Welcoming in the new year has for years been more about conscious intentions and reflections than popping the champers (not that thats not fun!) Its partly about getting older and not loving the massive crowds and hangovers, but its more about taking a moment to reflect and reset, and honouring the year thats been and the year to come. If you’re a new parent, this has likely been one hell of a year, filled with challenges and immense emotion, of all kinds. Whether planned for, prayed for, surprised by or somewhere else on the parenting expectation scale, no doubt things havent gone exactly as planned. This is the new normal. More so than when we were just ‘me’ or ‘us’. Its hard to handle sometimes! Taking stock, resetting, reflecting, planning is all important, even if we are swayed from here to there in the months to come. It gives us a chance to go inward and better understand what happens and what we value out there. So whatever your night holds, whether its falling asleep at 8, partying until 3 or battling the bedtime routines as though its just another day, I urge you to take some time for self and do something special. 5 minutes…30 minutes…3 hours. Whatever you can spare. This is what I do on NYE once the fireworks have stopped popping. This year Im opening that up offering some space to do it as a group on the 5th. Feel free to get in touch if you would like to join us or need some ideas. So much love to you!
