After reading Katherine May's "Wintering," I fell in love with winter! What helps me love winter is getting cozy in the season: warm candles, a fireplace, knit blankets and hats, cooking and baking. But, during the winter, I really liken to my body. If I'm tired, I go to bed, even if it's early. If I'm awake, I get up, even if it's really early! That helps me move through the winter.
I love cold water swimming in winter. So invigorating and euphoric when it's really cold. Look forward to it every day which is huge for me as I used to HATE the cold of winter for years. Now I embrace and enjoy it.
Oh I would love to try cold water swimming one day. I am a bit crap though, even getting into a cold pool on holiday - my husband takes great pleasure in laughing at my style of getting in! That's so cool you love it though - do you have somewhere local to go?
Ah thanks for the restack, Kirsty! How do you feel about winter? x
