The Best Time To Get Started With Your New Year's Resolutions
In the Northern Hemisphere we are facing Winter times. Nature around us is cold, withdrawn and the life-force energy is redirected to the roots where it's cultivated until Spring arrives.
If we take inspiration from nature, we would be doing the same. That could be seen as taking life in a slower pace, spending more time and energy for topics related to our inside world, putting less energy in the outside world. If you are interested, I have another blog post exploring this topic in a bit more depth.
However, the world around us is asking for New Year's Resolutions... Have you done yours? Which are your goals for 2025? Where do you see yourself? Which actions are you taking to make your life as best as it can be? etc.
I take a moment, a deep breath and recognize I don't have energy for that right now. My body is craving for slowness, for daydreaming, for more time to play with my imagination, to feel my emotions, to be in a state without external pressure so I can reflect about my previous year and feel where I want to be.
Slowly connecting with all these points, I can start envisioning something for when my energy is back. Little things I want to add to my routine, some small achievements, some big dreams. I let them "marinate" in cold winter deep within me, observing how it feels like.
Just like in nature, there will be the time when the energy of wood, of Spring, arrives, giving the kick for us to take action. It's then time to have our vision ready, the seeds ready, to start planting and seeing them grow - taking action, initiating things.
In which inner season are you right now? Are you able to tune in and recognize it? And once that's done, how easy it is for you to respect it?
Take it easy on you :)
Love yourself no matter which season you are in.
My support for you...
In moments when you are unable to connect with yourself to feel where you stand, bodywork sessions can be of great support.
The body is talking to us all the time, and the closer and more tuned you are, the easier it is to recognize its voice. If that is a theme for you, come for a session... let me support you through a thaiyoga or abdominal massage session.
Looking forward to supporting you!
With love,
Tarsi.
