Setting Down Your Burdens

I have an odd fondness for the first few weeks of January.

I like that all the holiday hubbub is behind us. I also like that there is a bit of raw emptiness to this time of year. It feels spacious, and I weirdly enjoy that it's kind of cold and gets dark early. It's like we get permission from nature to do less.

So in this spirit of doing less, this week's invitation explores the idea of setting down your burdens, at least for a short time. The introduction to this practice touches on a few ways this might look, and I would love to hear what you might be interested in "putting down" for a while. May it be of benefit.
