The Happy Mums Foundation’s Post

With the festivities continuing for New Year this week, our groups will remain online, with in-person meetings resuming from January 6th. Personally (Lucinda here 👋), I find there’s a lot of pressure at New Year to start something new or tackle something you’ve been putting off. To go out or throw a party. To celebrate the year you’ve had—or put a bad year behind you and prepare for a great one. It’s too much pressure for just one day. Yes, it’s a transition in the calendar, but it doesn’t have to be a transition in your life—unless you really want it to be. Change isn’t something we humans are naturally great at, so why force it? I won’t be going out on the town or hosting a big party (unless you count me, Harry, and a few tubs of Pringles as a party!). Sure, I like to reflect on some of the good things that happened over the year, but I’m not making any resolutions. I’m not deciding, “This is the year I’ll go to the gym three times a week” or “I’ll cut out chocolate for good.” Instead, I’m focusing on being content with who I am—which, now that I write it, might be more of a resolution than I originally intended! But hopefully, you get what I mean. I’m not resolving to change; I’m choosing to appreciate who I am and what I have—and that feels like enough. Take this as your reminder that you are amazing just as you are. Take each day, each hour, each minute as it comes. Smile if you feel like it. Cry if the tears want to fall. Every emotion is as valid as you are. And you are always welcome to safely share whatever emotion you need to in our groups. #festivitiescontinue #onlinesupportgroups #mumssupportingmums #newyearsresolutions #youareenoughasyouare
