I think of a picture that’s often shared in late December, of the old year ending & the new year beginning: it shows a withered old man & a new baby. The baby reflects fresh new beginnings & optimism. But also, of course the new baby has no answers or game plan for the new year..it’s a baby. I believe the wellness & influencer culture has fabricated the ideas of which you speak of, and they’re probably just trying to monetize them.
It’s refreshing to be reminded that stillness has value. Allowing the year to unfold without forcing conclusions gives the ordinary moments space to matter. Simply being present, noticing the subtle rhythms of life, can hold as much meaning as any plan or resolution.
