🦆🦆🦆I’ve never been a big believer that January is for resolutions, reinvention, or suddenly becoming a brand-new version of yourself.
January isn’t for pushing.
January is for resting. Resetting. Hibernating.
If you’re peri-menopausal or post-menopausal, December alone can feel like a marathon. The hormone fluctuations, the pressure to be “fine”, smiling through it, showing up when all you really want to do is run away and hide under a blanket… maybe even having a quiet cry in the toilet because it’s all just a bit too much.
So here’s your permission slip, gorgeous ladies ❤️
January is your time!
Remember nature doesn’t wake up and start blooming in January, animals are still hibernating, trees are still dormant, the earth is still resting. And we are nature too.
January is for:
🦆 reading that book you never got to
🦆 slow coffees and real conversations
🦆 reconnecting with friends
🦆reconnecting with yourself
🦆 cosy blankets, early nights, gentle days
The new beginnings?
They come when the evenings stretch, when spring appears on the horizon, when there’s a little more light, outside and inside.
So tonight, instead of setting big goals, maybe just ask:
✨ How can I be kinder to myself?
✨ What do I need more of and less of?
✨ How do I want to feel this year?
That’s more than enough for now.
Happy New Year, from one hibernating woman to another 🦆
Love,
Brenda💋
