You shall look for the light – that’s what your body and mind crave.
Exposition to it in the early morning will regularize your circadian rhythm – allowing you to enjoy more energy during the day and restful nights.
From now on, light therapy will become an integral part of your daily routine – as it will allow you to set the tone for a more productive and happier day.
How To Do It
Simple. You go and expose yourself to the sunlight for 5 minutes. Be it through a window, at your balcony or if you decide to go for a small walk - just make sure to expose yourself to the light.
Exposing your face and hands is enough to feel a difference - but if you can expose more parts of your body, go for it. You could wear a swimsuit, for example, and let the sun do its magic.
It only takes 5 minutes, but of course, you can eventually increase it to 10 minutes as you feel more comfortable. But for now, to make the habit stick, focus on completing it for 5 minutes.
What To Do If There’s No Sun?
You have some workarounds this when there’s no sun shining in the sky. Here’s how to do it:
➤ Buy a light therapy lamp
➤ Buy a sunlight bulb
➤ The advantage of this is that you can get naked and allow the light to cover your entire body. However, if you can get exposed to sunlight, do it.
