From Fall Funk to Flourish

Fall in New England is beautiful… and let’s be honest, it can be tough. The shorter days, gray skies, and full schedules can leave many of us feeling low energy, unmotivated, or emotionally “off.”

This month, we’re focusing on small, actionable steps that support mental health through this seasonal transition.

Earlier this month at Soulshine Studio, we shared integrative and nutritional approaches to beating the “fall funk.” Here are a few easy ways you can start shifting your energy right now:

✨ Light it up — Begin your morning near a sunny window or use a light therapy lamp for a natural mood lift.

✨ Move joyfully — A kitchen dance party counts! Just 10 minutes of movement can release tension and boost energy.

✨ Feed your body well — Warm, nutrient-dense meals help stabilize mood and keep energy steady throughout the day.

You don’t have to overhaul everything at once. Tiny shifts, practiced consistently, can have a big impact as we move through fall and into winter.

Nutrition for Mental Health Tip of the Month

Warm Foods for Cold Days

This season, your brain thrives on steady blood sugar and nourishing comfort. Try incorporating:

  • Hearty soups and stews with veggies and protein

  • Roasted root vegetables with olive oil and herbs

  • Warm herbal teas and broths instead of cold drinks

These foods support your mood and keep your energy stable all day long.


LifeBalance's Leader, Jessica Pinkham, LICSW had a great morning at Pittsfield Elementary School in October such a devoted group of individuals helping our children learn and grow!   Teacher's are doping some incredible things ... they are truly amazing people!
