Low mood
When the day feels faded although nothing bad has happened.
How it usually shows up
- Everything looks grey
- Small things hurt more than usual
- You want to close off
What is happening
Mood is weather, not climate. It shifts with sleep, food, light, movement and contact with people far more often than with “serious reasons”.
Do not demand joy from yourself. It is enough to shift the state a little: light, air, movement, warmth and one kind act towards yourself.
Three first steps right now
- A 15-minute walk in daylight.
