Getting Over That Hump

Here we are...Wednesday. Hump Day. Middle of the week. Sometimes a day like this can feel 'so-so' or indifferent, especially in the winter.

If you are feeling this way, you are not alone. There is such a thing as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), and it impacts more people than you might imagine. Even though we can find some comfort in knowing this, it still can catch us off guard if we've never experienced it before. But, just like the literal seasons changing from winter to spring, we go through seasons of life. Maybe you call it the next chapter or something similar to that, but we're essentially saying the same thing.

So, the next time you are feeling 'down' or 'lost', don't blame it on yourself. It may not be your fault. It could be the environment you're in or the people you happen to be in close proximity to. A simple change of scenery, trying something new and out of the ordinary, and removing yourself from a less-than-ideal social situation can be just enough to tip the scale into the positive, hopeful category. We all have the ability to make changes, no matter how simple or difficult they might be. Start with small incremental baby steps, and before you know it, you'll be climbing over that mountain or 'hump' to greatness!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday :)
