Just as our bodies crave warmth in winter so do our minds and souls. "Hibernation" is a time of looking inward - a time to rekindle the fires of your mind and soul. This is healthy because it allows you to reassess where you are in terms of your goals as well as where you are in your life's journey. We need to light our own fires. There are a number of ways to do this.

Ideas for rekindling the fires of your mind & soul

• Keep a journal
• Read inspiring books
• Have a massage
• See a good movie
• Spend more time with like minded people around warm fire
• Keep a dream journal
• Pamper and nourish yourself
• Set aside time exclusively for YOU - for peace and tranquility
• Listen to music
• Listen to your heart - what is it that inspires you
• Look at what is frustrating you
• Write down your dreams
• Set goals in preparation for spring

All of these ideas energise and nourish the soul. You need "time out" to take stock, and to plant in anticipation of spring, so that by summer your ideas can bear fruit. NOW is the time to light a fire within your mind and soul.
