Day 27
... zap the 'ugh'ness out
Welcome to Day TWENTY SEVEN of our A-Z+ of Seasonal Sanity Savers – 2024.
There comes a time when we need to zap the ‘ugh’ness out of our lives. You guessed it, for today’s letter Z the word is Zap. Let us zap into oblivion the stale, irrelevant, and draining to feel fresh, ready for the new and exciting!
I take great joy in playfully but intentionally zapping any lingering negative or stale energy from my surroundings and my mind. Today, I encourage you to do the same. Whether it’s tidying up after the festivities, opening windows so fresh air can blow through, or lighting your favourite candle, take a moment to revitalise your space. I’ll probably even wave my smudge stick around the house a few times. Notice how these small acts of renewal can bring clarity and calm to your day. Clearing the external clutter often works wonders for mental clarity, too, leaving you recharged and ready for what’s next.
And let’s not forget the restorative power of rest.
Today might call for an indulgent lie-in, an early night, or even a cheeky afternoon nap. You can’t convince me otherwise.
Listen to your body’s cues and allow yourself the downtime you need. By creating a refreshed space and prioritising rest, you’ll be well-prepared to welcome the new year with energy and intention.
Speaking of the new year, tomorrow marks the beginning of the countdown!
Stay tuned as I share what each countdown number signifies.
What are you looking forward to as the year winds down?
Quietly, and zealously yours,
Joanna
