New year, same you! 🤩

advice new year Dec 27, 2022

It's almost 2023, so like most people, you're probably receiving a flood of messages along the lines of "NEW YEAR NEW YOU!"

So...hi! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I'm here to remind you that:

You don't have to change.

You don't have to be a new person to be worthy of love.

📣 Habit changes don't have a moral bearing on whether or not you deserve happiness. (Read that one again)

And also...

It's ok if a fresh planner inspires new hope, creativity, and curiosity for you. (Honestly, me too!)

If you enjoy setting intentions for the new year, go for it!

But I've got a big invite for you to go about this in a different way:

❌ Instead of a deficit approach, in other words, starting from "where am I failing," try this -

What are small ways that I can start to better nourish myself?

💃🏻 If you want to integrate more movement into your life, let it be because it feels nourishing.

🫧 If you want to find new ways to organize your schedule, let it be to reduce your mental load.

😻 If you want to carve out time for building new professional connections, let it be to create nourishing friendships with those who share your values.

 

tl;dr no more shoulds in your resolutions, my friend.

 
You've got this.
