Hello, creative souls, and welcome back to The Stress Less Pencil, your creative companion through the ebb and flow of life's seasons. I'm Lorena, here to brighten your day and warm your heart, even when it's cold and dark outside.
In the heart of winter, the chill in the air and the shorter days can sometimes dampen our spirits. But this season also brings a unique opportunity for introspection, coziness, and a different kind of creative expression.
Today, let's embrace the art of creating warmth and wellbeing from within. Your challenge is to create a personal oasis of comfort and joy. Start by setting the scene in your favorite space at home. Light a candle for a soft glow, play some gentle music, or wrap yourself in your favorite blanket.
Now, with this haven of warmth around you, grab a journal or sketchbook. Reflect on what wellbeing means to you during these colder months. What are the activities that nourish your soul? Is it reading, writing, drawing, or maybe something else?
Let your thoughts wander to the things that make you feel content and grounded. Jot them down, draw them, or simply meditate on them. This is your personal recipe for wellbeing – a reminder that even in the cold and darkness, you can create light and warmth from within.
Remember, as the Danish concept of 'hygge' teaches us, the simple things in life bring the greatest joy. It's about creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people around you.
Share your oasis of warmth and your thoughts on winter wellbeing with us on Instagram or Substack and let's spread the warmth and light together.
Next episode, we’ll explore how the quiet of winter can enhance our creativity in unexpected ways. Until then, I’m Lorena, sending you a cozy embrace through the airwaves.
