This time of year people struggle with having the energy to get out of bed and be able to focus on their work or even go outside for a walk. What is the explanation for this lack of desire to function that seems to come this time of year? Research talks about a condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder that indicates some people need more light to function at a level to be productive on their job or at home. One recommendation is Òfull spectrum lightingÓ that is similar to natural sun light that reflects the true colors of objects versus what is seen with fluorescent lighting.
Another factor to consider this time of year is what the "Holiday Season" does to people emotionally. The last two months of the year are focused on families and relatives coming together and the enjoyment of those gatherings. But that is not what many people experience or even want to create this time of year. For some, this time of year marks a time of loss or what is not any more. And seeing other people so happy is a sharp contrast to a person's pain and loss.
I have my own theory about this time of year and what "going inside" for 4-5 months does to us. I believe its normal to feel disconnected from the elements of nature and color. We thrive from light and the energy of the earth. When Spring comes, our energy shifts. There is more light and we start feeling stimulated. This sustains us through the summer and even into the fall. Then the light and colors shift and fade away. I believe we are much more connected to the elements and rhythms of nature than we recognize.
So what I want to emphasize is you are feeling normal for this time of year and just be aware of that. How to cope may involve more light in the living room, buying a plant that blooms in the winter, or just taking time to rest like nature and the animals are doing. Light and rest may help us understand our nature and what this time of year needs to be for each of us.
