“The power to change the world has been inside you all along” –
(Barbie in Princess Power, 2015).
Go ahead… Give yourself a pat on the back because you’ve made it! You’ve made it through the whole year of 2022, you went through all the ups and downs and stayed strong the entire time! Nope, DO NOT SAY YOU’VE ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING. Take that back and give yourself some credit for how much you overcame. For how much you fight. For how much you try and for the time you take to care for your overall health. Let’s start the new year on a positive, clean slate together, shall we? 😉 These manifestations are about to come into reality so, let’s get down to how we can make your 2023 BETTER than your 2022.
- To Find Balance, Embrace the Imbalance
In Ancient Chinese philosophy, Yin and Yang is a concept of dualism; push and pull, life and death, good and bad. The two qualities oppose each other while at the same time complement each other. We can try to find the perfect life, perfect moments, but there’s no such as thing as ‘perfect’ as one cannot exist without the other. So put your feet up and relax. Forget for a moment about the world around and just take few deep breaths. In… and out… and again… Ahhhh… Now listen. The power to change how you see yourself and how you want your world to be, have been inside you all along.
We can try to go overboard, but in the end, we might end up falling over. We can try to do nothing, but in the end, you’ll achieve nothing. Get the picture? Balance and moderation are always lessons to keep in mind and it’s crucial to know when you need to dial it down or turn up the heat. The decision is yours to make 2023, yours.

- Health is Wealth
Your health is your wealth, as they say. And it’s true – without good health, it’s difficult to enjoy all the other wonderful things life has to offer. This is where you need to break the unhealthy habits that could jeopardise your overall well-being since the power to change your lifestyle has been inside you all along. This includes… no more skipping your hunger cues, no more living in a sedentary lifestyle and most importantly no more staying up late! You heard me, night owls. If you struggle to recharge and sleep well, give Hair Care Bear Sweet Dreams Gummies over a three-month period to enjoy the benefits. That should reset your sleep energy.
Your body is your temple. Own it. Don’t neglect it.

- Don’t be a Lone Ranger
This is something that everyone keeps forgetting and some people just aren’t ready for this conversation, but we are humans and humans are social creatures. We need to be seen, heard, cared for. It’s essential to have a strong support network that you can depend on and connect to. So, get this in your head! You’re not alone. If you need support, it’s out there. You just need to let them in because the power to manipulate your support system is inside you all along.
It’s safe to say we can’t tackle life alone as the chances of struggling are higher than when we have support around… but quote-unquote from everyone’s favourite Netflix TV show, Wednesday, “Go for Quality over Quantity”! 😉

- Do Good to Feel Great
Ever heard of “What you give is what you get”? Effort never lies. If we constantly scan for opportunities to act of generosity, not only our minds will be improved, but also the perspectives of how we see the world and the people around us, that’s guaranteed. It’s relatively hard to be a bad person when you’re always planning for your next big kindness gesture, don’t you think? So… the question is, “For whom we shall do good deeds?”. It’s not complicated, really. The answers have been inside you all along which include yourself, people you care about, animals and the most underrated statement, our Mother Earth.
