Happy New Year

It seems as though a lot of people have a “word of the year” for 2024.


I do not.  {at least not really}


I was thinking about it and then realized that I was forcing something quite meaningful upon myself from some kind of external expectation.  A true form of FOMO.  


I am not keen on New year resolutions.  It is not the time for it.  We are in winter.  This is the time for going deep within.  Hibernation.  We just entered winter.  Let’s love winter by honoring its slowness.


It just so happened that while I was brushing my teeth on the morning of January 1, two words actually became super present in my heart.  


UN-DO

NURTURE


The voice of my heart said, “just work with this for right now.  It will change.”


On January 1 2024 I did something significant for me.  I got rid of a piece of furniture.  A couch to be precise.  I never knew that a piece of furniture could hold so much meaning.  


Love, anger, resentment, judgement, burden, codependency, guilt. 


So I started 2024 with UNDOING.  The couch is gone and I don’t remember feeling this free in a really long time. 


The energy of NURTURE has come in the form of food and sleep.  I am suddenly not judging myself for sleeping in or forcing a specific schedule.  I am honoring the energy of this season and deeply nurturing myself with sleep and nutrient dense foods. Every time I eat, I just consider speed and quality of the food.  How will this nourish me?


I wonder if when the words or focus come from what I think is God / Spirit, or my Guardian Angel, if it is easier to embody?  

 What do you think?

It feels easier to me.  It feels natural.
