I never set resolutions either because as soon as I do, I lose interest!

Lol! There's something about writing things down that releases them from you. That's why journaling is so powerful. You write it down and let it go.

I really appreciate this approach, Janine. To me it feels so nourishing to be in alignment with the seasons and the rhythms of the earth. Thank you for this.

Me too. Being in tune with the seasons and going with their natural flow feels calming in my body. Thanks for reading!

That's a good point, Tim. As a human created system, if you are tuned into that, I can see how that could be a useful time for a do-over. I still feel like big changes are best made slowly over time rather than all at once, regardless of the time of year. Happy New Year Tim!

This all makes sense and fits what I’ve seen too.

While I don’t make the resolutions, can see why they work for many people even still. There’s a clear ending and beginning, so they can see themselves as a different person in the new year. The calendar has its own energy, and we can tune into that, especially if we attuned to it for certain kinds of goal driven work in groups of like-minded people. That calendar energy can pull us with it.
