Winter can often be a difficult time for our mental wellbeing and this is even more so as we are all coping with the implications of Covid-19 and its impact on our daily lives, plans, and usual ways of coping to look after our mental health. How do you feel about this time of year and how are you coping?
I often get winter blues and symptoms of seasonal affective disorder such as depression and anxiety. This year, I have decided to put a solid plan in place, to help me to be more gentle and kind with myself, to take the pressure off myself, and to practice lots of self-care. In this video, I share all the things I am doing, and some of the useful tools I have found to help me cope and to look after my mental health during winter and lockdown.
