5 easy ways to keep warm this winter

Self-care warm-up

Winter is a tough time of year for me. When I think about how my friends in places like Sweden and Germany will laugh at me for complaining about 12 degree Celsius weather, I almost feel selfish for discussing the subject. However, once the temperatures drop below 20 degrees, I can’t help but turn into a grouchy, whiny, frustrated person. So, before I fall into the pit of despair that cold weather brings, I think it’s a healthy move to focus on the positives of this time of year. I’ve put together some self-care tips to warm up this winter.

Here is my list of winter benefits after some searching:

Sleep, more specifically sleep next to someone

Sharing a bed with someone is much more enjoyable during the cold, dreary months. Gone are my single days, and I have never been more grateful to share a bed with a handsome man every night. As you can imagine, there is only one benefit to sharing a bed with a man during the hot summer months.

Trying to snuggle to sleep is a sticky, sweaty nightmare! With these cold days coming, I can’t wait to be close to him, if only to thaw my cold feet. As long as he doesn’t steal the blanket in the middle of the night, these winter nights are bliss.

More opportunities for sex and intimacy

What used to be a trip to the beach and a beer at the bar is now spent snuggling by the fire with a glass of wine. Romantic, right? When the cold keeps you from outdoor activities, think of it as an opportunity to curl up in bed.

Self-Love and Inquiry

Winter is a great time to get to know ourselves and to be still. It’s necessary to step away from the outside world once in a while and spend some quiet time alone to get back to ourselves. Our busy lifestyles mean we rarely get a chance to check in with ourselves and the things we care about. Winter is a great time to go inward and give ourselves some much-needed tender loving care. Taking a bath, getting a massage, journaling, reflecting on our dreams and aspirations, or even just being still are perfect experiences to give ourselves at this time of year.

Eat delicious food

My appetite seems to skyrocket in the winter, so nourishing myself with warm, delicious food during the winter is the ultimate in self-care. My reasoning for eating more during the colder months of the year is that I must burn off some extra calories with all the shivering I’m doing. Am I right?! Some people might think an increased appetite is a bad thing, but I see it as an excuse to stay home and make myself some delicious meals. I say, treat yourself!

Slow down

For me, slowing down in the winter means saying no to social activities, which I’m not really comfortable with. It means doing some light stretching or yoga, not hiking up a mountain. It’s important to find a healthy balance of yin and yang energy in my life, and winter is a very yin season for me. Yin energy is all about the feminine, and going deep into it heals the feminine parts of me that I may have neglected in the fast-paced masculine energy. We need to have a healthy balance in our lives, or our overall health and well-being will suffer.

Winter is the perfect time to plan a vacation abroad!

As you may or may not have noticed, I’m really digging the benefits of winter now – especially since I’m shivering from the cold wind and I’m running out of chocolate. Therefore, the best thing I can think of to do during these cold months is to escape!! Winter is the perfect time of year to go on a tropical vacation where a swim at the beach isn’t life-threatening. For years, I’ve done everything I could to vacation in Asia or Europe just to avoid waking up in a place where I can’t see my breath misting out of my mouth, it’s just so great.

I’ve almost forgotten what it’s like to be in weather like this, so I’m trying to comfort myself by writing this. With nothing else to do but hang in there, I think I’ll spend the rest of the winter by the fireplace, drinking wine, tying rope, and writing in my journal. If you think about it, that doesn’t sound like the worst way to spend two months? See you on the other side… who knows you might even Buy Naughty Bondage Restraints and Ropes This winter!
