Have come across a video saying: I am challenging myself this January â I am going to make it through every single day! đ¤Ł
Funny for some, there is some truth to this: âjust making it through.â A difficult month for many, simply making it through can be just enough.
However, whilst we nearly made it through January, there remains a risk of applying this view to the rest of the year. Making it through is great, but we deserve to do a lot better than that. Circumstances will require us to live our lives a certain way: we have responsibilities and big changes donât happen overnight.
What can change is the way HOW we are making it through the days and months ahead.

Having a mental list of things to be grateful for is always handy, but â hear me out here â try to feel it in your body. Look around you and look at the most mundane things with a new perspective. The things that are available to us every day, like a daily hot shower, people didnât have only 100 years ago.
