3 key principles for making the most out of your year
Happy New Year People!!
I absolutely love everything about the energy of a new year. I see it as a fresh start, a blank slate, a revived chance, and intentional coming home to self and the present. The year ahead is FULL of possibilities of who we are becoming and what we want to create in our lives. Goosebumps y’all.
We are living in the age of information overload so I wanted to highlight these goodies as I believe whole-heartedly they can and will change your life!
I work from a BE > DO > HAVE model which acknowledges that its less about what you DO to create the life beyond your wildest dreams, its more about who you are BE-ing to make it happen.
There a few key principles, ways of BE-ing, that can help you make the most of your year. These principles will help you get crystal clear on what you want, help you remove blocks getting in your way, lift your energy/ vibration and follow through on the commitments to set for yourself.
3 key principles to making the most out of this year
1.
Like Energy Attracts Like Energy.
Who you are being - your beliefs, thoughts, actions, inaction, etc. have an energetic output which will attract things buzzing with that same vibration. With any goal, dream, intention, you must first be responsible for your energy. One of the most profound ways to raise your vibration is to clean up your thoughts because…
Thoughts > Emotions > Action
Becoming aware of your thoughts, not only provides you the pause to disengage, shift and send a better feeling chemical reaction through your brain and body, but it also raises your energetic output. To shift your reality, to change, to create the life you desire and deserve, you have to clean up your internal world and truly commit to this work. Cleaning up your thoughts will help you feel better and therefore do better. It will make showing up for yourself so much easier, resulting in taking action that makes movement happen.
2.
Identify you Biggest Block.
We all have things holding us back from stepping into our highest potential, our fullest expression and most often these blocks are actually subconscious, meaning outside of our awareness. If you want to make massive shifts in your life, get clear on what’s holding you back and do something about it! In a quiet space, perhaps during a mediation or when journaling (the key is to slow your brain waves down and regulate your nervous system so you can access these hidden truths) ask yourself What is the one thing that, if I’m completely honest with myself, is holding me back from feeling my best and therefore being my best? This could be a pattern, way of being or habit that you feel ashamed about. Or a stuck-ness in negative thought loops where you are drawn to catastrophize, aka prep for worst-case scenarios. Or it could be people-pleasing or perfectionism paralyzing you from taking the necessary action to move forward. Whatever it is, NAME IT OUT LOUD, and without judgement loves. That alone puts distance between it and you allowing you to claim your power back. And naming your block lifts your vibration because you are taking responsibility for yourself and your outcomes.
3.
Choose to See the Opportunity!
ou have probably heard sayings such as Challenges are detours in the right direction or From the dark comes the light. In my words, the magic is in the mess, the beauty is in the becoming. What all of this means to me is that you are here on this Earth during this time for a reason and everything that comes into your life is on purpose. It’s here to teach you a lesson, to guide you along the journey of life. You are reading this right now for a reason. You are being guided to the work you are ready for to make the most of this one wild and precious life. When we work through lessons we level up. We learn what we’re truly made of and what matters most to us. Therefore there are no problems, only opportunities. And chancing your mindset to see challenges as such will absolutely change your life. When we shift from the thought Why is this happening to me to This must be happening for me we raise our vibration, feel more empowered and this fuels our problem solving superpowers and our confidence in ourselves. Are you starting to see how all of this is connected? Every difficult thing we face is an opportunity to grow, expand, choose again and become the truest you living consciously. This is powerful stuff my friends!!
Commit to the process.
The process of taking control of your happiness, success, and wellness are all on you. This was one of the most brutal truths I had to face in my development process. We are in charge of our own destiny. If we want to feel better, we have to take committed action. We have to change. If we want different we have to be different and this is the WORK! If it feels hard, it’s because you’re doing it right. But you’re worth it. Show up for yourself every single day and watch your life transform in unimaginable ways. Set an intention of what you want this year, what shift you want to make, how you want to feel, what you want from life. Then, build a routine and ritual around taking action to make said thing happen. Put it in your calendar and protect it fiercely. Enlist an accountability partner. Stack new and healthy habits on top of existing habits. Follow people who inspire you and have the life you want to live. Check in with your progress often. Be resilient and get back on the train if you fall off and most important CHOOSE TO SEE THE ENOUGH-NESS in yourself, others and your life already. Feel gratitude for who you already are and all that you have as that attracts more of what you want. When we pause to notice the good we feel better, raise our energy and literally rewire our brains.
