Welcome – January 2021
If you had asked yourself what your hopes and goals for 2020 were at the end of last year, it’s probably safe to say they were rather different to what was actually achieved.
What has passed during the majority of 2020 is lockdown, restrictions placed on our freedoms, forced apart from family and friends, worries about our health and for many, concern about financial security.
In short, 2020 was tough, for everyone, in many different ways and the effects are likely to be felt as we move into a new year (and never before have we been so ready for a fresh start!). But there are also some good shifts that we can take forward into 2021, new perspectives, fresh approaches to our health, and, of course, the fact that a vaccine is now being rolled out across the UK, hopefully marking an end to the crisis.
So, now is the time to take stock, and to make some fresh goals for this new year we now find ourselves in – how will yours differ this time round, with all the experience of the
challenges of the last year?
For me, it is remembering to take time out, to not pack the diary so full of busy-ness that
you forget to enjoy what’s going on. This is something that was brought into focus during
both lockdowns, when we were forced to slow down and take stock, and taking forward a
gentler pace of life is certainly a goal for me.
Health is also a key focus, as it should be for us all; eating well, taking my supplements, and
being sure I am active regularly (and outdoors ideally) is so important to maintain wellbeing,
physically and mentally, and never before has the importance of looking after our health felt
so important as it has during the Covid-19 pandemic.
And finally, let’s talk about kindness; it’s a word that was used a lot in 2020 as we all needed
to show others a bit of kindness at a time of huge challenge. Small acts of kindness go such a
long way if we all did a bit more of it, and this is something we should all take into 2021.
Whether it’s making a small donation to your local food bank to help others in need, offering a
smile to someone who may need it that day, or simply asking if a friend or family member is
OK, these acts all make us better people and support those who may not be doing so well.
From the whole team here at Natural Lifestyle, we hope whatever 2021 brings for you, it comes with health and happiness.
