I don't know about you, but by early March, winter can start to feel like it’s overstayed its welcome. I love watching the snow and feeling all cozy inside during the holidays and the first couple months of the year, but by this point in time, I'm anxious for spring.
This is when it's good to remind yourself that the season of stillness still holds a quiet beauty that you can continue to savor while waiting for nature to wake back up—it's a season that invites us to slow down, reflect, and care for ourselves in meaningful ways.
Here are a few simple ways to embrace winter slow care:
❄️ Savor a seasonal ritual – Light a candle with your morning tea or coffee and take a deep breath before the day begins. 📖 Journal your way into spring – Use this time for reflection: What has winter taught you? What intentions do you want to carry into the spring season? 🛁 Nourish your senses – Warm baths, cozy blankets, and soul-soothing soups are simple ways to bring comfort to the last stretch of winter. 🌸 Plan for what’s next – Dream about what you’d love to experience this spring—whether it’s planting flowers, refreshing your space, or embracing a new mindset.
Wishing you warmth and presence in these final weeks of winter, Julie
