The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Notes -
Scrap the synthetics in favor of more wool. Prefer thicker individual articles over layering - too many layers aren't good for blood flow. But having two is a good sweet spot for that air gap. Get some wool long johns and the thickest wool sweater and wool pants combo you can find. Make sure the sweater fits well and and closes snugly around the neck, wrists and hips.
Then just pour in hot tea until you reach a tolerable temperature.
Man I hate being cold.
But yeah, nothing beats physical activity.
