During the darker months, it’s surprisingly easy to go through an entire workday with very little natural daylight.

You leave home when it’s dark.

You spend most of the day indoors.

And by the time work is finished, it’s dark again.

Daylight plays an important role in regulating our internal body clock and supporting daytime alertness, which makes getting outside especially valuable during winter.

In today’s video, I share a simple way to build more daylight into a normal workday without completely changing your routine.

When do you normally get outside during the workday?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer:

When the seasons change, our routines often change with them without us really noticing.

We spend less time outside. We move less. We might see people less often. And some of the habits that helped us feel good during the brighter months slowly disappear.

That doesn’t mean you need to completely redesign your life for winter.

Sometimes it’s simply worth noticing what has changed and bringing back one thing that was working for you before.

In today’s video, I share a simple way to take stock of your winter routine and identify one healthy habit worth bringing back.

What’s one thing you tend to do less of when the days get darker?

One thing I’ve learned is that being still with yourself can be harder than it sounds. When uncomfortable thoughts or emotions show up, the instinct is often to distract yourself, fix them, or get away from them as quickly as possible.

But I’ve found that I don’t always need to solve what I’m feeling in that moment. Sometimes I just need to notice it without judging myself for having it. That small shift, from trying to escape the feeling to simply being present with it, can make things feel a little less overwhelming.

For me, mindfulness isn’t about emptying my mind or pretending everything is peaceful. It’s about learning how to come back to myself with a little more patience and compassion.

What helps you come back to yourself when your mind feels busy or heavy?
