20 Fun Things to Do Alone in Cold Weather
Cold weather usually equates to cuddle weather, but it's also a great time to enjoy yourself. Take it as an opportunity to catch up on things you've been putting off or have been wanting to do. Every now and then, it's always nice to be able to have some time to yourself to recharge and relax, so try these 20 things ahead alone. You don't need company to have a good time!

- Take yourself to a movie: Even though it might feel uncomfortable at first, you may find yourself really appreciating the experience. Embrace it and enjoy it.
- Decorate your place: Whether it's for Fall or Winter, celebrate the season with DIY crafts or festive store-bought decorations. You'll totally feel the holiday spirit.
- Cozy up with a good book: Create the ideal reading area in your room with string lights and candles and get lost in a new read or old favorite.
- Enjoy the cold air: Bundle up and go for a run or a walk outdoors. The fresh air will feel invigorating.
- Take a solo trip: Embark on an adventure to see beautiful foliage or snowy landscapes. DIY a travel journal to document the fun!
- Begin a project: This could range from a bucket list to a personal blog. Think about what's still unchecked on your to-do list and set aside some time to finally tackle it.
- Volunteer: Pay it forward in a small or big way by helping out at a soup kitchen or making holiday cards for veterans. You never know how your efforts could benefit someone.
