I’ve been really feeling this transition myself, I think it’s only today that my cogs have started to turn again, I’ve had zero energy for the past week, so going gentle on myself.

It’s such a strange lull after Christmas where the world expects you to be “back on it” but your body and mind haven’t caught up yet.

I see so many people quietly judging themselves in January:
“I should be more motivated.”
“I should be over this by now.”
“Everyone else seems fine.”

But January often isn’t about fresh starts.
It’s about coming back to yourself after weeks of holding it all together.

Low energy doesn’t mean you’re lazy.
Struggle doesn’t mean you’ve undone progress.
And needing time doesn’t mean you’re failing.

If you’re moving slowly right now, there may be a very good reason.

Be kind to yourself today 🤍

So many people I work with arrive already apologising.
For needing help.
For taking up space.
For not being “bad enough.”
“Sorry if I’m wasting your time”

If you learned to cope by minimising your needs, asking for support can feel like doing something wrong.

But your pain doesn’t need to compete.
Your worth isn’t unlocked by severity.

You’re allowed to need help, even if you’re functioning, smiling, or ‘doing okay on the outside’.

Sometimes healing begins when we stop trying to justify why we’re here ❤️

This time between Christmas and New Year has a real pull to it. I feel it too.

It can feel like a threshold, as if something must end so something else can begin.

But there isn’t really a beginning or an ending here.
Time keeps moving. We keep moving.

The idea that everything must reset on a certain date is a human one.
Years, calendars, fresh starts, they’re useful, but they’re not laws of nature.

If you’re already working on things, your relationship with food, your self-worth, your boundaries, your nervous system, this is often the moment you feel the pull towards something new.
A new diet.
A new routine.
A sharper, stricter version of yourself.

What if this year was quieter?

What if you stayed grounded.
Kept going.
Chose gentle reflection over frantic reinvention.

Small, achievable intentions.
Nothing chaotic.
Nothing punishing.

No “new year, new me” required.

Just you….continuing.

A little quiet rebellion against the New Year New You! ❤️

Day 24 - Coming Home to Yourself

December can be a tender month.
The pressure to be everything for everyone, to eat “perfectly,” to feel cheerful, to look a certain way, to ignore the grief or stress beneath the surface, it’s a lot for one nervous system.

This series is your gentle pause each day.
A breath.
A reminder that you’re allowed to move through this season at your pace.

Take what lands today.
Leave what doesn’t.
And let this tiny moment be proof that you’re worthy of care…exactly as you are.

I’m glad you’re here. 💛

Don’t forget to be kind to yourself today.
Merry Christmas from me ❤️❤️
