Here are a few simple steps: 

1. Increase your vitamin D levels!

Good brand of vitamin D is a spray ‘Better You Vitamin D3’ I suggest 1000units per one spray. 

If you have not just come back from a sunny holiday, take 3000 units once a day for about 10 weeks then reduce to 1000units once a day. This is adult dose.

2. Get SAD Lamp/Therapy Light/ Happy Lamp. The best time to use it is for 30min to a few hours in the morning. That way it regulates circadian rhythm (awake and sleep cycles). 

3. Socialise with your friends; make new friends. 

4. Get outdoors

5. Nourish yourself 

Physically: good nutrition

Emotionally through your family, friends, music, arts…

Spiritually by finding what inspires you and doing it. 

6.  Seek help and confide in a friend or a family member (if you are not yet doing it)

7.  Use Journalling

8. Find meaning in your experiences. A great therapist would be very helpful for that. Turn scars into Stars (Joel Osteen)
