does the new year actually start today?

consider the season you’re in + determine whether or not it’s conducive with completely starting over in this moment.

not every season comes to a close at the top of the year, fam.

quite frankly, your natural environment supports rest + relaxation right now more than it supports a complete overhaul of your life.

it’s true — the start of a capitalistic + Roman new year does start today; however, when intuitively connected, you understand that the new year begins nearer to springtime, march 1st.

does that mean i can’t start over today, P?

actually, it doesn’t. 

you can do whatever you like + make any move that you feel is necessary for your life today, even if that means starting over.

i share this information with you not to stop you from starting over, rather to encourage you to take the necessary steps to overhaul your life anytime you deem it necessary.

if a whole calendar can replace what intuitively + instinctively flows with the laws of nature for its profit + gains, you can determine whether or not you want to continue down that path of restructuring or go back to your roots + do something different this go ’round.

the issue with these new year intentions is that for years we’ve set them at the height of winter, a natural downtime in our lives. 

it’s a time where the days are short, our energy reserves as lower than normal, + our resources are just enough for us to sustain.

by design, we are to sit down + reassess in these moments; however capitalism + traditions will keep us in the loophole of doing the most for the sake of it’s upkeep.

innately, is that really what your body, mind, + spirit need right now, fam?

today, encourage yourself to take it one step at a time.

change occurs daily, there’s no need for a drastic overhaul on your life simply because the calendar reads january 1.

honor the natural pacing of your life.

honor + reconnect with what intuitively speaks to you.

honor the true intentions you have for wanting to pursue different in your life.

are you doing this for what january 1 represents to the masses? 

are you doing this because you feel it’s time to change? 

are you doing this for you, fam?

be you, be dope!
