To celebrate the end of autumn and mark the official start to winter, stop and snap a selfie … you don’t have to post it but bravely look at the picture and ask yourself this question … “how am I really doing this winter solstice?” This simple pause will reflect back what is happening in life right now.

So what did your eyes tell you? That you are enjoying a festive holiday season? That you are living a balanced, healthy and happy life? Or not? And as you look closer perhaps you can tell what’s working for you these days and whether it is time to change a few things.

Winter marks a season of darkness and deep growth. Celebrate the longest nights of the year by taking a moment to really look at yourself because without knowing where you really are in life, it is difficult to know where to go next when the light returns.

Best wishes to everyone this winter season!
