Whoo-Hoo! I am feeling some spring energy today. Longer days (though losing an hour did mess up both the cats and me for a few days), mild weather, daffodils pushing through. The seasonal shift has left me feeling more motivated.
This isn’t all in my mind—though my mind is definitely helped by these changes. Research from the Centre of Chronobiology and other institutions that look at these things shows that the longer days and natural light boost serotonin, improving mood, motivation, and cognitive flexibility. And, sunlight can also increase Vit. D levels.
Translation for writers: it’s easier to think, connect ideas, and persist in your writing. If you’ve been feeling a creative lift, like I have, it’s not only your imagination. Use the energy and get writing.
