Summer Solstice (or Winter?)

Wherever you are in the world today it’s an important day in the calendar for Seasonal affective Disorder.

As one cheerful soul (obviously in the Northern hemisphere) remarked on a SAD support group I subscribe to “after today the days just get shorter and shorter, the light dimmer and dimmer”.

Of course the opposite is true “down under” in Australia and New Zealand. Things are going to start to get brighter.

Wherever you are in the world it makes sense to plan your activities to take into account the way the seasons affect you, taking things more slowly in winter and making the most of any good weather and bright light which comes you way by getting outside as much as possible. And of course, it helps to plan any treatment you need well before the level of light affects you so badly that it’s difficult to summon up the energy to do anything about anything.
