Hello there,

The end of January is near and I'm wondering how this month has gone for you? Did you set out wanting to make any changes, large or small? Or did you just want to hunker down and simply get through it?

The dark nights can feel hard and I know I crave light and warmth to lift my mood. It can feel like a big old slog, for sure. I try to make a list of things that keep me positive and motivated.

Here are some of the ways that I've lifted myself out of the January funk...

Making sure my morning Sacred Roots drink is prepped and good to go first thing. What's your go-to morning boost? Prep it and it makes all the difference.

I have a pot of Sweet Sleep by my bed which means I use it religiously 20 mins before sleep. Consistency is key.

Doing the same things each day makes me feel good. I have the same morning drink, in the garden every morning. I always have a mug of Inner Wisdom around 3pm to pick me up and I have a hot bath using Sweet Little Detox most evenings around 8pm. For me, this structure and consistency is nurturing.

I suspect there's a lot of phone use in January - more than any other month perhaps? Social media scrolling is a big no-no for me after 8pm. I put my phone on the side downstairs so I'm not tempted and make sure I have a good book to lose myself in.

It's around about now that I start to plan the odd happy thing to look forward to in the months ahead. It might be meeting up with a friend having a massage or learning something new but it's usually a small thing that makes me smile

What are your January survival tips? I'd love to know!

Take care,
