Hello beautiful readers,
January 19th feels a tad awkward to say ‘Happy New Year!” But January 1st didn’t feel so happy, and it certainly didn’t feel very new.
Chronic pain will do that. The pulsing aching, burning, stabbing, shooting, ‘please dear god just cut it off!’ relentless pain in my arm and shoulder, couldn’t give a fig whether was December 31st or January 1st. Or 2nd or 3rd or even 4th, which are all acceptable times to shout from the roof tops, “Woohoo I’m so excited and pumped and energized-it’s a brand new year, a brand new me-everything is going to be different and amazing-I’m filled with so much hope!” and they are decidedly unacceptable and highly inappropriate times to grumble to yourself like a New Years Scrooge, “This sucks and everything is exactly the same and nothing is gonna change and I feel miserable and completely hopeless!”
So I didn’t bother saying anything. And I didn’t judge myself for not feeling how we are expected to feel just because our made up calendar switches to a new year.
Standing with the horses helped me let go of any lingering judgement as they stood there on jan 1st exactly the same as the had Dec 31st. Nothing changed for them. At all. Nature doesn’t give a damn. But in the most loving way possible, because there is no expectation. You never need to be feel anything different than exactly what you feel. Ever.
In that space of loving acceptance and with the practice of patience, I gave myself the permission to come to the ‘Woo Hoo!’ in perfect and right timing for me.
And so….
WOO-FRICKIN-HOO!! I am so excited about the new possibilities for 2025!
So speaking of new and exciting, here is a Guided Meditation that will help you feel into and cultivate the energy of all the exciting success that is waiting for you in this Brand! New! Year!
If we are not living in the expectation of our highest outcome, then we are merely living in the recreation of our past.
I hope you enjoy the listen and the opportunity to cultivate what you want to generate in 2025.
And please do share with me what you’re exciting about creating this year. I’d love to hear from you!
much love,
Carolyn
