Not quite Narnia……
but perhaps near enough.
New Year greetings to you all.
There’s much talk along the lines of ‘what’s your word of the year?’, which is interesting, but rather limiting, I think. Especially as 2026 is but one week old. I’d rather know what someone’s word of the minute/hour/day/week might be.
Having said that, I think my word of the year would be ‘reframing’. To give myself increased choice, in doing and feeling.
Reframing language – rather than saying ‘I *have* to do that’, I’m adopting the more liberating ‘I *get* to do that’. My voice, my interest, and my eyebrows lift slightly, and my energy rises, too.
Reframing behaviours – rather than burden myself with ‘resolutions’, I’m looking at ‘gifts’ – such as what I want to achieve by this time next year? What can I give myself to make that happen, in terms of skills, learning, attitude, application, people?
Reframing focus – rather than being weighed down by snow (beautiful though it is), I’m choosing to raise my eyes to the hills, to the return of the light.
My Bach Flower Remedies include Walnut, for managing change; Chestnut Bud, for easing out of not repeating my old unhelpful patterns; Aspen, for feeling a bit wobbly about stepping into the new/unknown year; Larch, for increased confidence; Clematis, for less daydreaming and more focus on the now; Honeysuckle for gently releasing the past, rather than carrying it with me into the future.
I wonder what your Remedies would be?
