This January was a bit different for me.

During the mid-month, our family took a vacation.

We usually take this annual trip in December, so this was new for me.

I enjoyed having the time before the holidays at home.

However, I didn’t realize the impact of the shift we were making.

Habits and routines from early January were interrupted.

I felt like I started.

Then stopped.

As I now look ahead to February, there is excitement.

I’m ready to get back into that new year groove.

Settling into the schedules that had started to become familiar.

I realize how much I enjoy routine.

Knowing generally how my days will unfold.

There is comfort there.

I hope the routine will come back quickly.

January energy is always high for me.

Starting the year with a flurry of plans.

Maybe this year the January energy will flow right through February.

I hope so.

I also hope that you have enjoyed your own January energy.

New routines and schedules that suit your aspirations for the year ahead.

Your Turn

Has your January gone as planned?

Are there new routines that are working (or not)?

How are you starting to shift to the focus on February?
