Hello New Year, and thank you (universe) for this next set of days, weeks, and months for us to unravel! Happy New Year, everyone!
What excites you about the new year? Yes, I know, another year rolls around. The prospect of new intentions, new goals, and fresh adventures creates a certain bubble of excitement and potential. It’s a contagious energy I enjoy savoring.
At the beginning of a new year, I enjoy making a list of intentions. These might include goals, new habits I want to establish, I even include some targets for developing my soul. Then, each week, I take a few moments to review my list and note my progress. Sometimes, at the beginning of a year, my intentions may be clear to go in one direction, and then as the days and weeks unfold, my direction might shift or change. That’s all good. The marvelous thing about intentions is they can be as fluid or rigid as you choose for them to be.
Reviewing these ambitions regularly keeps the excitement fresh. You probably notice that after the newness of something wears off, the energy of it changes. Revisiting my intentions revitalizes them. I keep the ‘new year’ energy present in my review to be sure the pilot lights are still burning bright. How do you do that? What do you do to keep this sparkling fresh energy alive while keeping your aspirations in focus?
I focus on my yearly wish list in terms of intentions, rather than resolutions. Sometimes a resolution is the right ambition, but I like the energy that comes from following an intention. It focuses my target from a positive perspective, and I feel like I’m actively pursuing what I want. That’s juicy, good, yummy living!
Whatever your picture is for 2023, I’m sending you the best of fortune as life unfolds and moves forward.
Continue ReadingGoodbye year / hello year. WOW! Can it be that 2022 is this close to winding down? When did it come to pass that this new year upon us is 2023? It happens in a flash!
We can take this concept of one year passing and another year spawning and scale it down to smaller bits. Perhaps we can gaze upon a retiring month and the start of a new one. Or think of a week winding down and a new one ramping up. Sometimes it is a matter of days ending and new ones beginning, or perhaps moments closing and new ones bubbling to the surface. Pick one that works for you at this moment.
This cyclical idea is a gift in our linear world. There is a natural rhythm that happens when something ends and something new comes to life. I love how our seasons change in this way. Autumn ends and plants go to sleep for winter; winter comes to a close and the sleeping plants wake up. You get the idea. It is a cadence that helps us to take the events in our lives and allow them to change. I feel hope when I think about this idea from a perspective of things working in our lives and the freedom this gives us to let go of what is no longer useful.
Allow this outlook to be present in our thoughts to see liberating, new ideas illuminate. Perhaps something you’re angry about motivates you to make a change. There is a time and place for that anger, and it is okay to feel it. And then, there is a balancing peace that surfaces, which invites us to let go of that anger and turn our energies toward more peaceful ideas. Oh sigh. It is an amazing gift. It’s the holidays — let’s enjoy this gift!
Goodbye year / hello year. As 2022 comes to its conclusion and 2023 makes itself visible, I send you enormous baskets of love. I sincerely wish for you all the wonders you desire.
