Revolution begins with language.
And it’s time we changed the language of Winter so we can kick off the year with some energy, optimism and gusto.
Peaky Bugger Jim Rigg sent me this.
“The words people use to describe winter include ‘bleak’, ‘dark’, ‘barren’, ‘cold’, ‘miserable’, ‘depressing’.
“We can’t expect to keep this language and appreciate the joys of winter,” says Stephanie Fitzgerald, a chartered clinical psychologist.
She now feels the spirit of the season is better encapsulated by “yutori’, a Japanese word that means room to breathe, a sense of space, taking a moment to pause.”
So take a breath, pause and smile.
Live Life, Love Life.
