Prompts for a Gentle New Year Reset.
This year I’m finding joy in tweaking little habits and building joy - brick by brick.
I wanted to share this as a reminder that you don’t need a big, scary New Year resolution to begin again. For me, gentle shifts feel far more achievable, and often more meaningful. I hope this inspires you to notice the small tweaks you can make in your own life to brighten your everyday.
MICRO-RITUALS.
Think of my intentions for the day when making my morning coffee. I recommend buying one (or several) special hand-made ceramic pieces as a gift to self. It makes every morning a treat. This one is from Emicorn Pottery.
Splurge on the 'nice' herbal tea (that is organic and plastic-free).
Candles at dinner time at least once per week.
Make reading the last thing I do every night, even just one page.
NOURISHMENT.
Quality inward - for mind and body.
No opening any work/social apps until after school drop.
Unsubscribe or unfollow news or accounts that aren't of value.
Fill the fridge and pantry with healthy snacking foods.
Plan regular nutrient-dense meals (and make the kids' version easy).
Still enjoy my favourite treats often!
MOVEMENT.
Move everyday - whether it's a walk, stretch or pilates session at home - just make it a treat, and let the kids join in if they want.
Tennis lessons - just for fun. I've never played before - wish me luck.
GROWTH.
Listen to educational and insighful podcasts and audio books.
Loan out giant art picture books from the local library. I currently have a Gauguin book on loan - pure goodness.
HAVEN.
Declutter, cull ruthlessly, donate to charity.
Rearrange artwork to different rooms to make a space feel new.
Print and display my favourite photos - so they don't just live on my phone.
Pick one stress-area/cupboard/drawer to reorganise.
I hope my little shifts inspire you to implement some small-but-beautiful changes in your everyday life. Happy new year friends, and thank you again for being here.
