Unfrazzle yourself

Join me on my January Self-Reset

By the end of the year, I have often forgotten who I am or what the plan is or where I’m going or what I wanted when I last had time to think about that. So I often use January to gather all my bits together and figure out what I want next.

I did this for the first time at the end of 2014 when I was a frazzled, financial, slightly hysterical mess as a result of trying to single parent while freelancing in a field that is notoriously badly paid. I needed to push pause on everything and work out what I actually, really, truly, deeply wanted. Not what I thought would be best. Or the quickest shortcut to getting rich. Or other people’s ideas of what I should do. But what the very deepest and wisest part of me knew that it needed in order for the shallowest and least-wise part of me to become unfrazzled.

I have created Self-Reset as a way to find my way back to a path that makes sense at the beginning of each year.

In January, I will be doing a Self-Reset again, but this year I am opening it up to Founder Member subscribers to my Love Letter.

January Self-Reset

Over the years, I have presented many workshops for writers and aspiring writers. I will be drawing on this experience to help you enter 2023 feeling clear-headed.

What you will get:

• A commitment from yourself to yourself to start the year with introspection.

• Some probing questions to access what you’ve had to suppress in the past year to deal with life as it happens.

• 30 opportunities to turn inwards to access underlying desires or concerns you haven’t had time for this year.

• 30 prompts to guide you on your Self-Reset.

• Access to me via Substack chats, comments and emails discussions and debriefing.

• Zero pressure. Do as much or as little as you want to.

What it entails

• From 1 January to 30 January, you will spend about half an hour a day doing some thinking about where you are and where you want to go next.

• It can be any time of the day that suits you.

• You don’t have to do it every day.

• You can do it for longer than half an hour if you want to go deeper.

What you will need

• Paper. Pens. Maybe scissors and glue and paint if you want to get more hands-on with your thinking. But just paper and pen will suffice.

• Half an hour a day

• A place to be alone.

What you will do

• Every day, you will receive a prompt from me to which you will respond.

• You will write – not in order to become a writer (necessarily) but in order to find a way back into yourself before the new year hits hard.

• Some days you will do simple creative exercises with easy-to-find materials.

• Your responses are private. You won’t be asked to share them unless you want to.

Please join me and let’s get into new year feeling like we know where we’re going. And why we want to go there.
