Hiya love and Happy New Year! I hope all is great with you. 2024 was lit, I really enjoyed the festive, Christmas holiday season and I’m looking forward to seeing what this year has in store. However, I can appreciate that not everyone shares my enthusiasm. I get the feeling many people are over the hype of New Year. Fed up of the discussions around resolutions and all the other traditions that come with new year. It can feel like same shit different year depending on what you have going on in your life. Allow me to offer another perspective…

Your time is precious

Let’s not get cynical about annual celebrations and traditions. Our time on earth is marked by the years we spend here; and the years are flying by quick and fast. We should be making them count with what we love in our lives; what we value and what we care about. At the end of the day it’s all on us to create the life we want and a life that we enjoy. New Years are a symbol of looking towards better days, fresh starts and new beginnings, even though you can start over at any time but, you know what I mean. The New Year is an opportunity to make adjustments from the previous year, keeping you on track to smashing your personal goals. Reflect on what you should stop, drop, continue or introduce.

All goals matter

No matter how big or small they are all goals matter. It could be simple as healing being a priority. I can testify to that myself. I’ve had a few years where I was so ill with a Lupus flare-up that all I could do was focus on getting and being there for my children. That’s it. That was the priority of the year for me because having good health is everything; and getting the flare-up under control would be a success for me. Once I did that, I had the energy for my next focus which was moving house and starting this blog. Now those have been tackled, I can set my sights to new goals while building on the previous years. Do you see where I’m going with this? Each year is like a building block of your life. What are you building?

Take the time to have a good think about what you want, what you care about, what you want to see in your life. This is the first step to getting clarity and a plan of action. Write them down.

NO SELF-BETRAYAL

Please don’t dumb yourself or your interests down just to fit into your social or familial circles. That is suppressing your energy and has more impact on your overall wellness and success than you think. Your people are your people but they aren’t you. You could indulge your interests of history or botany. That’s for you and not for them. Plus, when you align yourself with what’s truly for you it attracts the genuine, releases the rest and equals a more authentic lifestyle.
