As the days grow shorter and colder, maintaining energy and emotional well-being can become more challenging.

Drawing on research into seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and her conversation with Suzy Reading, Klaudia Mitura explores why winter calls for a different approach to self-care.

Reading shares three essential practices from her seven-step winter self-care framework, offering practical ways to adapt to the season rather than expecting ourselves to function exactly as we do in summer.

Key takeaways:

  • Keep moving: Discover small ways to incorporate movement into colder days.
  • Seek daylight: Explore how natural light supports alertness, sleep, and well-being.
  • Find restorative comfort: Learn simple ways to soothe yourself without relying solely on familiar indulgences.
