friends it is time for the annual

Don't Get SAD Plan

I was starting to think maybe it was time and then I realised today is the equinox so: northern hemisphere friends, this is your official handover of the sun. Look after her, we want her back in a few months. you can ignore the rest of this post

but for those of us in the Glorious Southern Hemisphere: time to beat the SAD sads!

my plan encompasses 3 domains: figure out what to revel in in the season, create things to look forward to, and also cover the basics: food, move your body, vitamin D. The specifics are slightly different to last year (the first time I made an official plan) but the domains remain the same.

This year's plan for me:

spend time outside first thing in the morning

fairy lights go UP when daylight savings kicks in

sit around the fireplace (big win of this year: I have a fireplace) with fancy hot chocolates (I reserve the really good, melt your own dark chocolate style hot chocolates for the winter months)

daily walk

knit a sweater (this is the same sweater as last year)

find or make at least 1-2 cozy winter-only outfits (non-knit)

find mulled wine/cider occasions

plan a holiday in July/August

Everyone else in this hemisphere is very welcome to join me in a don't get SAD plan! (Name optional, I just find the acronym entertaining.) I did come up with it myself but based on conversations with an excellent psychologist when I was in the throes of my SAD the previous year, and it really truly made a difference

Going for a woodland walk on a Sunday afternoon in autumn, all bundled up in my scarf and cardigan, grabbing a coffee with my mum along the way = perfection! ☕️🍂🍁🦔✨🤎

if any sanctuary, bsg, or the nanny writers out there are taking requests, i would love to read an autumn-themed fic for nikola/helen, laura/bill, or niles/c.c.

to date, i don't think i've read one.
