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!
