77 Magical Ways to Raise Your Vibrations in Winter

How to raise your vibrations in winter


While spring is undoubtedly my favourite season of the year, there’s something magical about the colder months. I think it’s the mixture of Christmas spirit, hibernating inside in the warmth, lighting a candle and watching feel-good films, that makes it feel so special.

I also find this time of year, as we head towards Christmas, becoming an incredibly important time of year to support local shops and independent businesses – especially after the last 18 months. 

Before we get into today’s post about how to raise your vibrations in winter, let me share my love for Tailor Made Living.

Founder, Antonia, has been a friend of mine for many years from my old life as an interior stylist and writer, and it’s been such a joy to see her business blossom and evolve in the way it has. 

From homeware, to gifts, lifestyle products and fashion, Tailor Made Living has become a one-stop shop for that Mediterranean aesthetic, with a plethora of beautiful British brands on offer. 

As you can see from the candle, notebook, Shea butter lip balm and hot chocolate mug the TML team kindly sent over to kick-start my winter hibernation, everything is just…well, my style captured perfectly. 

So, without further ado, let’s get into How To Raise Your Vibrations in Winter, with 77 ideas for mind, body and soul.

  1. Practise your landscape photography on a crisp morning in the countryside
  2. Make your own mulled wine
  3. Bring all of your pillows, cushions and duvets and create a movie fort downstairs
  4. And speaking of movies, create a playlist marathon of all your favourite Christmas films and mark them off one-by-one
  5. Spend the afternoon in your local bookshop, grab a coffee and pick out some new reads
  6. Create a vision board from all those piled up magazines I know you have
  7. Deep clean the kitchen, including the fridge and kitchen cupboards – you’ll feel amazing afterwards
  8. Take care of all of your indoor plants, re-potting with fresh soil if necessary
  9. Go through your wardrobe and create new looks with forgotten pieces
  10. Give yourself an oracle reading (my favourite cards are the Rebecca Campbell deck)
  11. Journal on the question…who I do I want to become by spring?
  12. Build a gingerbread house and decorate with icing and sweets
  13. Charge your crystals under the energy of the winter moon
  14. Grab a new notebook and write a spring bucket list, ready for when the seasons change
  15. Light your favourite candle and let the scent fill the room
  16. Wrap yourself up nice and warm and listen to a guided meditation (you can access one in my free resources library here)
  17. Bake banana loaf and spread a delicious, iced cinnamon butter on top (recipe here)
  18. Choose new artwork for your home for the new season
  19. Soak your feet in warm water with a sprinkle of Epsom salts for a deep detox
  20. Choose a brand-new nail polish (I’m think a deep red or forest green) and treat yourself to an at-home pedicure
  21. Sage your house, open the windows and doors, and release old stagnant energy
  22. Host Friends-mas and tell each guest to bring one thing they LOVE to eat (my friends would expect nothing less than chicken kievs)
