We're usually a little quicker with the New Year message and, it is always one of hope. This year we took a little time to put it up. The fact that you're here is in itself a positive, hopeful fact. You're being intentional and proactive so there it is not all that useful to reiterate it. Instead we shall focus on what is and what can be. We live in historic times. Things are changing everywhere and, unfortunately, this change creates uncertainty that fuels anxiety. Normal as this may be, it is also hard to live through. Things that used to be simple now appear to be harder to do. Just getting through the day can feel exhausting. And every time we try to contemplate the future at length we either end up getting depressed because it seems bleak or give up because it appears impossible to predict anything with any kind of certainty any more.
Certainly this is going to be a tough year. And the next two-three years are also going to be challenging but none of that is anything more for most of us than a perception. Because perception creates our reality however navigating this tough time requires a fresh approach: Make yourself the priority. Treat your life (and health) like it's your primary project. Protect your energy. Create space to hear yourself think. Treat yourself first with kindness and then extend that kindness to all others. Remember that everything is a journey and the journey is an adventure. Have as much fun as you can with what you do. That will make the year ahead a lot more enjoyable.
And, as always, we've got you!
