Fantastic! Thank you. My inner critic has been like a dog with a bone lately and new year brings it out even worse, so reading your piece was so welcome. A nuance I'd add is that I do find gratitude lists and suchlike helpful because of the negative bias that is apparently a feature of the human brain. Not to facilitate a pretence that everything is fine, but to not be constantly ruminating on what's amiss, and missing the chip shops and the rain (totally relate, from over here on the mid life journey).

I love this! Such a pragmatic, realistic approach to the new year. Ahem to wholeness x
I love this article! So much truth to it! I sincerely hope that you feel better soon Marianne.💜
Just BRILLIANT
