Energy of Winter and How To Harness It

Winter is a time of dormancy. It's a time for rest, repair, and inner reflection. Darkness takes the lead in our earthly environment, and we are designed to sink into it.

You might notice a lesser appetite in Winter. That's because we have lesser reservoirs of Energy. 

The same goes for your Life this time of year. It's not intended to be packed to the gills with activities, productivity, and forward momentum. When the sun goes down, so should we. Less daylight, more rest.

This is why I've abandoned the need to set big, audacious goals for the new calendar year in the dead of Winter. Instead, I return to what I know nourishes me. It's from this space only that I can discern what's Next.

Otherwise, resolutions made or intentions set for 2025 are unanchored, vapid, and often dissolve as quickly as they come. 

Perhaps instead of signing up for a commitment to change or improve yourself this time of year, look at what you know you actually need in order to rest, repair, and reflect. What feels good to you?

It could be as simple as saying no to some things.
Or a good book,
More sleep,
A hike in the woods,
Journaling the highs and lows of 2024,
Indulging your 5 Senses (pleasing smells, tastes, sounds, sensations, aesthetics),
Choosing nutrient-rich foods

Technically, the energetic New Year turns over at the end of January. Still others feel the most supported time for personal rebirth or renewal aligns with the Spring Equinox.

There is no right or wrong. When the time comes to make some moves, you'll feel it from within. In the meantime, take your cues from Mother Nature and gift yourself all the time that you need to take really good care of yourself.

Remember, the barometer for knowing if you're in energetic alignment with what's for you and when is how good you feel!
