A Simple Technique to Combat ADHD in Winter

For citizens living in the northern hemisphere, the days are getting shorter. Shorter winter days can affect your mood, especially if you deal with mental health issues like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Daily Walks Help Me Fight ADHD

Daily walks, particularly in nature, help me beat winter blues and keep the worst excesses of ADHD in check. If you're lucky enough to live near a park or anywhere with plenty of greenery, consider taking daily walks to boost your mood. These walks don't have to last for hours. In fact, I reap plenty of benefits after an hour-long walk -- not least of which is the chance to get away from a screen and forget about work.

Do you like walking, even in winter? Let me know in the comments.
