2025 wishes for profound inner healing and kindness to self and others â¨ď¸
Before you jump straight in to telling yourself how to be better this yearâŚ
Before you look in the mirror and tell yourself how to look better this yearâŚ
Before you write down all the things you plan to do better this yearâŚ
Maybe take a moment to sit with the person you are right now. The one who has gotten you this far.
The one who has helped you over however many hurdles and shared with you so many successes.
Maybe take a minute to recognise all of the ways you are already so much better than you realised.
Recognise your strength,
your courage,
your kindness,
your resolve.
And hold on to that.
Donât discard the you that got you here.
Donât shame her,
guilt her,
doubt her.
But love her instead.
And maybe youâll realise
that - despite what you first thought -
there isnât quite as much âbetteringâ to be done
after all.
