When you wish upon a star, it’s more out of hope than belief. And the new year is just the time for this kind of optimism. The crisp pages of a new journal are the place for a could-do list or the beginnings of a project. But acknowledge the darkness and still-short days too. Midwinter is also a time for thinking and reflecting, for sleeping deeply, rather than doing and achieving. Feed your body and your mind now as nourishment to see you through to spring. Daydream in a cosy corner and the world will seem a warmer place.
