Why Midwinter is the Wrong Time for Resolutions

January often pressures us to reset, but nature encourages rest. The month symbolizes a time of slumber rather than intense productivity. Instead of striving for resolutions, we should reflect, plan, and nurture ourselves. True renewal comes in spring when growth aligns with nature, allowing us to embrace change more sustainably.
