Mental health can c byhange with the seasons; the overall well-being is intricately tied to nature. Winter is notoriously associated with seasonal affective disorder, while summer can impact our mood and brain health equally. The heat during summer can be dehydrating, which reduces healthy brain functioning, or maybe much daylight can interfere with sleep resulting in bipolar disorder.

Summertime is associated with freedom away from school and positive emotions for children and teens. However, summer can also be when certain mental health issues must be tended to even more. Summer brings a large adjustment for parents caring for children over the holiday without the respite that school can bring. Most young people claim this is the time of year they most look forward to, and many become listless and irritable because of a lack of structured activity. Many people report higher anxiety levels in the summer months so to be mentally stable this summer, one can. Establish new routines and nourish one’s brain 

Summer can throw off our usual routines, but routines are crucial for well-beginning and managing symptoms of many types of mental illness. Routines make sure your day has a predictable structure. With hot temperatures during the summer, people should stay hydrated; the body typically needs more water during the summer heat. Eating healthy during this season and avoiding processed summer treats as much as possible to maintain brain health.

Enjoy nature.        

The universe brings many positive emotions, such as calmness, joy, and creativity, facilitating concentration. Mother nature helps relieve stress and helps reduce lower depression and anxiety levels. Taking advantage of the summer weather, exposure to natural sunlight increases vitamin D and serotonin levels, which improve your mood. Taking a moment to step outdoors, feel the sand under your toes or watch sundown can provide a sense of calming and well-being. Whether denying, hiking, or paddle boarding, spending time outdoors is essential to self-care.

Take time to unwind by using your vacation time.

Activities such as reading at home or travelling can be good activities during summer. Several of us use paid vacation time to accomplish tasks around the house that we neglect during busy workweeks. Instead of doing the house chores like cleaning the closet, organizing the garage, and attending long-overdue appointments, use your vacation to enjoy yourself.
