In puddles, birds fly with clouds. And we – We do not disperse, because we know how to support our cuckoo in the fall.
Autumn is traditionally a difficult time for the people of Russia. The daylight hours are getting frighteningly shorter, the fruit and vegetable season is ending, it’s like the holiday season, but beriberi begins. The workload is increasing on all fronts. Children and students go to the garden, to study and to sections. After a more or less comfortable summer, adults are returning to shock work, and many already have a New Year’s report on their noses.
As it has already become clear, autumn is a difficult time when physical fatigue and lack of light are combined with emotional exhaustion. No wonder the mental illnesses that currently exist are exacerbating.
Is it possible to help yourself somehow or is all that remains to wait for spring? I agree, this option sounds insulting because there are no spare lives. It is unlikely that he will want to wait six months for the sun to rise again.
With Olga Makarova, a practicing analytical psychologist, we are interested in how to reduce dependence on a harsh climate and what you can count on here.

take care of your body
Body and mind are inextricably linked and one affects the other. These are two hard truths. Therefore, in no case should you ignore the body, hoping to improve the state of the soul. We always start with it! Remember Maslow’s pyramid. It is strange to expect a good mood and creative solutions from yourself if you sleep two hours a day. This is absolutely basic knowledge, but how often and with what determination do we pretend it doesn’t exist.
In the fall you want to move the least, but at the same time you need to do it. This is essential for the blood vessels, nervous system, and digestion – yes, for every cell actually. In addition, serotonin and dopamine are unable to produce themselves and are hopelessly deprived just in the off-season. So morning exercises, or rather walks in the air, plus the exercises you love are an indispensable part of the program.
If you can’t make friends with sports, at least remember to walk. Walking is simply necessary, it is not in vain that Homo erectus tried and learned it. It also helps process emotions and literally changes the emotional state.
Open your favorite podcast and take thousands of steps and you will definitely get better after a while. You may have seen people walking back and forth during a nervous phone call – it really helps to deal with emotions and get them under control.
Basically, take time for your body. Feed him well, walk, exercise, take him for a massage, and he’ll thank you with a quality cocktail of hormones and neurotransmitters.
look for support in
There is a kind of bug in our culture: it is believed that by relying on the outside, happiness or a feeling of fullness can be achieved.
Yes, it’s not worth depriving yourself of the pleasure, and there’s nothing wrong with boosting your spirits with a delightful purchase or a delicious meal. However, this will only temporarily eliminate the symptom without solving the problem.
The “cheap dopamine” we get from buying the next thing, eating a piece of cake, sitting on the phone on social networks is bound to run out soon. There will be no feeling of contentment, no satisfaction, no happiness.
The outer is a reflection of the inner, a person reflects something from himself. If there is a space inside, it will not be filled no matter how many bags you buy. The idea that certain things or people can make people happy is a marketing myth. Happiness is born deep inside and can be truly developed from the outside. But if there is space in it, it will not go anywhere.
It is important to understand that there is nothing stronger than inner support, and growing it is not easy. But it’s definitely worth it.
This will help you understand your values, for example. If you get good food just because your friends are making it, it’s never full.
And if you do this because beauty and family are your core values, the choice of food and service can be for you an inner drive and a point of contact with true light, even in the darkest of times.
Instructions for use
The task of each of us is to know ourselves. And make some kind of “instructions for use”. Many people who are allergic to birch and know this, try to leave the area where they are during the flowering period. Or take antihistamines.
This is reasonable, because you see, having this knowledge, it is strange to hope for a miracle and think that the birch will not bloom this year.
If you are already familiar with depressive episodes and know that the situation may recur in the fall, take action in advance. Sign up for a consultation with a psychotherapist, plan a vacation in a sunny country, draw up a plan of action to be in good shape.
subjectivity
If you are an object, you get carried away and everything affects you: the weather, the news, the opinions of everyone around you, etc. Weather is something you cannot control. Yes, it does affect us and it makes sense to admit it. But being an object enough to let him control you isn’t worth it.
If a person is subjective, he knows what he lives for, what is the meaning of his life, what are his values, and can independently take care of adapting to the environment. And then it does not matter to him what the weather is outside the window and what time of year it is. It reaches for the light and grows in everything like bamboo, the weather, the views of its neighbor, and all other natural phenomena that it cannot control.
If you happen to be that person then the weather blues will stop controlling your life from September to May.
