Sometimes it feels like I'm always at a station in the dark.

That’s especially true in the winter months isn’t it?

I think today is the first day where is starts officially getting lighter in the evening.  In December most of us leave for work in the dark and arrive home in the dark, which I’m sure isn’t good for us.  We need sunlight to function properly both mentally and physically. I’m sure lots of don’t even see sunlight at lunchtime as we probably don’t leave our workplace for lunch, instead opting for sandwiches or similar at our desks……. NOT GOOD.  Take a break, take a walk, get some fresh air.  YOU WILL feel better for it.

Whatever the time of year and in general whatever the weather make time to walk each day.  If you’re a tube traveler get off the tube a stop early and walk the rest of the way to work or a stop early on the way home.  This simple trick can help…. I promise.

Also, if you’re happy doing it walk on the escalator at the tube station.  Don’t get on and let it lift you all the way up.  Take the left side and walk up or down.  Everything helps.
