resolution for the new year

This photo shows the sunrise I wish to see on New Year's Day morning - but reality looked quite different.

In fact, this breathtaking sunrise was from Christmas Day morning in 2019. On dark winter mornings here in London, I often picture that golden light and imagine starting each day bathed in its warmth.

Last year was challenging for many of us. My journey of inner work continues - not just for this year, but for life.

To guide myself, I've created a set of gentle reminders: 3 As, 3 Rs, and 3 Cs - words that help me create harmony and meaning in everyday life. I'd love to share them with you.

3 As:

▪️ APPRECIATION: Begin and end each day with gratitude.

▪️ ALIVENESS: Focus on what makes you feel truly alive and joyful.

▪️ ABUNDANCE: Shift from a mindset of scarcity to one of plenty. Recognise how much we already have - opportunities are all around if we choose to see them.

3 Rs:

▪️ REDUCE: Minimise waste wherever possible, especially plastic.

▪️ REUSE: Use what you have again and again - until it truly can't be repaired.

▪️ RESPECT: Appreciate your belongings and treat them with care.

3 Cs:

▪️ COMPASSION: Practice daily acts of kindness and support one another.

▪️ CONNECTION: Build and nurture meaningful relationships and community.

▪️ COMMITMENT: Commit to self-care, caring for others, and caring for our planet.

The New Year offers a wonderful opportunity to form new habits.

I am embracing a more minimalist lifestyle - reducing waste in my daily life and making conscious choices to buy sustainable products.

Through my brand and the Furoshiki culture, I hope to share inspiration and joy with many people.

Let's stay hopeful, keep creating and welcome a brighter year ahead.
