4 Ways To Reset This January

Amidst the celebration of a new year, it’s a good reminder that we're still in the heart of winter. The cooler months are all about rest, slowing down and embracing self-care to stay grounded during the hibernation season. There's no pressure to make drastic changes just because the calendar flipped. It's about discovering your own rhythm, especially after the relaxed festive period.

Maybe you're keen on setting intentions for the new year, or perhaps like me, it takes you a little longer find your new year flow. So, how do we get back to ourselves and reconnect with the present moment?

Embrace the Stillness

Winter invites us to take things slow and look inward. Enjoy the beauty of quiet moments – whether it's snuggling up with a good book by the fire, practicing morning meditation, or taking a winter walk.

Gentle Movement

In winter, gentle movement works wonders for your mind and body. Low-impact activities like Pilates and Yoga keep you active, enhance circulation, release tension, and maintain flexibility, all while respecting the season's need for rest.

Nourishing Nutrition

Choose seasonal, warming foods that support your well-being. Incorporate nourishing soups, herbal teas, and vibrant fruits and vegetables into your diet to support immunity.

Sleep, Glorious Sleep

Winter nights are made for winding down and enjoying a peaceful sleep. Indulge in a magnesium-rich bath before bedtime, and create a restful environment to encourage a good night’s sleep.

Self-care is an essential practice during winter to fill up your cup and better serve yourself and others better. Savour the slowness of the season, tune in to your needs with ease and practice self-compassion.
