Hello January…….

Hello January, its great to see you…..

As we enter a sparkling, shiny New Year it can be easy to be swept away in the “New Year, New Me” mantra, making us feel….. well, as if the old us wasn’t good enough. Whatever your intentions are with this New Year, always begin with you.

As I have aged and matured over the years, I have realised that I don’t need to set resolutions at the beginning of a New Year and set myself up a whole action plan because society tells me too. I like to ease into January… I look at this month as a time of reflection, a time of nurture and rest. I find everything that bit slower in January as the weather is so bracing and dark, so I embrace these moments and take time to pamper myself, reflect over my past year and rest.

For me, gratitude journaling and meditation are very important. As is my love of manifesting, but hey… you do you. Bottling up my thoughts, feelings and emotions only leads to  unrest and ill health with me so I prefer to write it all down and release my feelings. I am also learning to lean more into gratitude, and thinking about what I am truly truly grateful for and why.

I truly believe that what we put out into the universe we get back and having had a very turbulent –  bordering on traumatic – year last year, I know I have a year of change and adventure ahead of me. For that, I need a clear mindset, a healthy body and to be more rested to gain a sense of clarity over things to come.

With all that said, I hope that you get the chance to take some time for you, not just a quick 15 minutes in the bath whilst the kids, husband and dogs are banging at the door for your attention, but to carve out some time each week to really sit and be at one with yourself, learning to love yourself and discover what you need to do to be really happy in this life.

After all, we get only one, and these years seem to be moving fast…

Looking forward to creating more content for you this year, thank you for all your love and support, Happy New Year.

Love, Sharon xx
