- “How are you dealing with all the dark and cold?” - I recently asked one of the expats here in Warsaw. - “It’s hard enough for us born and raised here, I can’t imagine how much harder it must be for someone coming from a hot and sunny place like Brazil!”
I relate to this as well. Although winter time _is_ usually the time when I pick up weightlifting (this year as well). As a way to keep my energy a bit higher than what it would be if I didn’t. And it’s also the time I rethink my decisions around work/life. (Now that I think of it, all the times that I quit my different jobs, it was always between half november and february).
Something else, on the genes thing. Iirc, there was a (sub?)species of hominids that had wintersleep, like many mammals still have. So maybe some of us have more of this inclination still?
