Mindful Monday: What will you let fall away this New Year?
It’s the time of year when many of us pause and reflect on the year that’s passed and perhaps think ahead at what’s to come. I’ve been reflecting a lot on my year. There were many beautiful moments and memories, incredible new opportunities, fun times, and challenging ones too.
Many things fell away this year in my physical world, and with it, ego structures. I am seeing myself and the world through a much different lens than when I entered 2019.
Life feels simpler. Clear. Another word that keeps coming up to describe my experience is – Crisp. And, I have no time for BS.
This is how I’m entering 2020.
Blessing all people who were part of my life in 2019 and moving into 2020 travelling light.
I know a lot of people choose to make resolutions or set goals – I prefer to set intentions. As I enter 2020 my intentions are very simple.
I am not focusing on outcomes. I am focusing on how I would like to be and show up.
Focusing on love, kindness, compassion, connecting - with myself and with others.
Making myself a priority is my priority. More than ever. Because when I do this I will have so much more to give. I’m excited to bring in more of this simplicity into my work. To share authentically and connect.
This message from spiritual teacher Matt Kahn totally resonates with me…
“Rather than focus on the outcomes you hope to manifest in the new year, take time to decide who you would like to be in your words, actions, and behaviors. An empowered co-creator declares, “No matter the circumstances and outcomes that are meant to be, I will be more______, ________, and _________ to myself and those I encounter.” When we focus too heavily on manifesting outcomes, it turns the future into your next false idol, where you toss your power ahead of you just to have something to chase after.”
This is where I’m at.
When we are aligned with love and kindness, being present, and not so focused on things working out ‘perfectly’, we are in the flow. We are connected to life.
2020 is an energetically powerful year. One that if you are open and ready to receive on a spiritual path, there is so much to offer and gain.
It’s not a year to hide behind your stuff or push it away, this will only create more discomfort.
It’s time to show up. Be real. Express and honour who we are.
I have no idea what 2020 will bring but I do know that whatever shows up, I have the tools and strength to thrive.
I’m all in. I’m excited. Are you?
If finding your focus and setting your intentions for the New Year is a challenge, I’m here to help. This spiritual path we’re each on does not need to be navigated alone. We all need help along the way and are in this together.
When one person changes, all the world changes.
Wishing you love and light in the New Year.
