Beautiful and thoughtful article Jennifer, thank you. I definitely get trapped in the cycle of processed foods and negative thinking with the dark nights & my current heavy workload. I'll try to implement some of these 😊
Thank you so much, Genie <3 I definitely know how hard it can be to get out of those mindsets - and it doesn’t happen overnight, but I hope these tips can be helpful to you!
I wanted to thank you for this article. I admit, I was reading a long and as I went thinking I've tried these things and still I am so sad and tired. You know the one, the tired sleep doesn't fix. I've tried them all and it helps for a little bit but the sadness always creeps back in on tiny, quiet feet with unwelcome thoughts.
And then I got to the end of the article. Return. And it made me cry.
Because I can always start again. Over and over. Doesn't matter how many times. When I start to sink below the waves , I can kick just a little harder and return to the surface and the light.
Maybe one day, if I keep treading this sea of bs I'll finally learn how to float.
Hi Tracy, thank you so much for your message <3 I absolutely, 100% know how you feel on this - those tiny, quiet feet can really creep up on us when we are in a not-so-good place.
For me, yes, it's been that practice of returning. I'm not going to lie, I find some of the advice I've given here really hard to follow all the time. Today, I was on my phone at 7.30am, but I had to throw it across the room and question, "Why am I doing this?" I think it's about being conscious, aware and not letting those feelings of dissociation kick in that keep us in a foggy state - which is just one step away from sadness.
Sending you so much love as we head into December xx
I hear you about starting again, over and over. I think of it as groundhog day, I try again the next day and keep going. Your team of light is with you 🥰🌟
This post is so important Jennifer, ore so as we are in the darkest part of the year.These are all things I know I should do and I do a lot of them, but its great to have a reminder and so positive to read. I had awful IBS stomach pains today and reading this started me on the path to feeling better.May you day be filled with love and light.🙂
I’m so glad this article started you on a lighter path this weekend! And I hope you’re still feeling better? I wanted to share this post now before Yule as I know so many people struggle at this time of year - it sounds like it’s struck a chord with many people.
I found this article in divine timing Jennifer, thank you for sharing. Grief is such a powerful entity. In the past 16 months I have lost both of my parents. My Dad following my Mum, Dads funeral is on Tuesday 9th December. I feel broken. Reading your words have helped me today so realise that I need to vibe higher - help myself - thank you
Hi DaniAnn, thank you so much for your message and I’m incredibly sorry to hear about such huge losses in your life. Please be kind to yourself - what I’ve mentioned in this article might not be relevant to you for the next few weeks, as I know how it feels to be deep in your grief at the very beginning, when you are just taking things day by day. But I hope these things can be useful as you begin to feel stronger, and the daylight begins to grow again. Sending a big hug x
It’s certainly a very tough time. I know that the sun will shine in the story of my life once again, right now it feels very difficult. Life is built of phases, everything ebbs and flows. Their love will guide me through.
Thank you, I needed to hear this 😍 I'm in the process of changing my lifestyle to more of an ashram style, bringing in the good habits. I love that your advice is well rounded covering all areas. And I'm discovering the thing about music at the moment too.
Thank you for reminding me about the energy behind our thoughts and how we talk to ourselves, I've now heard that twice today from 2 different sources, so I'm going to heed it! As my Blue Jay animal medicine says I have to walk the talk, not just talk about it! Now is the time, the power of now.
This is such a beautiful message, Steph! It sounds like you’re already well on your way to the life you want <3 It can be so difficult to change the way we talk to ourselves if we have a history of negative thinking, but - wow - the difference afterwards is incredible! Have a beautiful day x

And the solstice was yesterday, meaning the light is only growing from this point onwards. Sending so much love and energy for the winter season.
