My Winter Bucket List This Year

Happy winter solstice, my darlings! This is the day for manifesting everything you’re looking forward to in the new year and it’s also a great time to share My Winter Bucket List!

Since it’s a combo of post-Christmas, the new year, and the coldest months, it’s easy for me to admit that Winter is my least favorite season. As a new start, one of my biggest goals is to continue the motto that I started in June. This is “find happiness in common everyday things“.

Winter is repetitive in the PNW. It’s frigid and rainy. It’s hard to leave my apartment to go on a walk, and it’s even harder to start a new morning exercise routine indoors because my bed is so warm!

My Winter Bucket List

For this season, I’ve got some small goals that I will turn into big ones in the future. A lot of my winter bucket list is practice for bigger projects. You’ll see! Let’s get into it. 😊

Knit a beginner-level sweater – no matter how long it takes, and don’t give up!
Take an REI class or join one of their events
Run a 5k
Take down my Christmas tree by January 6th
Buy new herbal tea leaves for a soothing nighttime routine
Have an entire day blocked off for self-care
Plan my winter travel
Make english muffins from scratch
Try a new winter drink
