❄Winter has a way of slowing everything down. The days are shorter, the nights feel longer, and sometimes our energy, motivation, and mood shift without us even realizing why. If you’ve been feeling a little heavier this season—tired, disconnected, or just not quite yourself—please know this: you’re not alone, and nothing is “wrong” with you.
This time of year asks us to be gentler with ourselves. It reminds us to pause, to listen, and to care for our bodies and minds in simple, meaningful ways. And the good news? Self-care doesn’t have to be expensive or overwhelming. Often, it’s found in the quiet, everyday moments.
Enjoy a few self care tips from us here at Truman:
✨Drink water—because hydration supports your body in more ways than we can see. Nourish yourself with foods that give you energy and help your immune system do its job. Take your medications as prescribed, honoring the care you’ve already committed to.
✨Let yourself rest. Resist the pressure to always be productive. Rest isn’t laziness—it’s necessary. Step outside when you can. Feel the fresh air in your lungs, notice the sounds around you, and reconnect with the world beyond your walls.
✨Go for a walk, even if it’s short. Movement can shift your mood, calm your mind, and help you sleep better. Take time to reflect—journal, pray, meditate, or simply sit with your thoughts. Moving your body, whether through dancing, cleaning, stretching, or exercising, can help release stagnant energy and lift your spirit.
✨Protect your peace by creating distance from relationships that drain or diminish you. And just as important—spend time with people who make you feel safe, valued, and understood. The ones who remind you that you’re loved exactly as you are.
If you’re reading this, let it be a reminder that you are valuable, important, and worthy of care—especially during the winter months. Small steps matter. Consistency matters. And you matter.
