A New Year State of Mind

What is the grace period for being in a New Year state of mind? How long do you think about what new skills you want to learn, places you want to go, and new habits you want to nurture in the coming year? 

For me, I’d say January through March is all open season for developing new plans (and dreams) for the coming year. Let’s face it, December is all about being in the moment: enjoying, indulging, time with friends and family…and maybe trying to create some space from all the enjoying and indulging and time with friends and family. It’s also a time for wrapping up the year and looking backward. It’s not until January that I’m really ready to look forward. 

And so, if, like me, you haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about what you want to make happen in the coming year, I invite you to sit down and give it some thought… you’re right on time.
