❄ A Gentle Weather Check-In for Our 360social Family ❄
As many of you are already seeing — and others are about to feel — an intense wave of cold weather is moving through, even in areas that have already been dealing with heavy snow. We wanted to take a moment to check in and encourage everyone to move gently and mindfully over the next few days.
Cold air, icy conditions, and sudden temperature changes can be especially challenging for those living with COPD, bronchiectasis, NTM, and other lung conditions. If you’re able, try to stay warm, limit time outdoors, and make sure you have what you need close by — medications, oxygen supplies, warm layers, and anything that helps you feel steady and supported.
It’s also okay to slow things down. Rest when you need to. Cancel plans if it feels like too much. Choosing safety and comfort is not falling behind — it’s caring for yourself.
If you’re in an area being impacted, please know you’re not alone. We’re holding space for you, sending warmth your way, and hoping everyone stays safe as this weather moves through.
Feel free to check in below and let us know how you’re doing — or share any tips that help you get through colder days. 💙
Stay warm. Stay safe. We’re in this together.

I agree that choosing safety and comfort is caring for one’s self. It takes time for many individuals to learn how to practice better self care. Preventative measures are far better than dealing with curative measures.
