What do you do to mitigate the effects of chronic stress on your life?
I'm not really sure... I guess I just make sure that each day I have some little time for myself, time to play a computer game or something like that when the kids are asleep. Taking care of little things immediately (yes no short answer emails...), or lumping a group of chores together (recycling, however small, in the way to do the groceries..). And I guess, mostly, just knowing when to stop and finish for the day!
Have you tried Vitamin d supplement? Some people think that works well to help with the loss of sunlight in the winter.
I haven't! I heard it's hard to absorb vitamin D in vitamin form but some people do swear by it.
They make the kids have it here in Netherlands... it was even recommended to me at some point as well, although, I haven't really kept up with it.
