How to Cope With Winter

Karen Burke | Nov 11, 2020

Considering that we have 4 seasons and that winter can be l-o-o-o-ong, why not flip that feeling of hating winter into a more positive, embracing one?

Dress in layers of clothing, warm mitts and step outside...try to have a positive attitude. Just go out for 10-15 minutes initially. Just look around where you live, then go inside & reward yourself with a hot chocolate or some such.

Next day (or 2 or 3 days later)(no more though or you’ll fall into passivity), try to go out for a wee bit longer. You can do this! By slowly taking more time outside, you may begin to see it’s beauty.

Hating winter means that you waste 1/4 (or more) of each year inside, maybe filled with annoyance and loathing. By wasting 1/4 of each year, you are wasting 1/4 of your life. Try switching to embrace winter.... there are snowmen (er, snowpersons?) to be made, snow angels to make.... a walk in the snow... you can do this!
