Personal "Wintering" Tips to Survive and Thrive after challenge or change

When life knocks us off our feet, we often try to bury our pain

"Keep calm and carry on" may have worked before, but sometimes it's not enough

If the effects are too much, consider "wintering" as a way to ADAPT

Do not feel pressured by others, or yourself, to keep going

Instead, stop and turn inward for REFLECTION

Be gentle with yourself

Sometimes, you need courage to let your hardest feelings surface

This is how healing begins

Like trees in winter, turn inward, conserve energy

and TRUST that renewal will come

  1. Mourn your loss, whether it is a relationship, a loved one, or a future that changed

  2. Metaphorically tend your wounds

  3. Take the chance to re-evaluate your life

PROTECT your energy with intentional resting

Even a few minutes of quiet can reset your nervous system and help you FEEL RENEWED

So if life feels stormy, remember: nature doesn’t bloom all year round - and neither should we!

Give yourself permission to PAUSE - to "winter", to gather strength
