Like clockwork, a familiar feeling washes over me. Winter arrives and a season of introspection unfolds. Am I investing my energy in the right places? Are my habits enhancing my daily joy? Am I nourishing my body with kindness and care? Pen to paper, I race against the tide of my thoughts. In these dark, quiet mornings—my boys asleep, a warm coffee in hand—I welcome this inward shift.
For many of us, this time of year beckons a similar vibration: we’re called to look honestly at how we nurture our bodies, minds, and spirits. Naturally, the colder months invite us to recalibrate—to harvest our experiences, gather our thoughts, and cultivate simple nourishment.
6 Ways to Live a Nourished Life This Winter
But in the busyness of the holiday season, it’s easy to put self-care on the back burner. With your winter well-being in mind, these are a few of my favorite (practical!) ways to cultivate and live a nourished life.
1. Embrace Seasonal Produce for Sustained Energy
For sustained energy, the wintry months are ideal for embracing seasonal produce. Sweet potatoes, for example, are nature’s underground energy reserves. While there’s room at the table for both sweets and seasonal squash, prioritizing nutrient-dense foods is an act of gratitude—for your body and the earth.
Some seasonal recipes to try:
- Beet, Pomegranate and Hazelnut Salad
- Rigatoni With Brussels Sprouts, Kale Pesto, and Lemon
- Greek Lemon Chicken Soup
- Grapefruit and Avocado Salad with Golden Beets, Feta, & Crispy Chickpeas
- Erewhon’s Kale White Bean Salad
