New Year, New You…?

❀ YOU WILL BLOOM ❀
…but not right now, not in January.

“New year, new you” feeling a bit forced? All the ideas for growth and action but feeling like you want to retreat, move inwards, maybe backwards? Totally normal, as our calendar is not in line with the seasons.

Right now we are still in Winter, swimming around in the Water element; a baby in the womb, raindrops moistening roots. This is a time for introspection, rest, creation. An embrace of Yin, moving in the shadows, nourishing the soil, feeling soft, fluid, deep and dark.

Come Spring you will transform into Wood - bursting forth bright, loud, tenacious, and moving with intent. Your ideas from the Winter will take form in the Spring - new year* (*Element Cycle), new you! Embracing Yang, you will WANT to do all the things & make all the changes, grow, expand, move!

But… that’s not til March. You’ll feel it, I’m sure.

So for now, just go with the flow. Think of yourself as a bud waiting to bloom. Sleep, eat, breathe, hydrate, keep warm, get sunshine on your body when you can. Spread and strengthen your roots and dream about all the colours you could be 🌱🌸🌷🍄🌺🌼🌹🪷🌻
