You have to keep your conscious wits about you right now at this time of year.



Let me explain why it’s particularly important right now. It’s a funny one, there are a few things usually going on.



You’ve (hopefully) taken some decent time off. Eaten all the food, drank all the wine or mocktails. Or just had a week or two outside of your usual routine so it just feels super difficult to get back into. Particularly if you also stopped doing the things that you know usually make you feel good.



You might be taking an extended break and you’re seeing people all over socials talking about goals and resolutions and going what appears to be ‘all in’, but you’re struggling to get your bottom off the sofa and allowing the guilt to take over.



Or maybe you’re TRYING to go ‘all in’ but you’re just not feeling it!



So what the fudge to do?!



Firstly, GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK!



I don’t necessarily mean literally, you’ve probably just had one or still having one…I mean mentally!



Stop beating yourself up for doing/not doing what you’ve decided you ‘should’.



I’m technically still off right now, until the middle of January. I had a rule that I started back when I was working in Corporate that I'd always take the first week of January off without fail.



I’m doing a couple of little bits and bobs here and there as necessary but I'm off for calls or anything like that and my schedule is MY schedule and it feels GLORIOUS and I don’t feel the slightest bit ‘behind’.



Because really, what meaning does that even have except the one you’re giving it yourself?



So I'm getting the most of my membership at the spa gym right now. Doing classes, hopping into the pool or the hot tub, then up to the manor house for a cuppa, do a little work if I need or want to, then home. Glorious.



Then my first official week back of work is The Mentorship retreat. Pretty nice start to the year in my eyes!



Now, here’s the thing. While I'm swanning about, the world and his wife seems to have woken up on social media and it’s LOUD.



Not only are we seeing business owners getting back to it with a little fire in their bellies after a break.



We’re also seeing the new year new you shame based marketing eeeeeeeverywhere.



Hence the title of this episode.



If you don’t have your conscious wits about you right now some of that pesky online programming might very easily come and bite you in the bum.



What do I mean by this?



You might be scrolling, scrolling, scrolling….all good when you’re doing it with the intention and consciousness of curiosity, staying in your own lane and doing your thing.



But if that slides…oh helloooooo my old friend comparison, how NOT delightful to see you here!



Then come the ‘shoulds’. Urgh, I'd planned to take this time off but this person’s doing this and that person’s doing that…OMG i’m already behind!



You might allow some of that shame based messaging to wangle it’s way in too which is never a good thing.



Stop.



Behind in comparison to what or who?!



Let other people do their thing. I guarantee you a lot of what they’re doing won’t be sustainable and you’ll see it drop off.



I’m very much a sit back, watch and do my own thing kinda gal. I like to treat things as an experiment and think ‘ooooh I wonder if this would work?’ I marinate on things and don’t tend to do anything knee jerk. Which is why it has taken me so long to create my membership and it’s in a totally different format to what I've seen. More on...
