Looking to a New Year: moving toward strength, calm, focus

and away from feeling frazzled, distracted and always rushing

Happy New Year! I love a fresh start, and because life is too short to be hard on ourselves, I give myself many such moments in any given year - I count New Year’s, the Lunar New Year, the Spring Equinox, and the start of school in September as equal opportunity moments to start again. You’ve undoubtedly seen a fair number of “Away/Toward” posts in the last few days, and I’ll add my own here. I really like this “Away/Toward” post and used the download from The Moon Lists to make my own.

This year, I’m moving away from feeling frazzled, distracted, and rushing and toward strength, calm, focus, rest, and laughter, too. What are yours? ❤️
