Who else is ready for the warm weather and the snow to disappear? I am! The "winter blues" anyone else feel like this?! I'm from Toronto, Canada so there's snow, it's super windy today, and freezing temperatures. trying hard to stick to a routine of going to bed a reasonable hour, drinking lots of water and taking a breaks from my phone; all things that we have been told will help us (I'm guilty of sometimes forgetting these important things). Here are some tips that help me get through these long winter months. Spring Candles.I love how candles can instantly up lift you, love anything coconut scented right now because it reminds of the sun. This candle is from Homesense, this brand has loads of different scents and love that it is a soy based candle. Self Care.Taking some to do face mask, jade rolling, and painting my nails gives me that time to take a break. Even when I was sick for most of last week, it was a great reminder and blessing to remind me to slow down and to not beat myself up about not being super productive. Gratitude.Gratitude interrupts anxiety, anger and our circumstances. It is a magnet for healing, growth and peace. I started out with a goal this year to write out a Gratitude journal about what I was grateful for when I woke up & at the end of the day in a blank notebook. I’d get down to the really minute things like a bird singing, pretty sunrise or someone’s laugh, that made me grateful. We’ll always put down shelter, family, health etc. but I challenge you to look for those detailed little blessings that occur each day. When I do this (especially on a bad day), it really turns my day around and that’s when I realized, not every day is good, but there is good in everyday! Get Some Fresh Air.I think you would be surprised by how much it helps. I think just getting away from your phone and internet is so helpful to kinda just rest, refocused, just give yourself that time to breath and come back to whatever you're doing. I personally pick and choose if I want to listen to music (LOVING Ariana Grande's thank u, next album) or not when I go on a walk because sometimes I just want quiet, listening to the sound of cars and nature and I get some of my best blog post ideas from these walks. Whatever you’re walking through, big or small, know that it will get better. There is always hope. I am lifting you up in prayer and sending you lots of love. I hope this post was helpful in anyway to you! xoxo
