Winter is my season of quiet and introspection. I find myself reflecting more on my life, reading more, and I also tend to write more. For me, it’s the best time of year to go within and get to know yourself a bit more.

Over the winter season, particularly as we say so long to this year that has been incredibly challenging, I encourage you to slow down during this hurried season. Become more conscious and aware that everything doesn’t have to be finished so soon. Pay attention to what’s going on around you in nature and notice to how much your body wants to mirror that.

Reflect on this year that is soon coming to an end. Acknowledge and celebrate where you’ve grown, what you’ve learned, how far you’ve come.

And of course, do all of this with kindness and grace. Be kind, gentle, and loving towards yourself. Remember, wherever you are right now in your life, you're doing a great job.
