Through the Seasons™ — The Seasonal Mood Support Companion

Changes in daylight, temperature, and daily routines can bring changes in how you feel and what you need. You may notice lower energy during darker months, discomfort or restlessness during warmer months, or difficulty keeping familiar routines.

Through the Seasons™ offers a gentle structure for noticing those patterns, adapting your daily care, and asking for support.

Created by Dr. Maxine Goring-Rodriguez, Ph.D., this SoulCentements™ companion draws on the Soul-Centered Mental Wellness Model, with spirituality at the center and four areas of care: Healthy Sense of Self, Psychological Flexibility, Perspective, and Daily Maintenance.

Inside your digital bundle

• Start Here: Choose your North Star, find a manageable starting point, and set a pace that respects your capacity.

• Seasonal Support Self-Check: A 15-item reflection tool to explore your current needs across mood and connection, sleep, seasonal surroundings, self-relationship, and support.

• Practical Guide: Explore darker-month and warmer-month care pathways, realistic routines, small meaningful activities, and ways to prepare for conversations with your care provider.

• Guided Workbook: Put reflection into practice with seasonal planning pages, four weekly mood and sleep trackers, support mapping, and a flexible 30-day practice.

• Quick Reference: Keep grounding prompts, affirmations, care reminders, and support contacts within reach.

Make space for care that fits your season

Use this companion to:

• Notice patterns without turning them into judgments about yourself.
• Create smaller versions of routines for lower-energy days.
• Practice responding to difficult thoughts with greater flexibility.
• Plan meaningful activities and manageable points of connection.
• Prepare questions and observations to share with a professional.
• Look ahead to seasonal changes with a practical support plan.

An optional Return to Center guided practice invites you to pause, reconnect with what matters, and choose one possible next step.

Designed for a gentle pace

Begin with one page or a few minutes. Repeat what helps, skip what does not fit, and adjust as your needs change. The 30-day practice is an invitation—not a deadline for feeling better.

Five resources in editable Word and printable PDF formats—10 files in one ZIP download, with 44 pages of content across the five resources. Documents include 0.75-inch margins, 7-inch college-ruled writing lines, and tables contained within the margins.

Word files can be used for typed responses. PDFs are designed for reading and printing and do not contain interactive fillable fields. This is a digital product; no physical items will be shipped.

Please note: This companion provides educational wellness support for adults. It does not diagnose or treat seasonal affective disorder or other mental health conditions and does not replace professional care. The self-check is an original reflection tool, not a validated clinical assessment.

Your worth remains steady, even when your capacity changes.
