Light Therapy For Depression - Ten Tips For Busting The Blues
As a Licensed Professional in the field of mental and emotional health and well being, I am often asked for a few powerful and immediate Depression Blues Buster Tips.
Here are 5 of the top Depression Blues Buster Tips you can
get started with right now!
But don't stop with just the first 5, keep reading for
another bright look at 2 more, and 3 bonus, powerful and possibly unexpected
Blues Buster Tips!
*Add aerobic exercise to your routine: Research has shown that aerobic
exercise increases heart rate, oxygen in the bloodstream, and increases the
release of endorphins, all of which are associated with good mood. Start with
30 minutes a day for 3 days a week and increase to 5 days per week for best
results.
*Increase the amount of water you drink: Did you know that mild dehydration
can lead to physical fatigue which in turn increases the risk for a depressed
mood. Add at least an extra 8 ounces of water to your daily diet and notice the
immediate energy increase you will feel!
*Change your diet: Include healing foods rich in
vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. You will feel more energetic and
experience an uplifted emotional state.
Stay away from refined ingredients which have been stripped of
their natural nutrients.
*Avoid watching or reading bad news: Focus your attention on inspiring
news coverage, read uplifting stories, and find other forms of positive
informative media
*Take notice of your thoughts: When you find yourself thinking of negative
things shift your thought to something positive. Think of something that has
made you feel good, someone who makes you smile, or a phrase that has lifted
your spirits in the past.
*Learn something new: If you have always wanted to learn
another language, start now! Find a book a DVD, download a program, or join a
conversational class.
Now for those 2 powerful and possibly unexpected Blues
Buster Tips that I mentioned earlier...
*Add natural light sources to your environment: Did you know that recent research
supports the connection between our mood and natural lighting?
Research shows that Malillumination, which can lead to mild
symptoms of depression, or just a general sense of the blues, occurs when we
have a poor diet of natural lighting.
Enhance your mood by adding natural sun source lighting to
your environment through use of a variety of home and office lighting accents.
Place Full Spectrum bulbs in your lamps, chandeliers, sconces, or hang stained
glass art panels in your south facing windows and notice the uplifting feeling
you will create.
You may have heard of the Circadian Rhythm. This is a natural
rhythm of the biological clock, dusk to dawn. It can sometimes get thrown off,
causing biological confusion and inhibiting production of certain hormones,
which can result in feeling blue. Research has shown that Light Therapy is
highly effective in relieving these symptoms and resetting the biological
clock.
There is something about those cloudy days that can bring on
a sad feeling. Natural Lighting can brighten your mood!
