We have already discussed my 4 Steps on How to Begin a Personal Journey and now that you have bravely begun your new adventure, it is time to start acting as the protagonist of your own story. What would be the difference if you view your journey through an outward versus an inward lens, and how will that affect your growth?
January is a month known for its ability to provide motivation, signal a new beginning, and evoke the need for change. It is both a personal and astrological reset, especially since this January resides in the season of Capricorn.
Now that we have discussed what steps would help you begin your personal journey, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to find inspiration in the stories of others. Knowing that we are not alone in our journey can help us stay motivated. Self-growth and discovery is not a linear process and oftentimes our journey can hit a plateau, take an unexpected turn or just come to a screeching halt. Learning new coping mechanisms and problem-solving methods (especially ones that work for you and your individual journey) will help you keep moving forward.
I know I am not the only one who appreciates the optimism associated with that “clean slate” feeling every January. It might seem a bit cliche to speak about self-development and “making changes”, or the idea of self-improvement at this time of year. However, I truly believe that is one of the most motivating and invigorating times of year that empowers people to feel ready to take something new on.
In honor of the New Year, I will be pulling some cards to prepare us for what's ahead in January!
First I will be providing an energy reading, to tell us what kind of energy the new year will bring. Then I will go through the messages from our higher selves, these are things that we are subconsciously trying to acknowledge within ourselves. The final two are messages from the unseen, this is a foretelling of things we may not yet be aware of, and lastly, messages from our guides, a higher power that watches over us. We are always surrounded by support, and that support can take the form of guides, that although intangible, are there to assist us in our journeys.
There might be a lot going on today for some of you- in fact, there might be a whole lot going on in the next week for all of us! As we scurry about to make all those last-minute preparations, and conquer our to-do lists, let’s try to include some “you-time” as well as we go through the final stretch of 2021. Here are some well-being practices that you can incorporate into your day-to-day as the holiday season comes to a close:
