Self-love: Embracing cosy winter moments

I absolutely adore winter and today, I'm here to share some tips on how to enhance your self-love journey during the holiday season with some amazing activities. 

It's a season that beckons us to slow down, to savour the quiet moments, and to revel in the simple joys that winter bestows. 

Let's get started...

Morning Walks:

One of my cherished winter rituals involves bundling up in layers and taking a brisk morning walk.

To me, the fresh, chilly air sets a very positive tone for the day. 

The natural beauty surrounding me, from frosted branches to untouched fields of snow, transforms a simple walk into a true winter fairy tale. 

In addition, exhalation whilst walking is important for releasing airborne toxins to improve the quality of your well-being.

It's not just about the physical exercise; it's an opportunity to immerse myself in the beauty of the season, fostering a deep appreciation for the wonders that winter brings. 

Reflecting on the year with gratitude:

Every grateful person is a happy person, a realisation that came after so many years of always striving for more and more. 

Taking a step back and reflecting on the year with gratitude for the love and support of family has become a cherished winter tradition. 

Sharing stories, laughter, and gratitude deepens our bonds and warms our hearts during the colder months.

With the year drawing to a close, these moments of reflection with loved ones become a source of strength and joy, making us appreciate the importance of the present moments even more.

Home Hygge Evenings:

As the sun sets early during winter, I find solace in creating a cosy haven at home. 

Lighting a few candles, wrapping myself in a warm blanket, and sipping on a cup of herbal tea – it's my perfect recipe for a cosy evening. 

The soft glow of candlelight and the warmth of the tea create an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation. 

It's during these evenings that I often find time to reflect on the day, read a good book, or simply enjoy the peace of being at home.

Perfect time to spend more time doing your hobbies:

Winter transforms the world into a glistening wonderland. 

I love grabbing my camera, going outside and capturing the intricate beauty of snowflakes or the serene landscapes draped in a blanket of white. 

Each snowflake is a unique work of art, and attempting to capture their delicate nature through photography has become a winter hobby I eagerly anticipate. 

Finding joy in the small, fleeting moments is a way I’ve found to bring me hapiness.

Another activity you can maybe also try is DIY candle crafting. Choose a winter-hued candle and let your creativity flow.

Experiment with melting wax for unique patterns. 

Culinary Adventures

In the heart of winter, my kitchen transforms into a haven for culinary experimentation. 

Beyond making soups, I indulge in the sweet artistry of homemade desserts.

Picture warm cinnamon rolls, fresh from the oven, their enticing aroma wafting through the air. 

Ah, I love it! And there are some recipes that are on the healthier side.

Keep up with your skin care routine

 

Winter is not kind to the skin at all.

During this time, the skin is prone to dry out more often because of the weather and having a consistent skincare routine definitely helps me keep my skin healthy.

Keeping up with your skincare routine will allow you to unwind the stress and chaos that sometimes comes with the holiday season.

This is the time you take for yourself and as a bonus your skin will be glowing.

Winter, with its chill, brings an abundance of cosiness and joy. It's a season to nurture our spirits with self-love and connection.
