How's your February comeback game looking?!
Alright, let’s just say it ... January was a free trial month!
If you're like me, every year, we come in strong with our resolutions, vision boards and fitness goals. But then life hits. And life hit good this January!!!
Somewhere between the leftover New Year’s fizz and your first attempt at dry January, you’ve probably realised 2025 hasn’t exactly delivered the fresh start you imagined ... and SAME! But it's okay...
Here’s the good news ... February is the perfect time to hit the reset button.
Why January Is a Mess
Let’s be so real now .... January is stressful. You’re on a comedown from Christmas chaos, your bank account is still recovering from December, the dreaded tax return is looming (like we could forget with those 'helpful' text reminders from HMRC!) and let’s not even talk about how cold it is.
Plus there’s that "New Year New Me" pressure to be a whole new person overnight.
Spoiler alert: You don’t need to have your life together by 1st January. You’re not a robot, you’re a human who just ate 47 minced pies.
By February though the world starts to settle down. The bank balance has (hopefully) restored a little bit, the gyms are less crowded and the “New Year, New Me” hype has settled right down. You can just… begin, quietly and intentionally, without the chaos of January.
The February Reset Plan
If you’re ready to give this year a fresh start, here’s your February checklist:
1. Drop the guilt, it serves no purpose.
Didn’t start your 2025 goals? Who cares! January was a soft launch, Feb is where it's at this year.
2. Set Realistic Goals.
Maybe you don’t need to learn five new languages or run a marathon by March. Start small - drink more water, send that email you’ve been avoiding, or finally organise your workspace - you really don't need that many notebooks!
3. Embrace those February Vibes.
February is shorter, cosier and includes Valentine’s Day chocolate (even better if you're single! Treat yourself and you don't have to share!). It’s already the superior month, so just embrace it.
4. Find Support.
If you’re a small business owner trying to stay on top of your social media game, asking for help is strong, not weak! (Hint: That’s where Believe Media comes in. We’ve got your back.)
Chapter 2/12 has a better ring to it ...
Remember starting a fresh in February doesn’t mean you’ve given up or failed in Jan. It actually means you’re flexible, adaptable and honestly, a genius for skipping the madness of January!!
So, take a deep breath, shake off the January blues and give yourself permission to rewrite your 2025 story.
February 1st is the new January 1st ... and this time you’re ready for it! Let’s make the rest of 2025 amazing (or at least better than January). You’ve got this, I've got this, together we've got this! x
