I Made ChatGPT Plan My Christmas

Christmas time is nice, but it surely can be a little bit melancholy. I’m not embarrassed to confess that I get depressed through the winter generally (and through the Spring, Summer, and Fall, for that matter). One factor that at all times helps is being a little bit playful and peculiar. So within the spirit of open-mindedness, I requested ChatGPT for assist.

The strategies it gave have been fairly customary, however they’re in all probability all good concepts. “Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that occurs during the winter months, when there is less natural sunlight,” ChatGPT stated. The AI defined that this type of melancholy can occur to anybody, and stated the signs can embrace issues like low temper, hopelessness, focus issues, sleep or urge for food modifications, and low vitality ranges.

Nice to start out with a reminder that it is a frequent drawback. ChatGPT went on to counsel getting as a lot pure gentle as potential, common train, a nutritious diet, leisure methods like meditation, and in search of help from a buddy or contemplating seeing a psychological well being skilled.

I already noticed my therapist this week, so I used to be effectively on my approach. I threw on my headphones and took Chili out for a pleasant lengthy stroll. It was a little bit cloudy out, however I managed to get myself a dose of some pure gentle. I took additional time to let Chili sniff round and discover to her little Christmas-canine coronary heart’s content material.

When I acquired residence, I did a half-hour of yoga with my favorite YouTube teacher and adopted it up with some dried fruit and a wholesome hen sandwich. (ChatGPT additionally stated I ought to restrict sugary meals, so no extra Christmas cookies for as we speak.)

By the tip of it, I used to be feeling a bit higher. Nothing like a little bit AI to control your temper. Looks prefer it’s going to be a very good Christmas in spite of everything.
