BBRRRRR Hello Community surprise Oh yes Rumple is a bit cold. But I am here!! So how is everyone's day going? Yes I know, it is what it is....and that is okheart So did you know it gave us our first snow here in Coloradosurprisesurprise It said it was going to snow/rain and not add up. Oh well as we already been in the snow kids,dogs AND ferrets. Oh yes ferrets love the snow as well.

I do understand that the Winter Season can be triggering for many out there. Moods change, mental health gets words, physical health issues may rise and so on. Hugs to each one of you that face thisheart Mindfulness though can play an important role for anyone who wants to try and change how things go in this time of year. But HOW Rumple? First take a deep breath and know this too will be okheartheart

So here are a few mindfulness skills that you can try now-YES try now and prepare yourself for when you get snow if you have not already:

1. If youre in an area where ponds freeze over, go watch a pick up hockey game. Listen to the sound of skates on the ice. Follow just the puck, or pick a skater and watch just them.

2. Play in the snow! Feel a snowball as it forms in your hand. One-mindfully have a snowball fight with your kids or friends or even your dog

3. Get a hot chocolate and dip it slowly, noticing the warmth. See how long you can track the heat as it cascades down your throat.

4. Try a snowflake themed meditation. Picture them falling all around you, landing on you. Try and imagine different crystal shapes. Watch them melt on your palm.

@RumpleSteeleSkin Hello Rumple! Brrrrr yes it certainly is getting colder :P

I'm definitely going to try that mindfulness exercise, drinking the hot chocolate and observing the senses as I do.

Time to do all of these activities! ❤️

@RumpleSteeleSkin I try to make sure to eat foods that make me feel warm inside and dress appropriately so I am warm enough. Then being mindful is the same as in any season.

@RumpleSteeleSkin

awwww Rumple, you brought back memories. I remember the ice skating, I loved it and after skating hot chocolate yesss.

X-mas time was always kind of hard for me, seeing people going to the x-mas market together, families celebrating. Here we do not have snow, Santa is coming with on a skate board on the blue sea and the blue sky with a goldyellow sun. I don't miss the snow to be honest and I also decided why should I miss out the things i like about this time. So every year I give myself a x-mas shopping tour (not necessarily shopping but mingling with others) so i combat the trigger of feeling cut out.

@amiablePeace77

HI Peacesmileyoh yes love the hot chocolate my folks bring out and that big bag of marshmellows too. aaww I am really glad to hear that you help yourself feel in the moment by "joining in" what others are doing. That is being mindful of you and moods too. Well I hope this year you find something a small tricket or something and get it. Hugsheart

@RumpleSteeleSkin

Originally coming from the UK and facing cold winters I can relate to this one! I quite like going to a warm cosy coffee shop especially ones with sofas and watching things outside... people walking in the cold wrapped up... just mindfully watching them go pass!

Great post and Colorado sounds beautiful! I've always wanted to go and it sounds like you're making the most of your cold weather there. Have you lived there all of your life?

Feeling better starts with a single message. Check out my profile and reviews.
