SAD – Tranquil Trekker: a blog about outdoor recreation and mindfulness-through-nature

It’s Baaaaack!!! 😎

I discuss our ever-lengthening daylight, and the subsequent reduction of my SAD symptoms.

I discuss my excitement that those of us in the Northern Hemisphere have made it to the Winter Solstice. The longest night of the year is behind us!

In this post I discuss my motivations for writing this blog.

I attempt to shed a "sunny" light on the darker days of the next few weeks...

I review a light, therapy lamp and an app I use to decrease symptoms of anxiety and seasonal depression.

I discuss my struggle with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and the tools and techniques I use to control the symptoms.
