#CuriousMoments with Advita
A few years ago, I realised that January wasn’t a new start for me. I was often tired, never really felt refreshed, and the dark nights impacted my wellbeing.
This meant I struggled with keeping resolutions, which brought immense guilt when I failed. After spending time getting to know myself and boosting my confidence, I knew that starting anything new in the middle of winter was pointless for me.
I decided to split the year into 90-day sprints, aligning with the four seasons we have in the UK. I don’t see January as my fresh start. For me, it’s 20 March-the first day of Spring.
Here’s a brief overview of my planning schedule ????????
Winter (20 Dec – 20 March) is about nourishment, conserving energy and filling up my mental health jug. Whatever energy I have is focused on client delivery.
Spring (20 March – 20 June) is about new ideas, innovation and reinvention. By this point, my jug has been refilled, so l instigate my plans and create audacious goals.
Summer (20 June – 20 September) is about implementation, learning and fulfilment. I’m in full-on delivery mode. I often do a mid-year reset and take lessons on board from the last six months.
Autumn (20 September – 20 Dec) is about discovery, focus and planning. My deep planning takes place in autumn. I look at my goals for the months ahead, understand what I need to change and adjust accordingly.
Remember, January 1st is just another day on the calendar, and if you don’t feel inspired by this date, change your schedule – how you manage your time and goals has to work for you.
I wish you all the best for the year ahead. Remember for 2024 avoid comparison, tune into your brilliance and live the life you want without needing validation from anyone.
