We Have Light!

February can be one of the hardest months of the year with the distance from Christmas and the sunnier days still feeling a long way out of reach.

As I write this blog post I feel hope.

“Today you are planting seeds to your dream. Be patient because it will be a large harvest.” Chris Burkmenn

Boris announced the roadmap out of lockdown for England last night and although we must still be careful it feels as though brighter days will be here sooner than we think. 

I wanted to share a few ways to help you thrive and flourish over the next month and support you in having a positive mindset.

• Listen out for the birds singing slightly longer each evening
• Look out for the rainbows in the sky
• Plan your summer garden; sow seeds, plant Dahlia tubers in pots inside, start a cut flower bed/ pot for children to pick flowers from and put in a vase on Hygge Friday
• Open the windows of your home and let the fresh air in
• Visit a pond and look out for frogspawn
• Create a nook indoors with all your favourite self care, wanderlust books and crafting books and magazines
• The trees are starting to flower- look out for catkins!
• Collect a list of post virus ideas of things you would love to do, people you want to see and moments you long to have
• Create a treat list for each season; a hot chocolate with a flake, a new pastel candle for Spring, an evening star gazing in the garden, a clay afternoon with friends, ordering new seeds to grow and admire...start with whatever lights you up and find the joys in the season
• Plan some spring or Easter crafts to do; maybe hard boiling some eggs, painting them in spring colours (sample paint pots work well!) and then decorating them with gold foil and hanging them off a branch. 

International Day of Hygge is this Sunday and i wan't to invite you to spend the day enjoying the Scandinavian way of living well. I have a FREE webinar available for you to watch here as well as a pack of FREE resources to embrace hygge in your home or setting.
