Positive Affirmations for Winter Depression


The winter season can be a hopeful and sad time. Due to the changes in the weather and personal issues that this season brings, depression becomes inevitable. Nostalgic thoughts might occur if you had ended a relationship during the winter months. Also, if people keep making you feel inadequate about yourself, your depression gets worse. It is so effortless to fall into a depressive state of mind without knowing you are hurting your loved ones. 


Even if you do not end a relationship during the winter months, there is always something that triggers the emotion of sadness. Every year when December arrives, you might reflect on the things that went wrong instead of the good things. However, to avoid being depressed in the winter, one must realize that this state of mind is not healthy. It is better to be kind to yourself by reading positive affirmations. This will not completely take away all your sadness and other symptoms of SAD. 


Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) causes you to sleep too much, feel too tired, and overeat. Although SAD is temporary and it goes away on its own, it still should be managed by a doctor. Therefore, using positive affirmations for depression is one method to gradually change your mood. Your doctor can prescribe medications for your Seasonal Affective Disorder. This type of depression can also appear in the autumn, spring, and summer season.


The symptoms may vary throughout the seasons. Moreover, your doctor may suggest treatments and supplements such as light therapy, vitamin D, serotonin, and melatonin. Positive affirmations can help you feel motivated while doing your treatment for SAD. Furthermore, if Seasonal Affective Disorder is not treated, it may lead to substance abuse, alcohol abuse, anxiety, and eating disorders. Here is a brief list of positive affirmations for winter depression.

 

1. I am joyful even when I am not smiling. 

2. I am priceless to people who appreciate me. 

3. I love myself and I am kind to my body. 

4. I receive respect and fulfillment and continue to progress into the person I want to be. 

5. I do not have to demonstrate to anyone who I am. 

6. I am strong and have the willpower to continue. 

7. I may not be perfect, but I am beautiful for my loved ones. 

8. I do not change anyone's beauty standards. 

9. I am happy with myself as I continue to move forward. 

10. I am honest and trust myself. 

These affirmations make you feel better about yourself. You must not hate yourself for the way things are. Recite your positive affirmations any time you feel sadness. Seasonal Affective Disorder is problematic to manage and should not be managed without professional help. Here are resources about positive affirmations and quotes for depression.
