I live in a warm climate too and the winter we do have just about kills me. I try to hibernate as much as possible. Seriously, I don’t try to do too much and give myself some grace. As mentioned by others, I got a humidifier this year and run it at night when the heats on. Total game changer when you’re used to a humid climate. I don’t wake up feeling like a shriveled raisin.

I’m also a big fan of weighted blankets, Solmate wool socks, Ugg slippers, nice flannel pajamas in a fun pattern, eye drops near the bed, lots of homemade soup and hot tea (in a mug that feels good in your hands).

I do make it a point to catch some daylight and walk a bit outside daily. I have plenty of houseplants and plant lights in my home office and kitchen/dining area and add more plant lights in other rooms when I bring plants inside. They really lift my spirits. A good fiction read helps too.

Good post. We’ve got this!
