As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisper, it’s time to re-frame winter. Instead of seeing the colder months as a time of hibernation or isolation, why not embrace the concept of wintering? Wintering is about surrendering to a slower pace—just as nature settles itself for the season, we can take this cue to rest, reflect, and recalibrate. It’s a time for self-care and creating space for deeper connections with those we love.
In the natural world, trees shed their leaves, and animals retreat into their dens, taking time to restore. Similarly, winter invites us to step away from the fast pace of daily life and slow down. It’s a moment to tune into ourselves, to create opportunities for rest, reflection, and renewal. This could look like…
Wintering Tips to Embrace the Season
- Wintering Tip #1: Appreciate ‘apricity’ – This charming old word refers to the gentle warmth of the sun in winter. Seek out moments to bask in this rare gift, letting the sun’s rays lift your spirits during the chillier days.
- Wintering Tip #2: Take a dip in a wood-fired hot tub — Whatever the weather, a soak in a wood-fired hot tub is pure bliss. Lookout Lodge offers a cosy covered outdoor area so you can embrace all winter brings—snowflakes falling while you unwind in the warmth.
- Wintering Tip #3: Switch gears and relax into having less to do — Winter invites us to slow down. Let go of the busy ‘to-do’ list and take the opportunity to reconnect with those around you, making time for meaningful moments and quality conversations.
- Wintering Tip #4: Notice Sunrise & Sunset – get outside (or at a window) at these times of the day, it helps set your circadian rhythm for good sleep and generally makes you feel more at one with the world!
