Happy New Year
January 06, 2024
Happy New Year! Here we come 2024!
Is the year 2024 ready for you? Are you ready for it?
Are you a resolution sort of person, or are you of the mindset I'll make small improvements.
My current mindset is that I am a work in progress.
Kindness Goes A Long Way
- I have discovered that acknowledging the fact that I am a work in progress allows me to grow more fully and beautifully in my walk with my family, friends and God.
- Kindness and empathy goes a long way.
- Being gentle with ourselves gives us the opportunity to see opportunities.
Laughter
I am really working on laughing more.
I don't have a great sense of humor, so I am striving to laugh more, you really can teach an old dog new tricks!
Laughing outloud actually disarms our central nervous system (laugh lines might just prove to be well worth it.
Laughing actually increases oxygen to our bodies-getting rid of brain fog!
"Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon?
Great food, no atmosphere!" 😁
Self Care
Incorporating quality into our lives. Quality food, rest, entertainment and people are all restorative practices.
Practice doing one nice thing for yourself a day, something that allows ourelves to reconnect with ourselves.
Here a just a few suggestions. We know ourselves better than anyone and if we don't lets rediscover who are we!
Give ourselves permission to reconnect to ourselves.
Reading.
Writing.
Walking.
Crafting.
Painting.
Jogging.
Cooking.
Wishing you a peaceful New Year surrounded with goodness and hope.

I love this! I too, am trying to do the things you’ve suggested!! Happy New to us all!
ReplyDeleteIt's all lovely, Jemma. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGreat advice - definitely a work in progress here. Sometimes it feels like one step forward and two steps back. I also found that when you go through those self-care tips you have offered here and give yourself some grace, the steps forward eventually outweigh the steps back. Happy New year.
