Happy New Year!
I took some time away last month to help reevaluate and reenergize myself for the year ahead. I've taken the time to really understand what I want and what is most important to me but I am back! As the new year has begun, we often get caught up in what resolution we want to redo for another year. But honestly, what's more important than that is really seeing what you want for the year ahead, who you want to be, and your why – what you want the purpose behind this year to be or define what you want your purpose to be this year.
Reflecting on 2023: A Rough Year
I don’t know about you, but 2023 was rough for me. Things didn’t go according to any kind of plan and honestly took a lot out of me. But one thing that the time off I had has made clear is that I won’t allow this year to be the same. It is time for us to follow our dreams, our excitement, our joy, and our happiness. There is one thing I have decided to follow this year, and that is my excitement and to move towards the things that make me feel alive. What about you? What do you want to follow, or what do you want the theme of this year to be for you? Freedom? Joy? Happiness? Peace? Excitement? Alignment?
Forget the 'Shoulds'
There are loads of people telling you online what this year should be, how to make this year successful, what to do from the beginning to the end of the year. And you can follow their advice, but for a moment or for a day, forget about what you should do, who you should be, or why you should do it. For a moment or a day or two, forget about the 'shoulds,' and start thinking about what you really want, what is calling you, and start thinking about what you want your year to be. Forget for a moment what you think would be impossible, forget about the fears, forget about the doubts.
A Call for Hope and Resilience
If you had a year like mine, I wouldn’t be surprised if you want to give up and throw in the towel, but you might just miss the miracle on its way to you if you do. Be proud of who you were and that you made it to another year. You might be bruised and battered down, but you have the power in you to get back up; we all do. No matter what you've gone through, there is always another step to take, and there is a reason you're still here.
The Power of Hope
No matter what has happened to me over the years, there is always one thing that has kept me going, and that is hope. Have hope for a better tomorrow, hope moment by moment you are closer to where you want to be, and where you're meant to be. Have hope and faith that no matter what, receiving what you want is possible, that your dreams are possible, and that who you want to be is possible. And whatever you do this year, don’t forget to dream, to believe, to have hope, to have faith, to see your power, and to allow yourself to create and receive the reality you want.
Visualising Your Year Ahead
What do you want this year to be for you? You can make a list of what you want this year, but for a moment, think, what do you want this year to be? Visualize what you want this year to be, how you want to be, who you want to be with, and forget about what you don’t want. Stop thinking about what you don’t want and start believing in yourself and what you do want.
Embracing Hope for the Year Ahead
Whatever you make of this year or whatever you follow this year, I hope it's fabulous; I hope it is everything you have wished for. Sometimes when things get hard, it is hard to see a way, but it isn’t about forcing a way but believing there is a way for whatever you want. You might not see how it is possible, but it is, whatever it is that you want. Often when it gets too much, it is about taking a step back and realigning with your highest good, what you want, or your highest self. May this year be one to remember, full of blessings, abundance, positive energy, love, and hope. May you smile more than you frown, believe more than you doubt, and love more than you hurt.
Have an incredible year ahead.
That is it for now! I hope this has helped!
