This is your reminder that practically all living creatures slow down in the winter. There's less sunlight, less available food, and it's colder. It's written into our DNA to do less, sleep more, save our energy, and prioritize warmth and comfort. The idea that winter is the ideal time for new goals and strenuous exercise routines is absurd and driven by capitalism. Winter is for cuddling up under a warm blanket, basking in the aftermath of our holiday feasting, drinking warm drinks, and resting.

Give yourself permission to spend the winter the same way the rest of nature does. Rest, eat, stay warm, and wait for the natural unfurling that comes with the spring sunshine.
