I get hit really hard with it. I need sunshine. A few things work for me:
-adjusting my daily work environment to include more sunshine
-waking up earlier
-working out in the morning
-sleeping earlier/longer
-staying away from boozy nights
-going hard at my diet to lose weight and prevent gain
-tanning bed, on the lowest setting. It wont tan you, but in 10 minutes get all the light you need.
The years I do the worst are when I let it all go with boozing, eating and sexing. This year I want to pull it back and really take care of myself. I am going to get back into crossfit seriously again. I was a coach, competed, and have been doing it regularly for 9 years. I took a break from it a few years ago to chill and let my body heal. I was never really injured, but I thought a typical gym rat lifting routine would be enough for me. Its not. I need sport and competition. Especially in the winter, if I am focused on a schedule, I can get through it easier.
