Winter Months

June marks the second month of winter for us in the southern hemisphere, and by the rule of thumb, something most people don't look forward to. The middle of winter springs to mind cold weather, gloomy long days, and traffic backed up for miles in the dark (I'm looking at you Aucklanders). It is easy to fall into a routine lacking in spontaneity, and withdrawing from the world to live your best gremlin life. Whilst embracing the Danish cultural characteristic of "hygge" and generally feeling glum is one thing, it's extremely easy for people to fall into a more alarmingly despondent frame of mind.
