Are you the type who makes New Year’s resolutions? Or, are
you someone who picks a “word of the year” to guide you through the next 12
months? Or perhaps, you spend some time reflecting on the highlights/lowlights
of the year that passed. There are so many different ways to honour this time
on the calendar.
Truth be told, New Year’s has moved through different
seasons, months, and dates in the history of humankind, so if you don’t feel
the whole New Year’s vibe right now, and just want to wait for another date, or
even the spring, to honour the new year, that’s quite all right.
Just because the calendar says we’re in a new year, doesn’t
mean you have to overhaul your life. In fact, maybe it’s better to just let it
all rest. Instead of scrambling to come up with resolutions, or other ways to
change you life, why not just do nothing for now. We have 365 days to make
changes if we want, we don’t have to do it all RIGHT NOW! Happy 2026!
