💖Walking into 2025 with Possiblities & RECOVERY
Do you have fun plans or low key plans for New Years? Do you celebrate the eve or day?
I use to love NYE, it’s changed. Now, I love cozy NYE and celebrating NYD. FUN has to be peacefully FLOWING EASE these days.
There’s just a refreshing feeling about the start of the year. Give yourself permission to not judge what you should be doing.
I encourage you let a word FLOW to you to direct the energy of 2025, it’s like setting your GPS for your adventures throughout the year. I’ve done this for at least 5 years and every word builds on the previous year.
You have the whimsical freedom to let your word FIND you – sometimes taking until April 1st!
🌟 WHY that long? Because you can celebrate New Years four times from January 1st-April 1st.
The universe hosts four different New Year celebrations just for us: the Gregorian on January 1st, the enchanting Lunar New Year January 29th, the rejuvenating Spring Equinox March 21st, and playful April Fools’ Day. Each offers a unique chance to align with your intentions.
Last year, my beacon was “Attention.” It wasn’t just a word; it was my guardian, steering me to focus fiercely and guard my energy like the precious treasure it is. The result? A year drenched in distilled insights and profound growth.
Here’s a constellation of words from my planning coach Mia Moran at PlanSimple. Let them simmer, sparkle, and reveal themselves to you in divine timing. 💫

BONUS: FIVE Ways To Recover from Holiday Binging from TESS MASTERS #1: Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate
Lemon Water: We start our day with a glass of lemon water every day as part of the SK60® Daily Routine. But, it is especially important after a period of intense acid-forming eating! (To one 16-oz glass of warm or room temperature filtered water: Squeeze the juice of half of a lemon.)
After your lemon water, drink plenty of still filtered water and water-based beverages like herbal tea. (Carbonated water and other drinks can be dehydrating and cause digestive issues.)
Liquid Chlorophyll or Apple Cider Vinegar: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of mint-flavored liquid chlorophyll to every glass of water for an additional boost. An alternative is to add 1 tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar to your water. (Most people find 2 tablespoons too assertive.)
Use Filtered Water: If you don’t use filtered water, your body has to do the filtering, and it will slow down your detox.
Raw Foods: Another important way to hydrate is to eat lots of raw fruits and vegetables. Really high-water-content produce includes lettuces, spinach, kale, cucumber, celery, tomatoes, berries, grapefruit, lemons, and limes. These foods will help rehydrate your body and flush out toxins.
#2: Rip into Raw Foods
For the week after Christmas and the first week of the new year, I eat a much larger percentage of raw fruits and vegetables and tons of leafy greens! These mineral-rich alkaline forming superstar foods combat acidic wastes and help eliminate the mucoid-forming foods from the digestive tract. Add spinach, kale, chard, arugula, romaine, collard greens, and baby bok choy to smoothies and salads.
Raw leafy greens, fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds retain their full nutrient potential, contain enzymes that aid digestion, and mineral-rich water for better health.
Start your day with a green smoothie Have a green salad for lunch and/or dinner. Snack on fruits and veggies.
Enjoy whole pieces of fruit or raw veggies as snacks, and add sprouts or raw greens to cooked dishes to promote better digestion.
*Omnivores: Consider eating all plant foods for a few days or a couple of weeks for the quickest reboot.
#3: Push the Probiotics
Your gut health takes a beating during the holidays with foods that destroy beneficial bacteria.
So, replenish the beneficial probiotics like a bandit.
I take 1 to 2 probiotic capsules in the morning and evening for two weeks after Christmas and New Years. I also drink 1/4 cup of water kefir or coconut water kefir in the morning and evening. I also eat 1/4 cup of fermented sauerkraut, kimchi, or pickles (not made with vinegar) with every meal.
#4: Rest and Sleep
The holidays are stressful with entertaining and travel planning and managing family dynamics and expectations.
Stress = Inappropriate Inflammation.
Focus on getting quality rest and sleep to help your body signal properly to reinstate healthy stress/inflammatory responses.
Remember the Health Formula:
Sugars create Acids >>> Acids create Excessive Inflammation >>> Inappropriate Inflammation causes Dis-Ease >>> Dis-Ease causes Chronic Disease.
Rest and sleep as much as possible to help restore balance, and support detoxification and regeneration.
#5 Move for Momentum
You may feel exhausted and heavy after all of the holiday eating. But, get up and move every day by walking, hiking, running, cycling, swimming, yoga, or pilates to improve circulation, stimulate the lymph, rev up metabolism, improve digestion, aid heart and respiratory health, and drop some of those holiday pounds!
