@beast405 It seems like you fall off training during the dark winter months and get re-motivated in the spring time.
Likely lower sun exposure / low vitamin D = Less dopamine = lower mood/less motivation and harder time handling life stressors.
Sun exposure and vitamin D are important for serotonin and dopamine, chemicals that keep you feeling chill, happy and motivated.
1. Veralux lamp on amazon to mimic sunlight in the winter months (This works, grab the cheapest one)
2. Vitamin D, generally 5,000 IU daily year round gets MOST people into the optimal range. (Make sure to buy D3 and not D2 and always take with a meal containing fat for proper absorption)
