Weather doesn’t just influence what we wear—it affects how we feel. From sunny skies to stormy days, the environment can have a profound impact on mental health.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a prime example of weather’s influence, with shorter days triggering symptoms in many individuals. But it’s not just winter; high heat and humidity in summer can also exacerbate feelings of irritability or fatigue.
To counteract these effects, adjust your habits. During gloomy weather, light therapy or even opening curtains to let in natural light can help. On hot days, stay cool with hydration and air conditioning to maintain your physical and mental equilibrium.
By being mindful of how weather affects you, you can adapt and thrive regardless of the forecast. Small changes in your environment or routine can make a big difference.
