Well here we are, the traditional day to take down the Christmas Tree and finally say goodbye to the baubles and bling of the festive season for another year. For some of us it’s a sweet sorrow to put all of that promise away into storage, and some of us couldn’t care less.

However you feel about it all, today does mark the day when all of those thoughts of what you want to get done this year start really taking shape. The promises we made to ourselves back in those heady days of December are coming home to roost.

It’s okay to feel a little overwhelmed, or even a bit guilty about the Christmas excesses. Remember, what’s done is done, and January is the time to put those thoughts to bed, and to dream a little, with an added splash of Capricorn practicality.

For example: if you think that you ate or drank too much- rejoice in how delicious it all was, and thank yourself for relishing all of that abundance. Think of how much fun you had, and mentally list all the benefits. Then notice what that thought brings up: are you beating yourself up over the calories, or the cost, or even due to some self imposed rule that doesn’t really serve you anyway?

When we acknowledge we only ever do things for a reason, and we always live to our highest values, then we can shed of those negative feelings and know we are living true. So sit with that for a moment, and notice if the negative thoughts vanish.

If they don’t, it’s your internal compass giving you a nudge, and telling you that now is the time to make a shift, that you are upholding a value that no longer serves you, and (yippee) there’s work to be done. And (double yippee) we have a strategy for you.

So this week we would love you to have a good look at what comes up for you as you take the tree down, and listen to the podcast where we dive in on what to do next... (magical, exciting times await).
