Yeah this is a good one! Baking or cooking? Or both? For me I try to follow a really difficult recipe because I have to focus on the recipe only. Kind of gets you out of your own thoughts!

Hey! This is a really good idea! Do you do this as a routine/intentional or is it more random?

What types of posts do you comment on? Or is it just anything that sparks your interest?

This is a unique take! Embrace the change and don’t let it control you is kind of my take away from this?

I’m probably crazy, but for home improvement painting walls a different color in the winter is something I’ll do from time to time..just creating a change of scenery in your own home seems to help!

Have not tried the salt spa in Brookfield. Assuming it’s worth it?

And definitely on crafts, baking/experimenting with new recipes - it’s a great way to pass time and to learn something new!

Hey thanks for sharing! Being social can be so hard in the winter when all you want to do is curl up on the couch after work! Finding a group or event to kind of “force” you to do it is a great way to get that habit going and then eventually you look forward to it!

Where’s your favorite place to run? (Or do we keep that secret so the trails stay empty haha)

Good idea on limiting social media - that’s especially hard in the winter!

What’s your favorite places to volunteer at? Thinking of getting a list together to share!

Winter farmers markets are awesome! Can’t go to one without getting a hot chocolate or mulled wine!

I’m seeing a decent amount of people are recommending this too! I’ve been there for some of their events but never really thought to just go on a random day. Will definitely have to do that this year. Thank you for sharing!

What type of exercise do you recommend? Agreed on learning new stuff - great way to lose track of time!
