Have you read the book 'Wintering' By Katherine May? It's a lovely reminder to slow down and rest and embrace your inner 'winter'. I read it after some family trauma this fall - my instinct is to go harder/faster with all the things and this was a beautiful reminder to do the opposite. Lots of sauna sessions with thoughtful books, going to bed early, cuddling my girls and dog, staring at the snow, staying in jammies far longer than I usually do. I love your reminder to take breaks from wearable devices, as a fitness 'nut' i'm pretty ride-or-die about my Oura stats, but I think a healthy break would be good for me. Thanks for the nudge.
Hi Melanie! So nice to connect. Yes, I have read it and I’m so glad it offered you comfort during a difficult season. It’s a classic ❤️✨❄️ Love to hear about your wintering practices and that you’re considering a wearable break from time to time. Wishing you much nourishment in the new year!
Thank you for sharing so many great resources!!
Such a crucial and often overlooked aspect of wellbeing. Thanks for the support!

For me, one of the perks of winter darkness is actually sleeping a bit longer. 😌
The sauna is something that I wanted to try more during the winter.
Absolutely! I think that’s a signal we should lean into during the longer, winter nights.
Sleep is quite fascinating...and the rhythmic cycles we rely on
Completely agree! Cycles, rhythms, seasons - it’s all connected 🌎❤️✨
