Tag: winter funk

Most of us lack all-day energy—going from the time we wake up, some of us in darkness—and we find it hard to motivate ourselves to leave our caves and seek adventure. Cold weather along with fewer daylight hours stress us out physically and emotionally; our legs feel like they are filled with lead. However, nature always has a plan.

If the weather keeps us indoors and the darkness causes us to wind down earlier, then we should honor our biorhythms instead of overriding them with artificial light and technology. Let’s perceive winter as an opportunity to turn inward to cocoon and hibernate, before emerging in the spring with exciting new plans and new vibrations. Remember: instead of using artificial light, we can always flick the switch and turn on our inner light.
