We don't need new year resolutions - we need rest.

'So, perhaps January is not the time for reinvention, but radical rest. Winter is a time to follow nature, to create our own version of hibernation, listen to our bodies, and prepare slowly and quietly for the year to come. Slowing down is good for you, and can improve your productivity in the long run.'

  • January isn’t the time for reinvention for me and I don’t make New Year resolutions. At least now more people are aware of how harmful the practice can be as it is sets people up for failure which is often accompanied by guilt. 

    I relate to this:

    Living in tune with the seasons is a great way to stay grounded in the present moment, to listen to your body and to give it what it needs at the right time of year. Look at what the natural world is doing in each season; during winter, it rests, so take your inspiration from that.

    Spring has come very early to where I live these last few years, so rather than being in tune with the meteorological winter which ends on 28th February, I like to be present to the Celtic winter which ends on 31st January with the Celtic Spring Imbolc or Lá Fhéile Bríde (St Brigid’s Day in Ireland) beginning on the 1st February.
