How to discover your true self in winter

Is winter always about letting the cold waves trigger the darkness in one's heart? We say, no. Winter can also be an aspirational season filled with self-love, gratitude, restarts, healing and so much more. We spend our entire lives fighting the demons inside of our heads. We spend hours, days, and months trying to come to terms with our true selves. However, when the time comes to heal and move forward, we step back and lean on things or people who are not meant to be our companions. This journey is about our own selves. It is about finding peace within the boundaries of self-awareness.
