00:06Anita H. Lipala, when it comes to boosting your work-from-home mood, especially if you're
00:12suffering from seasonal depression. So how does one do that exactly? Improving your environment
00:18is a great place to start, HuffPost reports. Practicing psychologist Maria Carla Manley says,
00:25Light therapy devices, sometimes termed SAD light boxes, are an effective research-backed
00:32method of treating SAD. In fact, both sunlight and electric light sources can be a powerful tool.
00:40Revamping your workspace can help motivate and inspire. The site suggests you grab some plants,
00:46even fake ones. Reorganize and declutter to make daily tasks more manageable. And last but certainly
00:53not least, ask for the help where and when help is required. Psychotherapist Grace Huntley says,
01:00if you have the means to hire outside help to get things done,
01:04like cleaning the apartment or doing laundry, then give yourself that option.
