The clock change always hits me harder than I expect

It's only an hour, but every year when it gets dark so early I notice my mood and energy dropping. This year I'm trying to get outside in daylight at lunch, keep my sleep time the same, and plan a few small things to look forward to. It's not a fix, just making the slide a bit gentler. What small habits help you get through the darker months?

a lunch walk even when it's grey makes a real difference for me. even 15 min
