Happy Tuesday, lovely!
Hope your first week wrapped up awesome and the second one is off to a great start as well.
🍃Today’s Topic: Staying in your flow
First thing to not forget:
Your flow is your flow.
Meaning if you hadn’t been feeling the official year start yet, don’t fret. Keep processing and integrating what 2022 was and represented for you. No one’s timeline define yours.
💫 And for anyone that keeps an eye on the stars {but lightly 😆} like me: by the overall forecast – cosmic wise – we are still on the wrapping up energy of ending 2022 {the full moon and its release we just had} and the forward moving will be felt on the 21st and on.
So let yourself sink in in wherever energy you are feeling right now and don’t rush into the “doing” mode that beginning of the years always push us into. Tune in to feel your pace.
Now having said that, on with the second tip about flow:
Things *can* and *do* fall into place just like that.
But the “just like that” needs some shaping up.
The starting point of everything first: Clarity!
👉🏼 Clarity on what your end result looks like and specially feels like because you won’t know what you are aiming at or moving towards if you don’t have the final destination in mind.
And to get that crystal clear on that?
✍🏼 Grab your trusty pen + fave notebook, roll up your sleeves and start answering the questions:
▸ what is it you want to change?
▸ why is it not working?
▸ what do you want it to be instead? {reads - the final result!}
▸ why you want it that way? << super important here as it will show you and reinforce the goodness that will come out of it. Which in turn will help you ground yourself in believing that this change is not just necessary but inevitable.
I’d love to hear/read all the goodness that comes out of this exercise! 🤩
I’m right here on the other side of the screen ready to read it all 🤓 post in the comments and let me know, love!
Smooches,
This was so accessible and so helpful. I started with a casual list of 7 items I want to change. Then I spent a page on why each item wasn’t already as I wanted it to be (so 7 pages). This inspired the side quest of a journal entry, because when we hold ourselves back usually it is because of irrational beliefs. I then made a casual list of what I wanted those 7 items to look like instead. Then 3 more pages further detailing what that would look like. Then a page with a sentence for each of the 7 items explaining why I want them to be different.
This exercise delved into identity within the world, reassessing the relevance of long held personal values, the importance of taking breaks, and self expression. What I intended to be essentially the creation of a small listicle about my 2023 intentions ended up being an hour and a half deep dive into how I want the rest of my life to go.
Erin, this is wonderful!! I am so glad you dove deep like this. Truly amazing! Seeing clearly where we are at {the good and bad} is so important to be able to move forward intentionally. Awesome work! 👏🏼✨
