With the year coming to an end there is a lot to process and digest. It has been a huge year, with a lot of growth, a lot of loss, a lot of opportunities and and a lot of healing. It’s been a year that has resulted in so much expansion and space. It’s been a year where there has been so many hard times and moments where I’ve been tested. Moments where I felt the lowest I could ever feel, but now that I have gotten through I realise that life is a series of events that will bring with them treasures that you can pick up if you wish.
I’ve crossed paths with a lot of great souls this year, there has been interactions that have made me pause and reflect. I’ve played a huge role in the lives of those around me, through my coaching and my work; not realising that my presence and interactions with them has actually changed lives. It’s created inspiration and provided the ripple effect required for them to do what they need to do. There has also been relationships that I’ve had to learn to let go of, some of which wasn’t by choice but that I have to respect is what is meant for me. I have grown in my career and turned a leaf in the book of my Self-Assurance. I’ve achieved goals that felt impossible and that I’d been working towards for over a decade. I’ve discovered my creativity and my authentic Self, it has opened up so much hope in me. I’ve taken steps towards identifying and becoming more values aligned. I’ve fought thoughts and fears that were crippling and have had some of the most special moments of my life so far.
So, where to now? As 2022 comes to an end I feel so blessed for what has come and gone. I am taking a moment to pause and learn from the lessons that have come my way. I’m taking a second to recognise that I’ve not always reacted in the best manner and I’ve had a lot of moments where I let ego drive me. But you can’t focus on the lessons without recognising the growth. There is no such thing as perfection, if I had handled every moment exactly right then there would be no lesson left to learn.
I had moments where there have been doubts and if there is one thing I’m now clear on is how powerful my own thoughts are in impacting my day to day experience. I’ve managed to confront and rewire a few core beliefs but there is SO much work to be done in order for me to set myself free from what has been planted deep within my unconscious mind. I am sure that I will be able to cleanse my mind, body and Soul of all that doesn’t serve me but I have to work hard at it.
So what will 2023 bring? I’m not sure. I’m currently sitting still with the intention word that will help me navigate what ever comes my way. Some contenders are:
- Momentum
- Joy
- Faith
- Embrace
- Feel
- Build
- Create
- Design
- Explore
- Courage
- Let Go
I need to sit with these and see what comes up. One thing is for sure, if I’m blessed to have another year at life then I want to continue on my Soul Journey with presence and gratitude.
Love Always,
