Have you been
experiencing mood swings lately, or feeling a little bit out of sorts?
Feeling a
little bit down is normal and usually picks up after a much needed cup of tea
and a chat with friends.
However, some
people report serious mood swings depending on the time of year.
There has been
a lot in the papers recently about how people feel differently at different
times of the year.
I have heard
from people who feel very down and depressed when it’s dark and cold during
winter. Their mood usually picks up again in time for summer. Some people
report feeling very tired and sluggish during summer, but alert during winter.
It’s all too
easy when its miserable and cold outside to retreat into your home, cancel
those plans and snack on a serotonin-boosting snack to lift your spirits; and
even with an extra half an hour in bed you still find yourself feeling tired
and sleepy-headed.
Some people
have even resorted to buying expensive light boxes in order to get some much
needed vitamin D on dark, cold days.
Known as
Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, experiencing mood swings is becomingly
increasingly common, yet not much coverage has really been done on the
phenomenon.
Many people
are turning to hypnotherapy in order to manage their symptoms-it’s safe, and
works by putting you into a state of deep relaxation, allowing you to visualise
feeling happier, healthier and more balanced!
This is
becoming a much more viable alternative for people who don’t like the thought
of lots of medication or counselling.
With
hypnotherapy, you are relaxed, and able to visualise a happier future for
yourself, and manage your symptoms.

swings, drop me an email on my email address.
