Sunshine & Your Mental Health!

By Vivienne Lillis

A little sunlight can go a long way for your mind, mood, and energy!

• Boosts mood by supporting serotonin, often called the “feel-good” brain chemical.

• Helps regulate your sleep-wake rhythm, which can improve rest and emotional balance.

• Supports vitamin D production, which is linked with overall wellbeing.

• Can increase energy and alertness, especially when you get natural light earlier in the day.

• Encourages time outdoors, movement, and mindful breaks from screens.
