  Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Sound Within.
• 0:03
  My name is Hannah Rose, and I wanted to hop on here and talk about something
• 0:10
  that has been affecting me as of lately, seasonal depression.
• 0:19
  Now, some of you may know that I have moved from Florida to North Carolina this past February.
• 0:31
  And I lived in Florida for about four years.
• 0:35
  So the weather was typically hot and muggy, and I didn't get a lot of cold weather.
• 0:45
  And during the holiday season,
• 0:50
  the the weather didn't change it just stayed the same 24 7 palm trees and heat
• 0:59
  now some of you might be thinking that sounds like heaven,
• 1:04
  but for me it ended up taking a toll on me after a while because i was finding
• 1:11
  myself sitting inside in the AC rather than being out at the beach like you would typically think.
• 1:20
  And now that I've been here for a few months in North Carolina, it's starting to.
• 1:32
  Change. It's not summer anymore, which I loved.
• 1:36
  I loved being in the garden and sitting outside in the sun.
• 1:42
  Now, don't get me wrong, the sun still comes out midday for now.
• 1:51
  But the leaves are changing. It's starting to get to that holiday season.
• 2:00
  And for me, I have been missing my family lately.
• 2:07
  I moved away from my family to actually go to rehab in Florida.
• 2:14
  And I got clean there, and I was there for about four years.
• 2:19
  And we decided to move to North Carolina because of the job opportunity here
• 2:27
  for my partner, as well as the location that we had locked down.
• 2:35
  But we were also considering moving to where my family lives But we ended up not,
• 2:44
  And with the holidays coming up around the corner I'm feeling a bit of a nostalgic feeling,
• 2:53
  That change in the air I think you guys know what I'm talking about.
• 3:00
  And,
• 3:03
  And I just remember having the best holidays as a kid with my family.
• 3:10
  So for me, it's been really hard being away from them.
• 3:16
  My family was always really close. And so for me to have moved away, it just kind of sucks.
• 3:27
  And I made the decision And of course,
• 3:32
  this is my path I have to walk
• 3:36
  my path I can't comfort others in my existence I have to be content and happy
• 3:48
  with my surroundings and my everyday life.
• 3:57
  And I really didn't know where this episode was going, but I knew I wanted to
• 4:02
  touch on the fact that a lot of people experience seasonal depression.
• 4:08
  It starts to get cold, it's icky, everyone's getting sick. I'm actually just
• 4:13
  getting over a sickness currently.
• 4:17
  And I just can't seem to kick it. So you might hear a little bit of congestion
• 4:23
  in my voice while I'm speaking about this stuff.
• 4:28
  And I'm just going to be honest, the holiday season is beautiful,
• 4:35
  don't get me wrong, but I think that we all need to be a lot kinder to ourselves during this time,
• 4:45
  especially for people that have lost loved ones or are away from their loved ones.
• 4:55
  Even if this has nothing to do with your loved ones Just be kind to yourself During this time,
• 5:04
  I'm not too familiar with the shaman resonance But I do know that there are
• 5:09
  constantly shifts Energetic shifts going on,
• 5:15
  Which I would love to learn more about I'm just not too familiar with it But I did notice that,
• 5:24
  It was irregular as of today, and I had a migraine for the past two days.
• 5:32
  Now, you cannot tell me that our bodies do not align with the elements of Earth.
• 5:45
  Based on those couple of things that I just touched on.
• 5:50
  Just be kind to yourself be gentle with yourself you don't have to carry the
• 5:58
  weight of everything on your shoulders,
• 6:03
  and this could mean anything for anyone it's more of a general topic really,
• 6:15
  i really just wish everybody love and happiness and i hope that hearing this finds you well,
• 6:26
