00:00:00 --> 00:00:01 In recent episodes,

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05 we've discussed the effect weather and atmospheric changes have

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06 on mental health.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:11 Now that you know, what steps can you take proactively?

00:00:12 --> 00:00:12 Stay tuned.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16 Hello,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18 and welcome to MOMO 634,

00:00:18 --> 00:00:24 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29 MOMO 634.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:37 Who knew the episode, Does Weather Affect Your Mood?

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41 The science behind atmospheric changes and mental health.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59 would go kind of supernova, pardon the pun.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:04 It currently has over 26 listens on YouTube,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06 which tells me I'm not alone.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10 And if you deal with this issue, you aren't alone either.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16 I'm guessing its virality has to do with the fact the word

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17 weather is in the title,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22 because that's continued to be a major issue here in Texas and

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 other parts of the

00:01:23 --> 00:01:23 country.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25 Which begs the question,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29 if you do suffer from meteoropathy,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31 weather-related changes in mood,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:32 now what?

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34 It's great that you know,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38 but what can you actually do about it to mitigate the

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40 atmospheric impact on your

00:01:40 --> 00:01:40 mental health?

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44 According to the National Institute of Health,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:45 NIH,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:46 quote,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48 adopting a healthy lifestyle,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50 including physical activity,

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54 a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58 supplements containing magnesium and vitamin B complex,

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00 water consumption,

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02 normal circadian rhythms,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 and light therapy can help,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:05 end quote.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08 Check out the episode,

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09 Are You Sad?,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12 for more on light therapy and seasonal affective disorder,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14 a related condition.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20 In our last episode, HiveMind helped me gamify this common sleep problem.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23 I mentioned that I take supplements before bed,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26 including magnesium and vitamin B.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30 I find that when I can get that with food,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32 empty stomach window,

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33 just right to take them,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36 I do far better.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38 Your mileage may vary,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39 and of course,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40 since I'm not a clinician,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45 do check with your primary care team before taking any supplements.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:49 The NIH article mentions hydration.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52 As I've mentioned in these weather-related episodes,

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55 atmospheric changes trigger migraines for me.

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59 Know what a key factor in migraine protocol is?

00:03:00 --> 00:03:01 Hydration.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06 I do drink a lot of water, but probably not nearly enough.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:08 And of course,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10 with a title like our last episode,

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12 Invoking Help for Sleep Issues,

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15 clearly circadian rhythms are crucial,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16 and I'm working on this.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18 At the same time,

00:03:18 --> 00:03:22 I'm honoring my body clock because forcing something where I'm

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24 constantly tired is

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28 just as counterproductive as stretching nighttime boundaries as

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29 I'm currently

00:03:29 --> 00:03:29 doing.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35 Just because storms swirl about us doesn't mean we need to get

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36 caught in the chaos.

00:03:37 --> 00:03:42 God can calm the crackling currents in the air and in our neurons.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46 Psalm 107.29 says,

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49 He calmed the storm to a whisper,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53 and the waves of the sea were hushed.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55 As always,

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59 I'm linking the episodes mentioned along with the NIH article

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01 on meteoropathy below
