February is the Real Test

Keep going … you are doing better than you think!

This came into my inbox this morning from a mushroom gummy company called Mojo. I use their gummies for helping me sleep and also to calm me down when stressed or when I need an energetic boost. I’m not one to support advertising here, but these words really resonated on this cold February day. Their products are good too ❣️


If January is about ambition, February is about endurance.

The plans are still there.

The goals are still valid.

But the novelty is gone, the weather’s bad, and your motivation didn’t get the memo.

That’s not weakness.

That’s biology + calendar math.

February is the month that quietly exposes whether your systems work when excitement doesn’t.

So don’t ask:

“Why don’t I feel motivated?”

Ask:

“What keeps me moving when motivation dips?”

This is the part of the year where:

✅ routines matter more than inspiration
✅  energy management beats hype
✅  showing up counts more than showing off

You don’t need to feel fired up this week.

You just need to stay in motion.

February rewards the people who don’t quit early.

And that advantage compounds fast.

Stay steady. Keep moving. 

You’re doing better than you think.


Stay in motion and breathe, and keep showing up.

… Now that’s better!

    The year of the horse 🐎 is already showing me to discover my endurance, hope and resilience within when movement and inner knowing slows down. 🙏🏻

    Very wise words, Val. I’m thinking of printing them out and posting them where I can read them for the rest of the month!

    A great booster for the month Val. May those cold bits begin to diminish, the sunshine stand tall, and love warm us that much more in believing in ourselves 🤗❤️🙏

      Thank you so much Mark 💞. I do appreciate how you can attune and channel your southern hemisphere vibes to our northern stoicism. It’s a breath of sunshine to be sure ☀️😎☀️
