Staples for SAD













A few of my winter staples to prevent Seasonal Affective Disorder. (SAD)

Liquid vitamin D3 vegan spray and liquid fish oil

It’s been estimated that as many as 20 percent of Americans are affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) each winter, suffering from the blues, fatigue, and in some cases, more serious depression as sunlight grows scarce.

Vitamin D receptors appear in a wide variety of brain tissue, and activated vitamin D receptors increase nerve growth in your brain. It’s important for all-around brain function and mental health. I take 5,000 IU's per day. (Be sure to get your levels checked to see if you need a mega-dose from the doctor if yours is depleted.)

Fish oil is high in omega-3 fatty acids. Recent studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may be helpful in maintaining a healthy emotional balance. Try taking a combined total of 1,000 – 2,000 mg of EPA and DHA, the essential fatty acids found within fish oil, per day for mild depression. DHA is found in nerve and brain tissue.

Failure is an Event



This is a famous quote by the legendary Zig Ziglar! I know I have told my mom and family hundreds of times I "feel like a failure."  I may have messed up a few too many times in life over the years but those are failures, I am not. Don't be so hard on yourself! If you are not failing you are not growing!

14 Way to Be Less Lonely



14 Ways to Be Less Lonely in a Busy and Isolating World by Trish Blackwell

  1. Acknowledge that you are lonely
  2. Address your personal social needs – investigate where they are not being met
  3. Disconnect from social media, create non-screen time in your life
  4. Pick up the phone and make more phone calls
  5. Write more hand-written cards
  6. Create more space for people in your daily schedule – even for strangers
  7. Cherish little interactions and mundane conversations
  8. Go out of your way for friend dates
  9. Prioritize communication with your significant other
  10. Connect daily without distraction, face-to-face with your significant other
  11. Communicate your social needs to your partner and support them with theirs
  12. Give of your time, heart or love to someone who might be more lonely than you
  13. Focus less on your to-do list and instead value your day based on the quality of your emotional connections
  14. Share your heart and your story openly – you never know how your vulnerability and openness might inspire someone else to realize that they are not alone. (I felt lonely and like I would never be understood until I read Geneen Roth’s books, which changed my life and gave me hope in my eating disorder.)
