Spring Equinox Mood Swings: Why You Feel Restless & How to Cope
•The spring equinox, when day and night are equal, can cause restlessness, low energy, and sleeplessness due to the body's response to environmental shifts.
•Seasonal transitions disrupt circadian rhythms and hormone production (serotonin, melatonin), affecting mood and energy stability.
•Ayurveda explains these changes as temporary imbalances in doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), leading to anxiety, irritability, or sluggishness.
•Practices like Bhramari pranayama, sun salutations, and healing walks in early sunlight can help regulate the nervous system and recalibrate rhythms.
•Dietary adjustments like warm, easy-to-digest meals, warm hydration, and consistent routines (sleep, gentle yoga) support the body during this transition.
