Autumn is the time of year when nature puts on an amazing show, painting the world in hues of red and orange. It’s the season of cosy sweaters, warm drinks, and brisk walks in the crisp air.
If, like me, you go into September full of good intentions of being motivated, but by Halloween find yourself wanting to polish off all the trick or treat goodies whilst binging a boxset on Netflix, you are not alone!
For some of us, the changing of the seasons into shorter days and longer nights can bring along something less welcome – the onset of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). But you need not continue to suffer, hypnotherapy can help so that you can enjoy the cosy nights and chilly mornings and embrace the transition towards winter instead of dreading it.
What Is SAD, anyway?
SAD is a type of depression that tends to affect sufferers only during the Autumn and Winter months when daylight hours are shorter. It’s like a grumpy cloud that follows you around, making you feel tired, moody, and unmotivated. But don’t worry; you don’t have to just accept that this is your lot for the next few months, you can beat it with Mind & Mojo. Investing in just a few hypnotherapy sessions with us can really transform how you feel at this time of year.
SAD often brings with it the urge to hibernate, sometimes meaning a loss of contact with friends and family. Mind and Mojo will help you resist the temptation to hide away under a blanket and instead stay active and motivated throughout the season.
Although It’s a time to enjoy hearty soups and warming roast dinners, it’s also essential to maintain a balanced diet and exercise routine. We can help you to maintain good habits with a positive mindset, helping you to enjoy the heartier meals but not falling into the habit of comfort eating in the long evenings and becoming too much of a couch potato. Getting time outside as much as possible during the darker months not only boosts your vitamin D which many of us lack during this part of the year but also keeps you motivated and boosts your mojo, after all, natural light helps us to regulate our body clock.
How can Hypnotherapy really help me?
Hypnotherapy acts like a mood-boosting tonic for your mind, Mind and Mojo’s sessions can help you to find ways to release those feel-good chemicals, like serotonin, which might be in short supply during Autumn, as well as give you practical actions to take to take back control of your mood.
After a detailed introductory session where we can identify exactly what affects you the most, we can tailor sessions to your personal needs.
One easy way to describe Hypnotherapy is that it can feel like a guided daydream where you are in a state of deep relaxation and heightened focus. In this relaxed and calm state, your mind is more open to positive suggestions, and we can work directly with your subconscious to break free from the SAD cycle.
So, if you feel like you would like to be able to enjoy the darker days with a sunnier mood, get in touch. Have a no obligation chat and learn how easy it is to benefit from leaving those days of dreading the darker nights behind, for good!
This Autumn, let Mind and Mojo be your SAD-busting bestie. Say goodbye to gloomy days and hello to a season filled with positivity, energy, and mojo!
