We have officially moved through the first month of the "New Year" time where we set massive goals and resolutions, PHEW doesn't that pressure feel great to leave behind. If I am being totally honest New Years Goals stress me out, I am not saying that you shouldn't set goals, but they should be attainable goals.
Did you know the astrological New Year doesn't commence until the March solstice, crazy right? This is an energy I have leaned into since 2020, following the astrological New Year vs the buzz of January 1st being the pivotal time to make drastic changes and set huge goals for your year. I believe this is important because January, February and March we are in the coldest darkest depths of winter. If you look around, everything in nature is dormant, sleeping and not alive. I want to challenge why we think that we should be alive and pursuing goals in this time? Its completely backwards to what nature is saying we should be doing. These 3 months are not only the last 3 months of the astrological calendar, but also the most sacred time to be reflecting, nourishing and cultivating what's to come for the spring. What if you could take the pressure off of your New Year and spend time with yourself just existing. Sounds pretty great right?
As we move into February, I find myself reflecting on my first month of the "traditional" New Year, and I see how beautiful its been to just exist in presence. I encourage you to look inwards, to nourish yourself and to choose yourself right now over all the goals and societal norms. Allow inspiration to pour in and start to plant the seeds for the start of the New Year as we move towards the March Solstice New Year. Much love
xx Char
