Rather than making resolutions for the year ahead, the Luck’s Yard Team are making intentions instead.  We decided that this allows for a bit of failure and is a way of being kinder to ourselves while trying to adopt good or give up bad habits!

Here are some of our intentions:

More self-care including more ‘me’ time and allowing ourselves to stop and just ‘be’.

More walks in green tree-filled spaces and making sure we give trees a hug too

Drink more water!

Don’t be so self-critical and hard on ourselves. Try to stop the negative self-doubt that dominates our thoughts and instead be more compassionate to ourselves.

Reduce food waste and try to use leftovers for lunches eg soups instead of shop-bought lunches

A bit more wild swimming

Be more adventurous!

To be more productive/complete daily tasks so they don’t pile up so I don’t feel suffocated/overwhelmed

to eat less ultra processed foods

to get my sleep patterns right

to bring more fun and play into my life and be more open to doing things differently

to be more engaged with my teenage children – actively listen rather than multitask

 to be more time-rich and less of a busy fool!

And finally do remember that ‘growing old is inevitable but growing up is optional’!

Happy 2024 to everyone
