Weather and its impact on moods

t’s been a beautiful sunny day here in London and I have noticed how much it has lifted my mood.

The sky is clear and blue; the temperature is mild but with a gentle breeze running across my skin and keeping me feeling cool and fresh.

I’m comparing it to a recent day which was wet but sticky and very very grey and I felt nasty, sweaty and with soaking clothes by 9am in the morning that I had to stay in all day.

The impact on how I am going about day due to the weather is huge. I feel less stressed, more at ease and taking the time to enjoy the sunshine and the world around me.

The other day I just had my head down and tried to avoid the environment as much as possible.

How much do you notice the weather and what impact does it have on your moods?

Do you give yourself the time to revel in the good days like I am today? Reflecting on it as I write I know I don’t do that very often, but doing it today has given me a new appreciation and determination to make more effort going forward.

I know I have a tendency to focus on the doom and gloom of life instead of the moments  of joy. Today I’m celebrating the weather and feeling incredibly mellow and relaxed.
