Spirit &Soul

Close the year with love.

This has been a trying year for many. From ups and downs to uncertainty, it’s truly been a lesson for all of us in surrendering, and an opportunity for reflection and growth. 2020 has been a year to go within to see if there are changes that need to be made and to take stock of what’s important to your well-being. You may have experienced a mix of emotions this year ranging from frustration, fear, depression to hope and optimism. Perhaps, you have suffered losses this year. Loss of a loved one, job, relationship or opportunity. However, a new year is before you. A new year with a fresh opportunity to clean the slate, purge what no longer serves you and honor your soul.

As the year comes to a close, it’s an opportunity for you to take stock. Where are you in your life? Are you feeling fulfilled? Are you happy? If you answered “no” to either of these questions, it’s time to reevaluate your life to see what needs to change in order to turn those “no’s” into “yesses”. Go through each area of your life. Look at career, relationships, finance, health and soul purpose. Most times when one area is out of balance, it impacts another area as well. Be honest with yourself in this process. This is an opportunity for you to get back on course with the new year on the horizon. Is there any area that feels “off” or out of alignment? Any area that brings sadness to your heart? Any area that you do not feel excited about?

If you are unhappy for any reason, ask yourself what would you need to adjust in order to create that happiness and fulfillment you desire? Are you listening to your soul, or are you being held prisoner by fear? Change is difficult for many people as it forces them to let go of stability, even for a moment, to move in the direction of the unknown. However, you have your intuition to guide you. When you get that nudge, that feeling in the pit of your stomach, listen to it, follow it. Take the time to really sit with yourself with the intention of clarity so that you can receive these moments of inspiration. It’s not about knowing it all at once. It’s about following the little nudges that you get along the way, until they link together to give you the full picture.

Before the year ends, forgive yourself for any past mistakes. You are having a physical experience and mistakes are not only allowed, they are welcomed. They are literally a part of your soul’s growth and expansion. They are needed to teach you invaluable lessons of perseverance, boundaries and self-love. Have the courage to cut the cords with those who don’t deserve your energy. Do not beg these people to love you, and trust that not everyone is meant to be in your tribe. Stand in your power for the upcoming year, as you are a fierce being with a purpose and the new year is your opportunity to rise up.

adjustments. Eliminate the tendency to be a people pleaser and focus on your higher self. Listen to the whisper deep within and spread those wings of yours and fly. Create an action plan and implement it with confidence. When you are connected to your soul, you will be guided in the right direction that leads you to the peace and joy you desire. No one is more deserving than you. So remember your calling, even when faced with challenges.
