ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The year doesn’t start in January - and neither should you.
TLDR the Gregorian calendar’s start date is arbitrary, disconnected from nature, and primarily a construct of historical and commercial influence etc etc.
So in lieu of that, let’s find a New Year that works for us - here are just some you can choose from:
- Astrological New Year: Astrologically, the new year begins when the Sun enters Aries, which occurs around the Spring Equinox.
- Personal New Year: Many feel their personal cycle restarts on their birthday, which is seen as a more meaningful, individualised time to set new goals and reflect on the past year.
- Lunar New Year: Celebrated by many cultures (Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean) based on a lunisolar calendar, that we celebrated just last week on Feb 17.
What We’re Chatting About
- Why Shannon is NOT a New Year’s Resolution girl
- Making intentions from alignment vs. pressure
- Slutty little glasses (IYKYK)
- The psychological spiral of online shopping cart purgatory
It wouldn’t be a new year without a vision board!!
What’s on yours? Send us pics & Tag us.
We round it out with advice to our younger selves on new years.
Georgia - Only making resolutions that come from places of love, joy, compassion
Shannon - Be more patient with myself
