Why emotions, memories, and mental states move in cycles
Emotions are not static traitsâthey are biological and neurological processes that move in rhythm with the body and environment. Just as energy, sleep, and appetite shift seasonally, so do emotional tone, memory access, and mental focus. These changes are not signs of instability or weakness; they are part of the bodyâs natural processing system.
Seasonal emotional patterns exist because different times of year provide different levels of safety, space, stimulation, and nervous system capacity.
