2022 is here ❣️ I won’t say the classic ‘happy new year’ since I know a lot of your Christmas seasons (mine included after having to isolate & family being split - oh & almost getting stuck on a remote Scottish island 😹!) looked very different for perhaps another year running. However it’s my most serious hope that this entry brings you the uplift & difference of perception to life your mind & soul for a little. 💞 This time last year saw the release of the blog entry talking about how New Years resolutions are something I don’t believe in - as I wrote this sitting in my dressing gown ,(potentially scary -looking 😹) face mask while sipping on tea , there was a different theme in my mind & on my heart.. The start of the year always holds this air of pressure - pressure to be better ,do more ,make bigger plans ,make more money , dream bigger ,be more organised, look better.. you get the picture ! So let’s challenge that . Instead of external pressure, pressure, pressure, let’s try COMPASSION, CONNECTION & GRACE🙌🏼.Two of my fave humans & influential speakers on these topics are Mel Robbins & Brene Brown , who equally share their passion coupled with real research into it. What is the overall theme of these power words & principles though ? It’s GENUINENESS❣️ In the spirit of practicing a greater degree of authenticity , I have to admit I’ve changed the topic & consequentially the title of this post almost 10 times before realising that’s exactly what holds most of us back from showing beautiful raw parts of ourselves. Trying so hard to portray images of selves & push to meet unrealistic standards that aren’t personally our own❣️ Short & sweetly put - this year (& any length of time for that matter- is the right time to be more of ‘you’ by showing your unedited imperfectly beautiful self : self-compassion, putting energy into real connection & giving yourself the gift of grace when plans change & things may look different than you expected. When you start feeling that invisible society ‘pressure’ start trying to speak in your ear this season , CHANGE the conversation & reach out to the support people who love you for who you REALLY are❣️ Personally, that’s what I’m stepping into this season with the view of doing liberally ! Love& light always , Abs Xo NEXT SEASON : ‘What your inner child has to tell you ‘
