Another year has begun. There is fresh new energy and possibilities all around, just waiting to be harnessed. Many people will be excited and feel energized and ready to make things happen in 2019. On the flip side, there will also be many who are relieved that 2018 has come to an end. The year was difficult, challenging or painful in significant ways for them.
Then there will be some who are not looking for the ‘happy’ New Year, but are in need of some hope for the year ahead. I know how that feels. I’ve had many years like that in my life. And I’m so thankful that I was able to find hope when I needed it the most. No matter where we are in our journey we can always use a little hope!
For me 2018 was a year of greater movement toward awareness and freedom in different areas of my life. This past year I found myself making some changes I hadn’t planned, but when the opportunity for change appeared I honoured and followed it, and I am so glad I did.
There was one significant change that I made because I had arrived at a new vibrational state that could uphold the change. The new freedom I have created for myself has been both surprising and incredible. I’m constantly reminded of these little freedom experiences and they feel really good. I’ve thought about the way things used to be a couple of times, wondering how it might feel to put that old coat back on. Even the thought of it feels tight and restrictive, no thank you! I choose to keep my flexibility and freedom, because now that’s more important to me.
Intentions Instead of Resolutions
I have not made New Year’s resolutions in many years. For me, I’m not in alignment with them, and understanding that is very freeing for me. However, I do make plans for the coming year. I have intentions and I will change these intentions if I feel I need to. Because I’m consistently doing my internal work, my vibrational state may change from the time I made the intention or plans. It could be quite different in a week, month or months as I am constantly evolving and giving myself permission to course correct based on my present vibrational state. That could mean letting something go, or really amping up some of my original intention and plans.
I know for many change is very uncomfortable (thank goodness for tapping) and course correcting can feel quite scary in a world that often insists on ‘finish what you start’. I’m so grateful to have found a way to move beyond that belief so I can honour me, my personality and my soul.
Wishing you a hope filled New Year where ever you are in your journey!
