NEW YEAR, NEW ME – A HALF-DAY WELLBEING RESET

How many times have you started a new year with big plans, ambitious resolutions and a promise that THIS is going to be your year?

You'll get fitter. Eat better. Be more organised. Work harder. Finally start that project. Spend more time on yourself. Stop procrastinating. Become a better version of yourself…

And then February arrives. Your motivation disappears, your to-do list is growing, and those January promises have somehow become a distant memory. Sound familiar?

But what if the problem isn't that you lack motivation or discipline?

What if you're spending so much time thinking about what you should be doing that you've lost touch with what you actually want?

What if, instead of putting more pressure on yourself to change, you gave yourself a little space to pause, reflect and reconnect with what matters?

This year, let's do things differently. 🤍

I'd love to invite you to a special half-day wellbeing experience in the beautiful surroundings of Yogacita Yoga Studio, right in the heart of Liverpool's vibrant Baltic Triangle.

This isn't another goal-setting workshop or an opportunity to fill your diary with even more things to achieve.

It's a chance to step away from everyday responsibilities, slow down and give yourself some uninterrupted time to think about the life you want to create.

We'll combine psychology-informed reflection, mindfulness, creativity and deep relaxation to help you leave feeling clearer, calmer and more connected to yourself.

1. Pause, reflect and reconnect with yourself

We'll begin by creating space to reflect on where you are right now. What's been taking up your energy? What would you like more of in your life? What are you ready to let go of?

Through guided reflection and journalling, we'll explore what matters to you beyond the usual expectations and pressures of everyday life.

2. Discover what really matters – your personal values

Have you ever stopped to think about whether the goals you're chasing are actually YOUR goals?

We'll explore personal values and how they can help you make decisions, set meaningful intentions and create a sense of direction. Rather than focusing purely on what you want to achieve, we'll look at how you want to feel and the kind of life you want to move towards.

3. Imagine your ideal day and future

What would an ordinary day look like if your life felt more balanced, fulfilling and aligned with what matters to you?

Through a guided visualisation, you'll have the opportunity to imagine your ideal day, reconnect with your hopes and dreams and explore what small changes could bring you closer to that vision.

4. Create your own vision board 🎨

This is where we'll bring some of those ideas to life!

We'll get creative and put together personal vision boards using images, words, colours and meaningful reminders of what you'd like to invite into your life.

Creating a vision board is more than just cutting out pretty pictures. It's an opportunity to make your intentions visible, explore what inspires you and give yourself something tangible to return to when everyday life gets busy.

You don't need to be artistic or creative – just come with an open mind!

5. Slow down and deeply relax with Yoga Nidra 🧘‍♀️

We'll finish with a beautiful guided Yoga Nidra practice – a deeply restful experience that invites you to slow down, release tension and give your mind and body a chance to rest.

No rushing off to the next thing. No demands. Just time to relax and enjoy the moment.

Throughout the event, there'll also be tea, coffee and snacks to enjoy. ☕🍪

My hope is that you'll leave with more than a beautiful vision board.

You'll have:

• A clearer understanding of what genuinely matters to you.
• A fresh perspective on the year ahead.
• Personal intentions that feel meaningful and realistic.
• A visual reminder of your hopes, dreams and aspirations.
• Ideas for small, practical steps towards the life you want.
• A little more space to breathe, reflect and reconnect with yourself.

And perhaps most importantly, the reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out, achieve everything on your list or become someone else to make this year meaningful.

I'm Paula, a BABCP-accredited CBT psychotherapist and wellbeing retreat facilitator. I've been working in mental health since 2017, and I'm passionate about helping people understand themselves better, navigate life's challenges and create more balance and meaning in their lives.

Over the years, I've had the pleasure of organising and facilitating numerous wellbeing retreats and events, several of which have sold out. I've brought together women for experiences combining mindfulness, reflection, movement, creativity and relaxation.

The feedback has been incredibly positive, with participants often sharing how much they appreciated having time away from their everyday responsibilities, reconnecting with themselves, meeting like-minded women and simply being able to switch off.

Some have described the experiences as deeply meaningful, relaxing and even transformative. Those moments are exactly why I love creating these spaces. ❤️

I bring my experience as a psychotherapist into my workshops, combining psychological approaches with practical wellbeing activities in a warm, welcoming and down-to-earth way.

Spaces are limited to keep the experience welcoming and personal.

If you've been feeling stuck in the same routines, overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities, disconnected from yourself or simply craving a little time that is just for YOU, this could be exactly what you need.

Come on your own or bring a friend. You don't need any previous yoga, meditation or creative experience. Just bring yourself, an open mind and perhaps a few dreams you've been putting on hold.

You don't need another January resolution. You deserve a moment to reconnect with the life you actually want.

Let's make 2027 a little less about pressure and a little more about purpose. ✨

I'd love to welcome you!

Paula 🤍
