“Sunflower Time” Will Boost Your Mood

People online have come up with a quick mood booster for those stuck indoors all day. They’re calling it “sunflower time.” The idea is to step outside for a few minutes and soak up the sun, just like a houseplant. They say to aim for five minutes, but even 30 seconds of standing quietly in the sun can lift your spirits and help you recharge. Experts recommend getting healthy amounts of sunlight, as it plays an important role in your body’s production of vitamin D, which affects energy, mood, and sleep.
