I love this. February always is the worst month for me, as well, and you described a lot of feelings similar to what I experience. As soon as signs of spring start appearing outside, I start feeling like an entirely different person.
Love this! Thank you for sharing all your small but powerful self care acts. It was just the boost I needed to remember that I am doing enough🫶🏼and your cat! So sweet!
I love this so much. First, your writing style is beautiful. Second, this is such a great list of things that are truly self care. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Here in the Adirondacks, winter manages to seize March as well so I'll be keeping these coping ideas in mind for the next few weeks! And now I'm really wanting some orange tulips!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this post. Fellow February-disliker here too. The audiobook you mention sounds like just the companion for today’s sort-the-house-out plans. Thank you 🌷
Loved reading about how you tackled February's blues and hardships, Elin! I'm glad you're feeling better <3 February also kicked me pretty hard and I'm still kind of coming out of it, but you're absolutely right: spring is coming and I'm also totally here for it - I'll definetely put some of your self care tips to practice to continue lifting my spirits, thanks for sharing them :)
🌷the BEST essay I’ve read this week. The calm, the intentional, the honest, and the window into your daily life!!
Ah thank you so much, Nicole, that's good to hear 🙏
Totally agree about February, it is one of my least favorite months as well. Your cat is so cute!! ♥️
Horrible month! He is a sweetheart indeed 😊
