We are at the beginning of February, and it’s the first pit stop on our 2023 nudist journey. It’s a moment to look at the gauges and what they tell us about our progress.

I’m gauging my progress on a four-level scale:

  • ++ I’m ahead. I can relax, while keeping an eye on it, but devote more time to more pressing goals.
  • + I’m on track. It’s great, I need to keep the pressure to keep on track.
  • I’m slightly behind. This requires my attention and I need to spend more time and energy on this.
  • I’m really behind. This requires my immediate attention and requires that I take tangible actions, with more time and energy.

So here I am on my goals and magical triplets (for all explanations about those goals and triplets, how to set and monitor them, I encourage you to read Happy Nude Year!)

Key Learnings from the First Month:

The Good

  • Finding peace with my naturist lifestyle
    • Despite the challenges posed by my heavy workload and inclement winter weather, I have found peace and comfort in embracing a naturist lifestyle.
    • I have been able to make time for full-day nudity, which has added to my sense of peace and well-being.
  • Increased involvement in naturist activities
    • I have become more involved in naturist communities, writing, and activities.
    • I have also formed partnerships with naturist organizations, which has helped me feel more alive and connected to the naturist community.
  • Positive impact on physical and mental health
    • My focus on physical and mental health through daily exercise has had a noticeable impact on my life.
    • It has improved my sleep, productivity, and mood, which has had a positive impact on my overall well-being.

The Bad

  • Balancing work and personal relationships
    • I still struggle with finding a balance between my work and personal relationships.
    • I dedicate insufficient time to my friends and family, which I aim to improve in the future.
  • Creating a nudist-friendly home environment
    • I need to work on creating a home environment that is more conducive to nudism.
    • This will help me encourage visiting friends to try naturism and make my home a more comfortable space for me and others.
  • Cultivating joy and positivity
    • Although my overall mood has improved, I plan to take further steps to cultivate joy and positivity in my life.
    • I will add a new meditation practice focused on increasing joie de vivre and positivity, which I believe will help me feel more joyful throughout the day.

The first few months of the year have been very promising and I am glad to report that there have been no “ugly” aspects so far. While it’s still early in the year, I am not one to give up easily and I believe that any objectives or goals that have not been met can still be recovered. I am not dropping anything, but rather re-evaluating and re-planning some of my February and March naked (or not) activities. This re-evaluation will allow me to turn any negatives into positives and make better use of my time.

I am confident that this re-planning will lead to even more progress and joy in my life. By focusing on the things that matter most and making sure that I am utilizing my time effectively, I am setting myself up for success in life in general and in naturism in particular. I am looking forward to continuing to work hard and see the positive outcomes of this re-planning and re-evaluation in the coming months.

  1. Hang in there. The gloom and cold of winter gives everyone a challenge to stay positive & optomistic! Have you made a place in your quarters for a “warm room” in which you can be happily bare for at least a few hours each week?
