113. Rethinking NYE: The Case Against Celebrating New Year's Eve
from The Isabelle Wellman Show Hosted by Isabelle Wellman
Let me share how i've been toggling with this understanding for 3 years, and this is the first year I'm not celebrating NYE or NY day. I thank my mentors and sisters who help me wash my eyes of these normalities, and my process of re-learning how to live sustainably with the world around me. A large part of process is finding connection in nature, and using the Solstices and Equinoxes as celebratory points in my year, considering they are the alignment points of the seasons. For myself, it's been an internal battle of questioning WHY our “reality” (in this case what I perceive as mainstream media, marketing, the current government, etc) would condone the behavior or every “holiday” revolving around alcohol, making money off advertisements, and consuming a year's worth of sugar…. (no coincidences here kitty kats) The above three issues are unsustainable and only support escapism behavior from how one could instead honor the dark, cold, and slow Winter months in order to feel genuinely renewed come Spring! Maybe you feel out of alignment with creating a giant pledge to yourself to achieve “xyz” for the entire year, or as if you're not ready to “birth” anything new into this world. If that resonates, you're not alone. Medium Article by Yeshe Matthews Want free wellness tips every week? Click here!
