Here are some themes I’m leaning into for the new year. 🌿 When it comes to pursuing a better future, there’s a rhythm of growth and rest (a rhythm we see exemplified in nature). There are times of learning and creativity and building and times to slow down, soak it up, and be restored. My goal is to more fully lean into both of those patterns. It’s easy to do those things on a surface level but they rarely result in real progress. We can “perform” growth or change without doing the gritty work that it requires. And we can practice culture’s version of “self care” that fails to really allow us to disconnect and find restorative rest. (Getting outside is one of the best ways to actually find that restoration.) I see this new year as an opportunity to take cues from our environment— to find a rhythm that works in truly creating transformation, personally and in the work we do. What about you? Any of these stand out as an area you want to lean more into? Or do you have a different focus for your year? I’d love to hear it! 💛⬇️
