New Activities to Try This Winter!

As the holiday season winds down and we enter the New Year, some folks can feel a bit stir crazy staying indoors with the colder months as winter continues! As blustery outside as it might be, winter can also be a good time to try some new activities (both indoors and outdoors, depending on weather conditions). So here are some ideas:

You may also notice that none of these activities specifically revolve around food. This was deliberate as for those who are working on their relationships to food and/or in recovery for an eating disordered/disordered eating, engaging more in activities that center around food may feel too challenging. If you’re at a place in your life where you feel comfortable exploring more activities around food, that’s fine! And if not, that’s fine too. Do any of these resonate with you?
