The social feeds are going to be FLOODED with "New Year, New Me" posts.
So brace yourselves.
Now for me. I like personal development. Growth is always a good thing.
Doing the inner work is a must, even if it makes you curl up in a corner and ugly cry while eating the left over cheeses and Christmas cake.
The thing is. We're creative folk. We do things differently. We are quick to help others out of a jam but we definitely neglect ourselves in that sense. So let's do something a little different in 2025.
Love ourselves more and know fully that we deserve ALL of the good things coming up.
We have this odd self image of ourselves that can stop us from making the necessary changes that'll move us closer to our ideal lives.
Yes it's okay to have bad days and I fully encourage you to sit with all of those emotions and work through them.
When you ignore them and try bottle them up inside. When they do come out, they come out with a vengeance and people who are caught in the crossfire get utterly demolished by it.
This is a little more of a serious musing inspired by another lovely human who I adore.
So let's go in to 2025 loving ourselves a little more than we did before and realise that it's all a beautiful journey of growth and self acceptance.
Dig deep, eve if it sucks and hurts and makes you want to give up, cause that's where the real change happens.
We just need to be consistent about it and also not forget to have fun as well. Go back to the things you did that set your soul on fire.
Read, write, paint, sing, play games, watch your favourite series and movies...EAT more cheese. Drink more amazing coffee...
You name it. If it makes you happy, do more of it and be ruthless to the things that suck the energy right out of you.

P.S. No squirrels were seen today. I think they know that I'm on to them...
