Fall can be a joyous time, from watching spooky movies to carving pumpkins. However, for many, it can be the start of a depressing period.  Clinical social worker Erin Riedel explains that seasonal depression is also referred to as seasonal affective disorder.  As the evenings get darker and it gets colder outside, Riedel suggests following these tips to manage seasonal sadness.  Make a plan. If you’re prone to seasonal depression, get intentional about the practices you enjoy, such as movement, nutrition and socializing.  Embrace the season and slow down. Most of us wake up, work and go home. It’s important to get outside and soak up the daylight when possible.  Even if you hate the cold, you must get outside. It’s an opportunity to move your body, boost your mood and appreciate your surroundings.  All in all, being outdoors is a great way to engage in mindfulness, another powerful tool for battling depression and anxiety.  These months might make you feel like hibernating, but be intentional with your time. Make your downtime restorative and reflective.  Do some gentle yoga, bake some bread; do things that are therapeutic for you to take a step back from the hectic holiday season.
