Fall: it’s always been the quintessential season to turn over a new leaf, make fresh starts, and ramp up our goals for the year ahead. In many ways, it’s the real new year.
But this year – well, let’s just say this year comes with its own special brew of expectations, hopes, dreams, and dare I say, a sprinkling of the unknown. No one truly knows where this is going, but if the past year has taught us anything, it’s that those tired old norms of yesteryear (as in, last year) are hopelessly out of date.
We’ve all lived through a vastly chaotic time in history, but the silver lining is indeed bright. Shift is happening everywhere you look. In all likelihood it’s making an imprint in your own life in ways that are just beginning to come into focus.
Cue the emphasis on,
· mental health
· inclusivity
· empathy
· kindness
· feeling good in your own skin
· prioritizing face time
· having a wiggle in your walk and a smile for those you meet
When the chips are down, these are the ingredients, we have learned through this long, dark winter, that matter. Rocking your favourite yoga pants just doesn’t have the same urgency it used to. It’s nice, sure, but in the grand scheme of things, it suddenly feels like small potatoes.
How did you shift this past year? What changes would you like to build on? We all have an unlimited capacity to grow, blossom, and evolve. Like the ripples in a pond, there’s no limit to where the tiniest shifts can take us.
We’re stronger together, folks, and my hope is that we begin right now by building a community of like-minded souls to inspire and support one another. Start with making a comment here! And stay tuned, because there will be lots of ways to get involved in the weeks ahead ❤️
