There’s a lot of pressure this time of year to treat January like a clean slate. We collectively have this overwhelming feeling to overhaul our lives, set big goals and sprint out of the gate toward them. This year I’ve decided that instead of getting swept up in the feverish pursuit to “better myself”, I’m reminding myself that this isn’t a starting line, it’s a restorative season.
I am still setting goals and looking forward to what I can accomplish this year, but right now I’m focused on aligning with nature’s rhythm instead of fighting it. For me, that means doing things that help me rest and reenergize like prioritizing sleep, regulating my nervous system, nourishing myself, taking on fewer commitments when I can and letting go of what feels draining.
Let this be your reminder that it’s okay to slow down and rest, even when everything around you is telling you to do the opposite.
