Nourish: /ˈnəriSH/ 1. provide with the food or other substances necessary for growth, health, and good condition. 2. keep (a feeling or belief) in one's mind, typically for a long time.
2024 is my year to nourish. I want to make intentional choices for myself and my family to nourish us in the best ways I can. This looks like choosing to be present and putting my phone down more. This also looks like choosing foods that provide nutrients, but don’t add stress. I want to support the emotional growth for my kids, which means leading by example. I want to add fun into my life: reading books, playing games, and getting outside because I can, not because I have to.
Last year, I chose the word simplicity and DANG IT WAS GOOD. I found systems to add ease to my life, eliminated unnecessary complexities, created habits that were sustainable long term. Turns out I was creating A LOT of unnecessary stress and chaos to my life. There is so much I cannot control, so I tried to release that stress and simplify the things I am in control of.
Was I perfect? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Did I get way closer to the life I want that I was at the beginning of 2023? Sure did!
I can’t wait to see how 2024 transforms my life.
Do you have a word for 2024? Share with me!
In love and light,
Dr. Machesney
