A New Year Doesn’t Require You to Burn Yourself Out.

While the start of a new year is an exciting time to reflect on the previous year and set goals for the year ahead, it does not mean you must drastically change your life as soon as the clock hits 12:00 am on January 1st.

Many of us overwhelm ourselves with setting a list of goals like exercising more, eating healthier, trying new hobbies, etc. While these are great goals and intentions, it can set us up for failure when we try to change so many things at the same time. Not only are we overwhelmed with all of these changes, but if we aren’t able to stick to them we can fall into a very tough cycle of guilt, shame, and disappointment in ourselves. This can greatly impact our mindset and mental health.

To be realistic, we must realize that winter just began. Days are much shorter. Many of us are not getting enough sunlight. We are grieving loved ones who weren’t around for the holidays. Some of us have been hosting, traveling, taking care of kids who are out of their normal routine for winter break, and dealing with everyday life stressors on top of that.

Winter is a time where life slows down. We find ourselves staying inside a lot more. The intrinsic nature of winter calls for us to rest, relax, and seek the things that bring us nourishment and comfort internally in contrast to the harsh environment outside.

Setting goals is great, but if you don’t feel called to drastically transform your life just because everyone else is, don’t feel bad about it. You don’t need a new year to set goals, and you don’t need to set new goals just because it’s a new year.

Who is here right now and how does it feel?

The people worth impressing: Your 5 year old self & your 85 year old self. 🦋💕

Paul Levy highlights in his book “Undreaming Wetiko: Breaking the Spell of the Nightmare Mind-Virus” that we inherit not only the physical bodies from our parents and ancestral lineage, but also their collective unconscious.

In this way we are able to see that when we repress our unconscious and refuse to do the inner work, this mind-virus (Wetiko) continues to infect and spread into our children and will continue on multiplying and amplifying until someone in the lineage breaks the chain.

The biggest way to stop the spread of the mind-virus is to acknowledge its existence and bring awareness into our conscious reality. Once we know this is playing out, we are then able to take actionable steps toward dispelling it.
