HAPPY NEW YEAR

Dive into 2015 with LOVE and take care of yourself, you are precious.

Don't fall for any of the 'New Year, New You' nonsense that the fitness industry is undoubtedly filling your inbox with right now. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty, it's a waste of your imagination. Use it instead to make sustainable change fueled by self-respect. Or stay the same : )

If you do like to use January as an opportunity to make changes then take the following into consideration... 

“...I think we are well-advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were.”

― Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem
