We are over halfway through the first month of 2023! It continues to be a time of celebration and excitement… of pleasure and possibilities. This is also a perfect time for reflection and feeling into what you truly desire to create as you move into this new year. It’s the perfect time of year for those of us who choose to be conscious co-creators. It’s the time to take stock of what was created, what worked well, what didn’t turn out as planned, and what you learned that you will take with you into the New Year. Setting the intention for what 2023 can be is a huge energetic statement. This doesn’t need to be a daunting task though. The more playful you can be with the process, the better. Here is the process I like to take myself through. Feel free to use it, or adapt it to make it more you. The important thing is to do it! CHOOSE to make 2023 the year that you create your most delicious life to date!
Step 1 is all about celebration. Take the time to journal all the wonderful things/experiences that 2022 held. And while the past year may have been stressful for whatever reason, there are wonderful things that happened for you as well if you are willing to look for them! What are you most proud of? Why? How much have you grown? What did you do that you’ve never done before? Allow yourself to revel in the energy of celebration. What you’ve accomplished is awesome and needs to be recognized! By acknowledging all the wonderful things/experiences, you are energetically telling the Universe/God(ess)/Source that you are ready for more good things to come into your experience.
Step 2 is all about recognizing the lessons, the shifts, what you’ve learned. What beliefs needed to shift for you? What fears, if any, did you overcome? If you judged something as having “stopped” you, re-examine that experience to decipher what you learned from it. Did it promote further clarity? Did it highlight a mindset you needed to cultivate? What did you take away from it that will propel you forward? What qualities did these experiences ask you to examine within yourself or cultivate anew? Express your gratitude for all you’ve learned. These are gifts and while you may not have asked for them directly, you gained valuable knowledge/insight and that is something for you to appreciate and express your gratitude. When you bask in the energy of appreciation and gratitude, which is a very high vibration, it puts you into alignment with all your desires…everything you want to create. We all know how powerful the energy of appreciation is!
The third and final step is all about designing what you want 2023 to bring. Examine the five major areas (houses) of your life:
Personal
Spiritual
Financial
Work/Career/Business
Relationships
Spend time imagining what you want in those areas. Make the images rich, real for you. Utilize all 5 senses. Let your imagination take you. If you do this process via meditation, journal the images/scenes you create in your mind. Once you’ve done this for all 5 areas, it’s time to write your gratitude letter. This letter is to be dated December 2023. Write out all the images/scenes that you created as though they’ve already happened, making sure to consistently indicate how happy and thankful you are for all those wonderful things/experiences and how deeply meaningful and fulfilling they were. Once the letter is written to your satisfaction, clearly communicating all you are looking to create in 2023, put it into an envelope, seal it and put it away. Imagine how much fun it will be to pull it out and open it up in December 2023 and see all that came to pass!
I hope you have a lot of fun with this exercise. If you did it for 2022, take out your letter and read it, if you haven't already! What came to pass? I cannot wait to hear about the wonderful lives you are creating in 2023. I wish all of you a happy, healthy, abundant and delicious 2023!
Call to Action
My mentor’s request to you is that you take yourself through this process and really look at:
What worked?
What didn’t work?
What did you learn?
What will you do differently in 2023?
How will you choose to create in 2023?
As always, please feel free to share your “AHAs” with me. However, if this type of a process is something you struggle with OR you start out the year “On Fire” but lose steam as the year progresses, then you want to listen closely as I have 2 opportunities to share with you.
My work is for the professional woman who is ready to own and embrace ALL of herself (the good, the bad, and the ugly), Embrace her Core Goddess Energies and fully embody them, who knows what it means to invest in herself and is ready, willing, and able to do so. She is ready to get off the hamster wheel and get on with all she knows she is here to do. She's tired of getting in her own way. She understands her energy is paramount to getting things done. She MUST be aligned or she fizzles out. If this sounds like you and you are ready to dig DEEP to uncover what gets in the way of your desires energetically, I have space for 2 Private Clients as we enter 2023! Just reach out to me and we'll have a chat to explore the possibilities around working privately with me.
The second opportunity is a 12 week journey in sacred circle called Dancing with the Dark Goddess. The purpose of this circle is to journey with your Shadow with the help of 6 Goddess Energies. We will meet weekly via Zoom and spend 2 weeks with each Goddess Energy. Of course, DANCE is featured throughout! This group will begin in February 2023 and run through April 2023. If this program feels in alignment for you, I invite you to reach out to me , and we'll have a chat to explore the possibilities around your participation in this very special group program!
I look forward to serving you in 2023!
