Hello dear you,
How are you? How has your week been? I hope you are well.
Tomorrow is the last day of 2018 and 2019 is presenting itself! That means it’s time to think about what you would like to start up in the new year (if you haven’t done so already). What are your intentions? What are your dreams? What do you want to create? What do you want to change the next year?
What do you want to create in 2019?
Are your plans still quite vague or are they more concrete?
And what do you think you need to do to make your ideas come to life?
Please let me know, I would love to read and respond. Taking time now to think about this is good. Take that time and write down in the comments what you want to create in 2018 and what you would need to make that happen. You never know who reads it and may be able to help you, connect you or has some other guidance for you. Do share. This is the first step to creation, planting your seeds.
Shiny and new
A lot of people set resolutions for the new year and often they don’t come to fruition. The resolutions remain a mental concept and we forget to take action. Without being clear about the benefits of your resolutions and a clear plan on how you want to reach your goal, you will not get very far. Personally I am done planning, I choose to set intentions of how I want to show up, what I want to experience and how I want to feel. This brings so much clarity and helps me say no to everything that doesn’t fit this energy I am aiming for and it helps me recognize what I do want when it presents itself in my life, so I can give it a big YES! This comes so much more natural and takes less effort and grit.
To start the new year all clean and fresh, we need to leave behind all that is dragging us down. Take time to review, to really review, don’t rush this. And ask yourself these questions (and others you would like to add – please share if you like!)
- Which emotions are holding you down/have a tight grip on you?
- Which thoughts/thought patterns do you keep recycling?
- Which convictions/beliefs are you living by?
- Which stories do you keep repeating to yourself and others?
- How is your energy flowing in your body?
- How do you want to live life?
- What makes your heart beat faster?
- How is your connection with your Higher Self? With your true self? With your heart?
Do you dare surrender to the life you are meant to life, which means truly listen to your Higher Self. Do you dare surrender to who you truly are? Or do you want to stay safe = the same.
Be honest with yourself, you are not doing this for me or anyone else, this is for you. For you to ask yourself how and if you want to step into your greatness? And what that looks like for you.
Let go of all that doesn’t fit this picture. Give it to 2018 and let it be a vague memory of the past. Reinvent yourself and step outside of your comfort zone, because that is where expansion starts.
Commit
I write these blogposts as much for myself as for you. I need to write down my lessons learnt and reflect. And I hope by writing them down they stick (longer) and I can re-commit. The past weeks it has become clear again that for me it important to set clear intentions and to set clear boundaries. I noticed that again in the past weeks. I need to protect my time and energy and not let people walk over me or abuse my good intentions. I need to be clear on what I want and go for it fully. I need to commit. A word that scares the bejesus out of me. Commitment. But you know what to commit doesn’t mean set in stone forever. You commit for now with your best intentions and for the good of all involved and you go for it. Whatever it is, a relationship, a job, a project, whatever. But it doesn’t mean forever. The energy, relationships, you, we all shift, we all change. Readjustment is so key otherwise we become stale, old and dead inside. We need to shift with the tides. So do what you want to do right now and commit? Go for it. What makes you happy?
You rock!
Make sure you set clear boundaries for yourself and the people around you. Communicating them is super important. People will not intuitively feel where you draw the line. You need to speak up. Do not be afraid people won’t understand or not like you anymore. Most people respect other people that stick up for themselves and are clear on what they can deliver. Don’t be too modest. Because you rock!!! Right?!
Life is all about balance. Keep coming back to that state that you feel well and stable. What in your life is bringing you out of equilibrium? What needs to change? You know. You may not want to see it (yet) but you know. You feel what needs to leave.
It is time to step it up. Surround yourself with people that support you and go for it. Let the nay sayers go and do not feed the trolls. Focus on what makes you happy and where you feel you can shine your brightest light.
Happy creating!
