We’ve heard it a million times…
“Plan your year strong!”
“What are your goals for 2025?”
“Is your Q1 revenue target mapped out yet?”
I used to force myself to set goals as soon as the new year hit, and I felt like crap doing it. Why?…It was dark. It was cold. The last thing I felt was motivated.
Then I read a few game-changing books, namely, Do Less, and Sacred Seasons, and I finally felt seen!
For thousands of years, the natural new year was marked by the Spring Equinox, a time to focus on rebirth and awakening. It is only when the Gregorian calendar system was created that this changed.
So, if you are feeling more like hibernating this time of year than planning…embrace it. It’s what we are meant to do. This is what it means to follow your intuition. Your body will thank you, and when it’s ready, you’ll know. ;)
