I recently
started to expose myself to more sunlight in order to widen my eyes and improve
my mood and affect. It really has worked, my eyes are wider, calmer and I feel
better. I also squint less, especially when I am outside during the day. Living
indoors we get a lot less sunlight than our ancestors and it has been shown
that there is a huge relationship between depression and diminished exposure to
the sun. Different forms of depression including seasonal affective disorder,
common malaise and angst may be ameliorated by exposure to sunlight. Common forms
of phototherapy have shown great promise but these usually use artificial light
and do not address squinting, which I think plays a big causal role in negative
affect. I think that squinting is tied neurologically to anxiety and depression
and that if we can stop squinting, and have wider eyes we can live happier
lives.
The only
problem is when we are out in the sun, we squint heavily. I have tried to
expose myself to just the right amount of indirect sunlight so that I can bask
in it, wide-eyed, without squinting. I have worked up from here exposing myself
to more and more sunlight without having to squint but every time I tried to
expose my eyes to direct sunlight (not looking directly at the sun of course) I
couldn’t help but to squint. The following is a great exercise that should
allow you to tolerate more sunlight without squinting.
Allow yourself
to sit or lie in the sun so that the sun’s rays enter into your eyes. You are
not looking directly at the sun but your eyes are getting direct sunlight. This
means that your skull and brow are not providing any shadow for your eyes.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply for a few seconds to five minutes without
squinting. Your eyes should be closed, top to bottom, with your lids “wide
shut,” meaning that you are not squinting at all. You can even do this through
your windshield or window at home to reduce your exposure to harmful rays. This
practice will allow you to tolerate more sunlight and will improve the look of
your eyes, making them feel and appear more healthy, calm and open.
