Skiing is therapeutic. And so is exercise, sunshine, journaling, eating a healthy diet, sleeping well, being kind to yourself (and others), cutting down on social media, quitting a stressful job, working on a relationship, letting go of the past, forgiveness, and so on. It might not replace capital T Therapy. But it sure helps to do the basics. Sometimes we fall into the trap of the big/quick fixes in our lives when we should be focused on the little things we can control—our choices and our attitude — that can go a long way.
