Beginning a new year gives me energy. How does it do that?
I finished 2011 feeling really tired and drained. Somehow I knew. I knew that energy was just around the corner. I just had to get over the end of the year and wipe the slate clean.
Admittedly, I have used the holiday period to catch up on some sleep, but I am feeling so much more energised. And it's a great feeling.
With renewed energy, I have renewed enthusiasm and drive. I have been busy cleaning, organising and ridding our house of unneeded items. Part of this is incorporating the things received for Christmas and giving them homes. It's been a great time to evict those things that no longer have a use in our home and are just creating clutter.
Maybe it's the fact that in Australia we start our New Year in Summer, but I always want to freshen things up at this time of year. I want to create space, lighten the mood, and have clear, clean surfaces.
Perhaps this is becoming my new favourite time of the year?

Yes, me too! I love a fresh new start to the year - like that first, clean blank page of a journal. I can't say it's my fave time of year as I'd prefer the cooler weather times but I really do love the start for renewing and revitalising and implementing change.
ReplyDeleteOh I couldn't agree more. I am busy doing the same thing here! I figure, I have until about the end of January before it doesn't feel "new" any more and the impetus isn't there!
ReplyDeleteI think the endless possibilities of a fresh, clean slate are what gives us a new surge of energy at this time of year. 'What ifs' are always energising! x
ReplyDeleteYes to that new year energy! I'm hoping it sticks around for a while.
