Coping With Seasonal Depression

Changing seasons affect mood and motivation. Do you experience seasonal depression or winter blues? What coping methods, light therapy, outdoor activity, or socializing, have helped you handle it better?
 
I don't usually deal with seasonal depression, maybe around the time summer hits as I can't stand the heat, but that's more of an issue I have with just not liking to sweat . I also like the winter season as it's much cooler, the only downside is having to shovel snow, which I hate to do. Other than that, if I am depressed, I usually find something to do to take my mind off of it, and that usually helps.
 
For me,. it's during the winter. I tend to be very lazy during that period. It makes me lazy. So, what I do is go outside even if it’s cold, just for some light. It helps me a bit. But in most cases, I just distract myself with games or shows till it passes.
