Jim Kwik explains how direct sunlight without filters triggers serotonin release, boosting mood and mental clarity while resetting your circadian rhythm for better sleep. Even a few minutes outside works, even on hazy days.
This is really crucial. When the sunlight hits your eyes, not through a screen, not through sunglasses, not even through a window, because that could filter out some of the spectrum of light, it tells your brain to release serotonin. That could boost your mood, some of your motivation, help with mental clarity. Plus, it helps to reset your circadian rhythm, right? Helping you sleep better that night. And who doesn't want that? So it's really a double win. So if you can step outside, even for just a few minutes, even if it's hazy or foggy, you still get the benefits. Let your brain know it's time to shine.
