✨ Hogmanay reflections ✨
As we stand on the edge of a new year, there can be so much quiet (or maybe not-so-quiet) pressure to decide who we’re going to become next. New resolutions. New rules. A “better” version of ourselves.😏
If that works for you, that’s beautiful.😘 But for me, it never really has.
Instead of trying to fix or overhaul myself, I’m choosing something gentler — setting intentions for how I want to be; The kind of person I want to show up as. The way I want to treat myself and others. The way I want to live in alignment with my values, not external expectations. Because real change, real peace, has to start on the inside. 🙏
And at the same time, I’m reminding myself — and maybe you too — that we are already enough, exactly as we are. We don’t need to constantly strive to be “better” to be worthy. We don’t need to erase who we’ve been to honour who we are becoming.
As the year turns, maybe instead of pushing ourselves forward, we pause and acknowledge what we’ve already carried. The moments we coped when it felt impossible. The times we broke, and still found a way to rebuild. The ways we adapted, survived, and kept going — even when we didn’t think we could. 😊
We’re all shaped by what life throws at us — even when we don’t see it at the time. And while it doesn’t always feel like it in the moment, those experiences can quietly make us stronger, wiser, and more empowered. Perhaps this year isn’t about armouring ourselves further, but about softening where we can. Creating gentler openings. Living with more honesty, compassion, and space to breathe. 💜
You’ve endured more than you realise. You made it here. 🧡
As we step into another year, may we do so with arms a little wider — towards ourselves and each other — seeing and accepting the full, imperfect, beautiful truth of who we are.🥰
Happy New Year Beautiful people 🤍🥰😉💜
