Are you flowing with the light?

Wherever you are around the world, these past few months have borne witness to some extraordinary weather. From record winds and droughts to unprecedented rainfall and massive snowstorms. 

Weather patterns can have an impact on our psychology too. When the barometer starts to go haywire our moods may become changeable; they can brighten and become sunny or darken and get very stormy. Like the weather, our emotions sometimes seem like fickle forces of nature: unstable, enveloping, and uncontrollable.

Weather certainly provides a vivid language to describe our emotional atmosphere and has inspired artists, musicians, and authors to create great works for generations. 

We know from experience that getting out in whatever daylight we have at this time of year can improve our overall mood. Added benefits on gloomy days and dark nights are good books, paints, needlework, music, cooking, a belly laugh with friends and, if you’re very fortunate, some warm-loving… in fact, just about anything can make our hearts fill with joy and our winter mood loosen up. 

So go on, get your friends over, pour a glass of your favourite ‘something’ and express yourself in the best way you know, most of all – have fun!
