Holiday Recap and Intentions for the New Year

Welcome to January! The end of the holidays can hit hard. Even when your holidays have been absolutely perfect, it can be challenging not to dread everything that awaits us in January. Whether it is taking down decorations, starting back on the work/school routine, saying goodbye to loved ones or even just facing those holiday bills – January is full of difficult tasks. We think for most people there is an inevitable sadness -- or perhaps cheerlessness is a better word - that permeates most people’s lives as January begins. It is so easy and tempting to shut the door on December and trudge forward with our heads down.

May we suggest a more nuanced approach? As January unfolds, spend some time thinking about your holiday(s). What were your high points? Replay those moments that brought you joy over and over as we traverse these long winter months. And then try welcoming January with a theme or some positive or fun intentions (definitely no resolutions or promises). Do not be afraid to do this slowly. There is no rush! All of 2025 stretches in front of us.

We hope you will join us as Tara and Tina do all these things as we ease our way out of the holidays and into 2025. We relive the high and low points of our holidays, talk about favorite things of 2024 and our intentions for 2025. We hope our discussion helps ease your transition away from the holidays and generates some gentle excitement for the upcoming year.
