❄️ This is not the time for resolutions ❄️
As the Gregorian calendar tells us that a 'new year' has begun, a gentle reminder that you do not have to change anything about yourself.
I read the message in the tweet shared below quite some time ago, and it has stuck with me since I read it – this is part of why nature connection is so important. We can remember that we are PART of nature, and we can start to let go of the pressures and expectations we place on ourselves, that we wouldn’t place on ‘nature’.
You are here, you are beautiful and you are strange – just as nature is, for we are all part of nature. You are already valid in your humanness and you don’t need to change or strive to be any different.
My invitation to you for this month...
Should you choose to accept it... Is to spend some time reflecting on what you already appreciate about yourself and what makes you strange and beautiful.
I have recorded a short free-writing/ journaling exercise, which includes some prompts or 'shuttles', which I have shared below.
The prompts are:
I am proud of my...
I admire my...
I like that I...
I find it helpful to set a timer for my writing, and then just free-write (which for me means writing faster than my inner critic can keep up with! so just keeping writing as it comes out). I tend to set a timer for 5 minutes but you could do more or less, whatever feels right for you.
I look forward to hearing how you get on, writing about your humanness ❤️🌿
