75 Days to Align—Prepare for the New Year of Renewal
Tips on how to prepare for the New Year of Renewal
Happy 2025, My Loves!
As we step into this new year, may it bless you with an abundance of love, joy, peace, and success! More than anything, I wish you the courage to take up space, speak your truth, showcase your unique gifts, and free yourself from the limitations that have held you back from living your most authentic life.
Now all it takes is a decision. You must decide what you want and, most importantly, who you want to be. Yup, It’s really that simple. But we must remember that our desires are not separate from us. They’re already within, buried deep inside waiting for the moment we find the courage to excavate them and bring them into the light of our everyday lives.
To make this vision a reality requires intention and planning. We need a mindset shift, healthy habits, devotion, and consistency. This is why I have come to value the wisdom of nature’s cycles deeply.
I see winter as a time to go inward—to conserve energy, reflect, and nurture ourselves for what’s ahead. Just as ancient farmers understood the importance of winter as a time for rejuvenation and preparation for the coming planting season, I too see this as a sacred period of rest and contemplation. By returning to nature’s rhythms, we reconnect to an ancient way of living, and when we embrace each season for what it is, we begin to witness the magic that naturally unfolds.
For me, the true "new year" begins in the spring, when the astrological new year and the start of the Aries season coincide. This season symbolises new beginnings, fresh energy, and bold action. It’s the perfect time to plant the seeds of our intentions and trust that the universe will help us manifest them with grace and integrity when the time is right.
Aligning for Intentional Transformation: 75 Days of Soft, Sustainable Growth
Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of "75 challenges" circulating on social media, and the one that resonates most with me is the 75 Soft Challenge. The original 75-day challenge focuses on building mental strength, discipline, and habits, but the "soft" version is about intentional transformation, sustainable goals, and nurturing your mind, body, and soul. This aligns more with my approach to starting the year with ease, intention, and self-compassion.
With 75 days leading us into the spring season, this is a perfect time to embark on a journey of gentle, yet meaningful growth. I’m sharing my own 75 Soft rules with you as an invitation to align, grow, and nourish yourselves with patience and care:
Here are my 75 Soft rules:
Limit Alcohol – For celebratory occasions and events only, I’ll enjoy 1-2 glasses, keeping it intentional.
Daily Detox Shots – A nourishing shot of either ginger, celery, or beetroot every morning to fuel my body.
Workout 3-4 Times a Week – Pilates, Barre, and at-home weight training to keep my body strong and flexible.
Read Daily – Morning and Evening, two chapters, to keep my mind sharp and engaged.
Creative Hobby – Whether it's colouring, baking, or taking a dance class, I dedicate time to creative expression.
Meditate/Pray Daily – A moment of mindfulness to centre myself and stay connected to god
Journal Daily – Reflecting on my thoughts and intentions to stay aligned with my goals.
Try New Recipes Weekly – Exploring new flavours and nourishing meals to keep my body and soul fed.
Weekly Red Light Sauna – For healing, rejuvenation, and relaxation.
Weekly Study Blocks – Dedicating time to learn
I truly believe that creating lasting habits requires consistency, compassion, and a commitment to doing what feels right for our bodies and souls. As we step into this year of renewal, may these 75 days guide us into a deeper understanding of what it means to grow, slowly, intentionally, and with grace.
Remember, my loves, there is no rush! Transformation isn’t about instant results it’s about showing up for yourself every day, nurturing your growth, and trusting that, in time, you’ll become exactly who you’re meant to be.
Wishing you all a year of renewal, courage, and beautiful transformations.
Love,
