Reconnecting With the Present
This time of year, we seem to reach a place where we naturally don’t belong. Instead of being out in the sun working, farming, hunting, or building and constructing with our community, we are working indoors. We have deadlines, online appointments, emails, and text messages, and we are literally tethered to our phones and digital devices. Can you relate to this? If so, I suggest you follow these 3 steps to help you recover from SAD and to deeply improve your quality of life.

Step 1: Disconnect to Reconnect
If you live in OC and are constantly online, you will eventually discover there is no happiness found in participating in online social media. There is no connection on the internet; in fact, you will most likely find disconnection. This holiday season, I challenge you to take stock of your physical environment for a day. Try it even for a week. Turn your phone off after work, along with all digital devices. Take a deep breath. I really mean it: B-R-E-A-T-H-E! In through the nose, out through the mouth. Then try to stay connected this evening with your family and loved ones.

Step 2: Prioritize Real Connection
This may seem ridiculous, but after you have food, shelter, and those most basic needs, the next thing you need is love. You will not find love buried in work, or through spending hours reading social media posts. You find it by talking to others. When was the last time you looked someone in the eyes and really spoke to them? And speaking is not just saying words, it’s also communicating. That means listening. We have two ears and one mouth for a reason: listen twice as hard as you speak, and then you will make deeper connections with people. Communicating with someone is the best path to love and acceptance.

Step 3: Get Moving
If you live in Orange County, you have all this great weather. You have gardeners, housekeepers, a mailman, a trash man; all your chores have been taken care of. While you sit all day, you are becoming more depressed. Take a walk outside. You don’t need a gym membership to look good. All you need to do is stand up and walk out the door. The only thing keeping you inside is probably you. Tell me this: do you have so much work that you can’t go outside and walk briskly for 5 minutes? Shake all that tension off, and B-R-E-A-T-H-E. When I say breathe, that means breathe strong and hard. Breathe harder than you have ever breathed before. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Studies have shown that breathing out is really where all the negative energy is released. Just by doing this for 5 minutes each day, you will look better, and even feel better.
Discovering Euphoria
Discover happiness year-round. Then take the next step to ultimately discover euphoria. You can experience euphoria no matter where you live, and it’s especially easy to find in a place with good weather year-round, like Orange County. Euphoria is not a drug-induced or chemically altered state of mind. In fact, it is the opposite. You discover euphoria when you are most focused and most productive. Some people call this experience “flow.” If you are an OC surfer like me, you definitely know what “flow” is. It is the kind of stoke you find when you are surfing the perfect wave and making all the right turns. This can be found through picking up a hobby, mastering a puzzle, creating a song or poem, or participating in a marathon.
