Embracing the Pause at Year-End

Entering a new year can often lead to a rush towards goals and objectives without taking a moment to reflect. It is suggested that January serves as an opportunity for calm contemplation, allowing individuals to spread out their reflection and planning over the month rather than cramming it into the week between Christmas and New Year. This approach encourages a mindset that acknowledges the importance of rest and inner reflection before embarking on future endeavors. By embracing this gentle transition, individuals can cultivate a more intentional and less hurried approach to the upcoming year.
