Winter Wellness → Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Support ♥️ Welcome to your Winter Wellness playlist, curated to support you through Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), winter depression, and the winter blues with breathwork, somatic movement, and sound healing. If the darker months hit you with low energy, low mood, heavier sleep, cravings, or a “why does everything feel harder” vibe, you are not alone. SAD is a real form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, often showing up in fall and winter and easing up in spring. This playlist is here to help you come back to your body, regulate your nervous system, and find small moments of relief you can build on. WHAT IS SAD? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is depression that shows up around the same season each year. It is more than “I’m just tired of the cold.” It can affect mood, motivation, sleep, appetite, and focus. COMMON SAD SYMPTOMS (WINTER PATTERN) • Feeling down or hopeless most days • Low energy, fatigue, moving through molasses • Sleeping more than usual • Carbohydrate cravings, overeating, weight changes • Trouble concentrating • Pulling back from people and routines HOW TO USE THIS PLAYLIST Pick what you need today: 1) Breathe (2 to 10 minutes) for a quick nervous system reset 2) Move (5 to 20 minutes) to get energy flowing again 3) Sound (anytime) to soften, regulate, and come back to center Try this simple rhythm: Morning: energizing breath + gentle movement Midday: a short reset when the slump hits Night: downshift breath + sound healing for sleep support A NOTE FROM ME Our people have always known how to make warmth out of what we have. This is that kind of warmth. Softness is strength. Rest is wisdom. You do not have to muscle your way through winter. If your symptoms feel intense, persistent, or scary, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional. Support helps.
