Around mid-November, the conversations change. Someone tells me they're leaving the house in the dark and getting home in the dark, and they can't remember the last time they properly saw daylight. Someone else says the diary is already full until January, and somehow none of it is anything they chose.
And then, almost in the same breath, they'll tell me about the first evening with the lamps on and a blanket. Or the song that came on in the car and made them turn it up (or down depending on the person!)
That's what I've learned about winter: lots of people love it, whereas others really struggle at this time.
You can look forward to the lights going up and still feel your energy dip at 4pm. You can love socialising and still dread being "on" for all of them. You can enjoy a tradition and quietly wonder why you're still doing three others that stopped feeling like yours years ago.
What doesn't help is the pressure to make it all magical, or another list of things you *should* be doing to feel better.
What does help, I've found, is smaller than that. A glimmer: a moment that lifts an ordinary Tuesday, or something in the calendar you're looking forward to because you want to go, not because you said yes out of habit. It doesn't have to be impressive, expensive or especially festive.
So I've created a workshop around exactly that.
In **Finding Your Winter Glimmers**, we'll spend a fun, practical evening working out how you want your winter to feel, and what would make that real for you. You'll leave with your own Winter Glimmer Plan for December, something enjoyable already in your diary, and a clearer sense of which plans and traditions matter to you (and which you're ready to put down before the new year).
You don't need to love Christmas, or celebrate it, to come. You just need to want a winter that feels a bit more like yours.
