Looking for a quick way to help the winter blues leave for the season? Why not have a space that is created to help the process along? We all long for the days of sunshine and warm temperatures. Until then, create a warm and inviting space that fills the sunshine void.

It doesn’t have to be big. In fact, cozy spaces are better. A favorite corner of a room where you love the light coming in the window works great. Place a chair, beanbag, or even folded blankets in the space. Grab a small fabric bin to put some of your favorite things in. Things that you love. The newest novel you are reading, a puzzle book, or even your latest knitting project.

Keep things organized but handy to use in your new space. Electronic free is the way to go and spend at least 10 minutes a day utilizing this lovely space. Use the senses that electronics tend to turn off. Notice the touches of color in the space, feel the textures that have been added, smell the essential oil fragrance you chose. Be mindful when entering your space. Some deep breathing and intention of quiet the few minutes before you enter your space will feel quite tranquil.

Spend time in your space alone or with others that support your journey of just being present. Include your children in your quiet space. They can embrace the quiet time right along with you with their favorite quiet bin. If you use a playlist for music on your phone, turn it on before you put the phone away. Relax away the winter blues. Forget about the world, at least for the moments that you have set aside for this quiet, exceptional experience that you have created.
