For today\u2019s Feel Good Friday we are talking about SUNLIGHT. Did you know that the symptoms of the winter blues can be worsened by a lack of sun exposure? So getting outside and soaking up the sun (even in winter temperatures) is critical! Being in the sunlight can help increase our melatonin production and increase our vitamin D levels, which can lead to an improved emotional state. If you cannot get outdoors, move a chair, workstation or kitchen table next to a window that gets sunlight and soak up those rays!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Remember that CMHA Lambton Kent is here to help.
