Welcome January and 2026
Like many friends, family and clients I was ready to say farewell to 2025 and to welcome in the New Year.
In my past, New Year would arrive in a whirlwind of social events, commitments, resolutions and general busyness! Not now. It could just be an age thing, (dare I say age related wisdom๐) or a gradual shift in mindset since becoming a reflexologist and delving deeper into the science of wellbeing, probably a combination. Now, I step very gently indeed into January.
December asks a lot of our physical, mental and emotional reserves. It is unrealistic and often counterproductive to expect a reset as soon as the new year begins. In January we are still wintering, working through the slow, dark part of natureโs cycle. A time to nourish, restore, reflect and review. Building reserves for the next season of activity and growth.
As you move through January be kind to yourself. Consider how you might create space for reflection, restoration and moments of quiet. Create opportunities to dream, plan and prepare. Make gentle, yet genuine, promises to yourself to let go of habits or things that no longer serve you, creating space to focus your attention and energy on those that bring positivity, growth and that truly feed your soul.
Sending warmest wishes to you in the hope that the year ahead is a happy, healthy and kind one for you and your loved ones.
