Restorative New Year

Hello Beauties,

I hope you have been able to slow down and allow flow during this time of intense energy and transition. I have been in restorative mode since the beginning of the year. 

Restore: Return to a former condition, place or position. Repair or renovate so as to return to its original condition.

Restorative: Having the ability to restore health, strength or a feeling of well-being.

In my last email, I talked about how this time of year is all about slowing down so we can restore our foundation and gather all the bread crumbs and treasures we accumulated from 2024, go through them and see what we want to continue to follow and what we need to leave behind. 

We are not unlike a home that has been lived in, gone through a few changes, withstood the elements and the environmental hazards and is still fortified. It includes getting rid of the clutter, finding out what no longer works and fixing it, trying new things and seeing what resonates with life at this time. Restore all the good parts of who you are and get rid of everything else so you can bring in something new. 

When the energy picks up again with Mars going direct at the end of February, life is going to pick up enormously. It can't help but come alive and shower us all with more energy, directing us into our authentic self and giving us opportunities to try out. When we intentionally slow down we can't help but reflect on what was, what is and what will be. That's the restorative nature of life: keeping things that are precious alive and giving it energy or releasing all that needs to go. 

When we take the time to actually sit with ourselves to recharge, we have the energy and awareness to create the life we have always wanted. It's already here, just be open to it. Otherwise, self sabotage, busyness or unworthiness seeps in and we get caught off guard with the best part of life. Slow down, be gentle with yourself and pay attention and focus on what you want in this brand new year and in this one precious life.

If you want to take a deeper dive into how to slow down and restore your system to create a vision for this new year, I am hosting a retreat on Saturday, February 1st from 1-3. We will celebrate the year of the wooden snake, create vision boards and discover new ways to gently care for your sweet self with some meditation and movement for your new way of being.

If you're not able to attend the retreat, I would love to see y'all for a treatment in my new space at Flow Acupuncture on Fridays at 1204 East So. Temple, SLC.

You always have time for what you choose to have time for...

Allow yourself some time to take in the moments and enjoy each one as it comes. 

All my love and gratitude to you all,

Colette
