SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) lamps that burn all day.
I realized the extent of the impact today. I have been battling a sore throat and lack of energy for the last five days and has not left home for anything but work. I finally stepped out Sunday afternoon in the bright daylight to pick up the mail. Just leaving home for the short two minute walk was uplifting and completely changed how I was feeling and my mood. I have realized my answer and all I have to do is to build on it.
