How to Reset: A Fresh New Year

How to Reset: A Fresh New Year

Ever notice how a phone or computer starts to slow down over time, taking forever to load apps or startup? It can be frustrating, right? The system tends to get stuck with too many apps running, outdated files, and background processes that hinder its performance. That's when a reset becomes important-clearing out the junk, updating the software, and giving it a chance to run smoothly again.

Imagine resetting your phone or computer. Now, everything runs faster, smoother, and more efficiently after clearing out unnecessary files and starting fresh. Similarly, the new year is a chance to do the same for yourself. Just like your devices and home, your body and mind deserve a refresh to function at their best.

For many, the new year may feel overwhelming. Many people start to consider their New Year's goals and resolutions and start curating their vision boards. It involves planning, reflecting on the year that once was and sometimes you feel the need to do a huge cleanout. This usually begins with your physical space. Sorting out your home, washing the windows, and essentially, doing a DEEP clean.

It is usually accompanied by inspiration and the Natural Home Cleaning eBook. It signals a "new" start, a fresh clean slate, to make new memories, new plans and new aspirations. This is known as a reset.

What is a Reset?

A reset is an intentional pause to reflect, realign, and rejuvenate. It can be accompanied by a holiday getaway or simply a moment before the busyness of the year. It's about clearing out physical, mental, and emotional clutter to create space for growth, focus, clarity, and achieving balance.

It's a small pause to set the stage for a year that truly reflects the life you want to create.

Why Does A New Year Reset Matter?

Just as a reset breathes new life into your devices, resetting your body and mind can bring a sense of renewal and purpose, setting the foundation for a year of growth and wellness. Remember, we all can feel the pressure of a new year but by taking intentional steps toward well-being, you're setting the stage for a year of progress, not perfection.

Steps to Reset Your Body, Mind, and Skin

1. Energise Your Body

Herbal teas are a delicious and comforting way to flush out toxins and provide you with much-needed energy, resilience and mental focus to tackle the new year and everything that comes with it. With natural options like Green Tea, Ginseng, Yerba Mate, Ginkgo, Hoodia, Sceletium and Ashwagandha, you can write down your goals and plans for the year in your 2025 journal with energy and a good mood.

You can also fuel your body with nutrient-dense superfoods like spirulina and moringa to replenish and supercharge. If you’re looking to create meals that encourage health and wellness, read more on the amazing benefits of Sprouting Seeds here

2. Uplift Your Mind

Using Essential Oils like our Stress Relief Blend or a Wax Melt for relaxation creates a serene environment for you to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the new year. You can also enjoy uplifting scents like lemongrass or bergamot in oil warmers or diffusers or diluted in your choice of carrier oil. Why not use our Cheer Up Blend as a pick-me-up as you set out to conquer your day?

Another lovely way to uplift your mind is by making your own Candle using this simple DIY recipe. 

3. Rejuvenate Your Skin

Refresh your skin and reveal a glowing complexion with natural scrubs and masks made from ingredients like bentonite clay or kaolin clay with a hydrosol of choice. You follow this recipe and try making our Himalayan Salt Body Scrub or try our gentle facial peels.

Reinvigorate and reset your body with gentle stretches, paired with an intensive, deep-penetrating massage oil like our Arnica Massage Rub to not only soothe muscle soreness but promote relaxation and nourish skin and hydrate.

So, take a deep breath, embrace aromatherapy, light that candle, sip on your energising herbal tea, and let the reset begin, naturally!
