I am an idiot.
Last few weeks have been feeling wiped and completely unmotivated, in spite of having hugely important stuff to get on with. Thought it was a mixture of ongoing grumbling lurgy and, recently, freezing cold house. But I just realised:
I haven't switched my SAD lamp on at all this Autumn/Winter.
And that mix of slight tearfulness, slight fearfulness, paranoia and not-quite-able to get into anything are the usual winter slump symptoms.
It's quite a positive thing in a way. I've been doing so well and achieving so much this year that it never even occurred to me that I ought to SAD-proof my brain. But I obviously still need my dose of midwinter sunshine.
Will sort that out as soon as I'm back home. Bright and shiny engery will be mine!
