Nobody doubts that mental health is impacted by the seasons. But can you use the changing seasons to your advantage, rather than just weathering the storm of seasonal depression?

According to Z. Colette Edwards, known as “The Insight Doctor,” we’re more in-touch with certain emotions and emotional activities depending on the time of year: “When one looks across many cultures and healing traditions, a common theme emerges: the benefit of being in the flow of the seasons and nature’s cycles.” 

Each season lends itself to different moods and priorities. If you plan around these trends (using this worksheet), your wellbeing may stay more stable through the changing seasons. And you will always have something to look forward to.
