In winter, shorter days mean we get less daylight.
This causes our body to produce more of the “sleep hormone” melatonin, which can make us feel more tired and low in energy. It’s the body’s natural way of encouraging us to slow down, rest more, and save energy to cope with the cold.
Feeling less motivated or more fatigued at this time of year isn’t laziness — it’s biology. Slowing down in winter is something our bodies are designed to do.

The “January blues” aren’t just a feeling, they’re rooted in psychology. Reduced sunlight affects serotonin levels, disrupted routines impact motivation, and post-holiday contrast can lower mood. Small, consistent actions help regular sleep, movement, connection, and realistic goals. You don’t need a new version of yourself in January, just support for the one you already are.
Short & relatable
Less pressure, more compassion. One day at a time 🤍

We are already approaching the halfway mark of January 2026! Here’s a little statistic about New Year’s resolutions: by this point, most people have already caved in. And hey, remember I said most. So, if that’s you, believe me, you’re not alone.

From a psychological perspective, research suggests that avoidance-oriented goals; such as “I’m cutting out sweets” are more likely to fail. That’s because these goals focus on what we’re trying to avoid rather than what we’re trying to achieve.

Now compare that with an action-oriented goal:
“I’m going to eat a healthier diet by learning about and adding nutritious foods that improve my blood sugar levels and increase my energy. This means learning about whole foods and doing some meal prep.”

This type of goal is statistically far more successful. Instead of simply talking about change or relying on willpower alone, action-oriented goals prompt you to take immediate, practical steps. They move you into action and help initiate real, sustainable change from the outset.

Perspectives and emotional filters.

My daughter and I are huge Stranger Things fans, the kind who debate theories, and plan life around release dates. So, when the final season dropped over Christmas, it basically became our holiday soundtrack.

What really amused us, though, came after the credits rolled. While chatting about the ending with a fellow superfan, we realised something unexpected: we had completely different interpretations of how it all wrapped up. Same show. Same ending. Totally different takeaways.

It was a perfect reminder that stories don’t end when the screen goes dark — they keep living in our minds, shaped by our own experiences, perspectives, and emotional filters. And that’s the magic, isn’t it?

It would be fascinating to revisit that ending again down the line and see if time changes how we see it. After all, great stories evolve… especially the ones that pull us into the Upside Down. 😉

Happy new year 🥂

Ho, ho, ho — ’tis the season! A time filled with sparkle and celebration, but also one where, for many and for very different reasons, stress levels can rise, sometimes feeling more like a roller coaster than a sleigh ride.
Here’s a little holiday magic you can use anytime: pause, take a breath, centre yourself, and smile. Smiling triggers a natural physiological response in the brain, encouraging the release of feel-good endorphins like serotonin. It’s a simple, instant way to lift your mood and bring a little extra cheer to even the busiest moments.
After all, a smile is one of the easiest gifts you can give — to yourself and to others. ✨🎅
