The start of the year is always interesting to me. I am unsure what is supposed to magically happen on the 1st of January which has eluded me for all of the previous year. It is however, my experience that I will not suddenly be blessed with more insight, self control or fortitude than I had the year before! Instead, it would seem that what I have on the 1st of January each year is the sum total of the steps I took in the previous year.
I read something this New Year which has changed how I feel about New Years Eve, it was, rather than staying up to see the old year out, a friend of mine instead went to bed early, said good bye to 2024 and got up early in order to se the first sunrise of 2025. This completely blew my mind. Imagine greeting the New Year, with a clear head and acceptance. I have taken this new learning into my my New Year.
I have stopped expecting a magical transformation and I have not written lists (well maybe a short one!) Instead I feel I am embracing the magic that a new sunrise brings and I am very much looking forward to the wonders of this New Year, all of it, not just the 1st of January.
So far it is shaping up alright.
I hope yours is too.
