Now we're a week into the New Year and have fulfilled some of our resolutions, like never to drink spiced rum and mulled wine and prosecco in the same night, or to eat carbs ever again, we're starting to reflect on what we're really going to do with our year.
In 2018, many of us in the Natural Medicine Collective have been inspired to fulfil our natural healing desires - to make a tincture, to try meditation, to do a yoga challenge or to experiment with essential oils. For some of us, it's related to permaculture goals, hoping to grow plants that can act as medicine. Others might feel that their healing resolution is to be kinder to themselves and others. Some resolutions are huge and visionary. Some are small yet vital. Some are spiritual, some are practical, some are both.
The resolutions we make are as diverse as the folk that populate the blockchain.
It's important for us to realise too, that resolutions are not necessarily about fixing anything that's broken, or making promises we can't keep. Sometimes, a resolution is just about creating a dream, helping us achieve goals, or putting into action something that's always just been a faint wish. Whatever it is for you, we're hoping it will be something you can return to and reflect about when December comes around!
