How to Enjoy Winter: 20 Good Things About Wintertime

It can be easy to slip into a low mood in the wintertime. S.A.D. (Seasonal Affected Disorder) is a real mental health issue, where the change in the seasons and the shorter days can cause us to feel depressed. I’ve suffered from this for years. However, if we try, we can see the good things that come with the colder months. Then, focusing on these little things can help us to make it through to Spring…

Here are 20 good things about the winter:

Hot showers
Reading nooks
Blankets and film marathons
Autumn leaves
Vibes fit for writing emotive poetry
Clear night’s sky
Cosy dressing gowns
Hot chocolates
Sitting by a fire and sharing stories
Christmas dinner
Slowing down
Christmas Day!
New Year/ New Calendar (fresh start/ rebirth, new goals, newness)
Harry Potter
Christmas films!
Snow and frost
Winter sports (take part or watch)
Christmas Markets
Fireworks
Gift giving

 

Enjoy this time of year and before you know it, the plants will come to life once more and we’ll be welcoming Spring…
