Winter is upon us! As the weather gets colder, many activities have to move indoors. Check out our self-care tips for the winter season!
Since we will have to spend more time indoors during winters, one thing you can you is catch up on reading. Reading can help get your creative juices flowing as you immerse yourself into the story you are following.
When going outdoors, it is important to dress appropriately for the weather. You don’t want to get sick!
Just recently, I went for a walk, and underestimated the weather. While I was wearing jeans and a hoodie, it wasn’t enough; I was quite cold.
Grab, your jacket, hat, and gloves, and you’ll be even more prepared for the extra cool air.
The oldest tradition in the book! Make yourself a nice, hot cup of cocoa, and sip away. If you like marshmallows, throw some in the cup for extra flavor!
Some people get very lonely when the cold season traps them inside. Send a card to a loved one to let them know you’re thinking of them!
After making yourself a cup of hot cocoa, sit by the fireplace for extra warmth. If you don’t have a fireplace in your house, crank up your heaters. Not too much, though, to avoid a high electric bill lol. Another alternative is taking a warm or hot shower.
Finally, get cozy and watch your favorite movies. If you can’t make it to a theater, streaming services have a plethora of films you can check out. If you don’t stream, YouTube is a great alternative!
