The first weeks of January carry a strange energy - part renewal, part pressure.  We feel both inspired and behind.  Everywhere we look, there’s talk of transformation:  “New year, new you.”  “Rewrite your story.”  “Upgrade everything.” But what if this year isn’t asking you to become someone new?  What if it’s asking you to remember who you already are?

We don’t always realize how much silent pressure we carry at year’s end.  -That inner voice whispering, You should’ve done more.

By December, most of us are carrying eleven months’ worth of energy, emotion, and effort.  -We’ve worked, cared, created, supported, juggled, and pushed through - all while telling ourselves we’ll rest later.
