Sunshine

I woke up this morning and the sun was shining brightly. Did you know that the sun can actually affect your mood? Certain chemicals are released  into the brain when the sun is shining. These chemicals called neurotransmitters, help to regulate mood. Each person's body reacts differently, but it has been proven that these chemicals are released in smaller amounts during the winter months, which can lead to worsened mood, anxiety, and depression. My thought for today is that you should get outside. Whether you are sitting in a chair reading, doing lawn work, or taking a walk or jog, you will feel better.

Life is out there waiting, so get out and start enjoying it.
