A little ironic, considering I live in a northern climate with 6 months of deepdarkwinter. Knowing this, I have to be a little more intentional about my mental health, and that’s what prompted this project. Last winter saw me at my lowest, and I realized I couldn’t let that happen again. So as it gets colder, I’m taking a shitload of Vitamin D (doctor’s orders!), have changed up a lot of my personal life, and am now making these digital collages. My hope is that these inspire you to get off your phone, because doing that makes a huge difference for me. When life becomes more about the small magical moments during the day, and less of it is spent scrolling…I find I do a lot better. I think this project may help me just as much as it helps you! Love, Your Fellow SAD Girl PS: I am not a mental health professional, and nothing affiliated with this project should be considered professional or medical advice. This project is intended to provide ideas for how to make winter a little nicer, so please keep your personal mental and physical condition in mind and use your best judgement when participating in a suggested activity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1635393990747-A9E0U285B45IYUEZUAEM/FUG10630-83.jpg About - Yes, but, who are you? Oh, right. I’m Jordan Bird: an INFP, Enneagram 9, and a Reflector in Human Design—if any of those mean anything to you. See also: Graphic & web designer. Writer. Magazine publisher. Do-er/lover of many other things that would be wildly impractical to list here. I live in Alaska with my husband and two dog children, and when I just can’t look at my computer screen anymore, I’m probably off baking sourdough, trying out yet another new hobby, or throwing a frisbee for one of the aforementioned dogs while chickens follow me around the yard. https://www.winterweathering.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-10-28 https://www.winterweathering.com/oops daily 0.75 2021-10-08 https://www.winterweathering.com/start-here daily 0.75 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1633744122079-1FOJCGEF1ZGTRIN7Q45K/WW-welcome-1.jpg Start Here! - Hi friend, you’re right on time! I’m so glad you made it. Winter Weathering is a series of prompts to help those of us who have a hard time during winter. Whether you experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD), depression, or simply need a boost from time to time: welcome. I hope these posts can be a light when things feel dark, and maybe prompt you to do something kind for yourself. Additionally, these ideas are intended to be accessible, so you won’t find anything like “Go start a new snow sport” that requires all new gear, etc. The intention is small activities that you can easily take part in without much extra time or money. We’re going for quick wins to boost that dopamine! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1635320503421-HM7Z5ZAHA8VETRKSMBMU/internet.gif Start Here! - Pictures on the internet CAN be a good thing, but if things are feeling particularly bleak they CANNOT replace vitamins/healthy lifestyle, therapy, or medication. If you need someone to give you permission to take a bigger step to care for yourself, this is your permission slip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1635320569691-3LFHGSFXP0ZIXT9IR3KX/library.gif Start Here! - Use these prompts as a jumping off point! “Buy a new book” doesn’t mean you HAVE to go spend money—maybe ask a friend if you can borrow a book, go to your local library, or find a Little Free Library near you. This is supposed to be fun, so do what you can with what you have! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1635320653896-G50EC8N5R1VNGCTWSJJK/depressed.gif Start Here! - If you are really struggling right now and feel like maybe you don’t want to be here with us anymore, please tell someone—I know it sucks, but please tell someone. You are not alone, and there are more of us than you may think. If you don’t have anyone in your life to talk to, you can text Hello to 741741 in the US or UK (or 686868 in Canada) to chat with a counselor at Crisis Text Line. Or call 988 for the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. https://www.winterweathering.com/prompts daily 1.0 2021-10-09 https://www.winterweathering.com/prompts/1-welcome2 monthly 0.5 2021-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1633740800432-HN0HQ50T1HZ9XXECGW0C/WW-welcome-1.jpg Prompts - 1 https://www.winterweathering.com/prompts/6-watchharrypotter monthly 0.5 2021-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1635389601622-K64M8IDKJFM3RIDH15D1/WW-HarryPotter-6.jpg Prompts - 6 https://www.winterweathering.com/prompts/4-readabook monthly 0.5 2021-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1633745479182-DBT0GQZZAEWNYGN3GV7F/WW-readabook-4.jpg Prompts - 4 https://www.winterweathering.com/prompts/7-visitagreenhouse monthly 0.5 2021-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1635389543265-A082QGKD5H24A1P8DAEJ/WW-visitagreenhouse-7.jpg Prompts - 7 https://www.winterweathering.com/prompts/8-makesoup monthly 0.5 2021-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1635389392409-FXBRX9GQ5WHX205LNHAH/WW-makesoup-8.jpg Prompts - 8 https://www.winterweathering.com/prompts/2-makecookies monthly 0.5 2021-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1633744669805-0X37DLDYEG909IVMYFQU/WW-makecookies-2.jpg Prompts - 2 https://www.winterweathering.com/prompts/5-buyplant monthly 0.5 2021-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/1633745844559-SY1XH4EDUO4T78WCSKNW/WW-buyaplant-5.jpg Prompts - 5 https://www.winterweathering.com/prompts/3-stareataflame monthly 0.5 2022-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615faf0001622c7be27502e6/07aed98d-734d-4e08-b3fd-b5cb560dc0ca/WW-stareataflame-3.jpg Prompts - 3
