where i live is cold and snowy. even in march.
get a good (not necessarily expensive) jacket and good (not necessarily expensive) boots. once your equipment is right, you can experience the cold in comfort.
take walks when its snowing or just after. appreciate the way all sound is dampened. set yourself little tasks, birdwatching or walking to get coffee.
at the end of your venture, appreciate the comfort of finally coming in out of the cold, how much more inviting your space feels and the sensation in the flush of your face.

having a winter activity to look forward to like skiing has done tremendous good to my livelihood in the winter. But this was, and continues to be however financially and logistically inaccessible for a lot of people.
The default way through it is through collective communal gathering and bathe in fatigue. While it’s nurturing, how can you get the jitters out living in a city when the weather can be so alienating ?

every year I dread this season but wind up finding joy and feeling energized by embracing the snow and cold. A few years ago I visited Lake Placid NY, a town that revolves around winter sports (and still has these amazing relics standing from the 1980 Winter Olympics). skiing, ice skating, sledding, hiking in the snow, or layering up and going on walks help get through the shorter and darker days. It’s kind of amazing that rain turns into layers and layers of pure white, dampening sound and temporarily covering all the intricacies of the world. It’s so quiet out there. And when you come back inside you appreciate your warm lil corner of the world even more.

create without the thought it is “for” something. let the project be whatever it wants to be, and recognize you are bringing it to fruition because something vital within you is actualized in doing so.
when you create independent of outcome, the sense of pressure dissipates and there’s more room for originality and enjoyment.
