3 Simple Questions to Ask Yourself as We Wrap Up 2023

Happy Tuesday and last newsletter of 2023!

OMG…where did the year go?

You’ve learned so much this year.

A lot has unfolded and a lot is still yet to reveal itself.

As we dive into the last few days of the year, it’s tempting to just skip ahead and start focusing on 2024 and just ignore the whispers of wrapping up this year energetically.

A powerful exercise to do before the 31st approaches is to ask yourself these three questions.

I’ve formatted them into sentence stems for simplicity.

I do these too and my clients have shared that taking a few moments to just reflect helped them feel more complete and ready to receive at a greater level than before.

Because here’s the thing: the more we can slow down and really carve out time to reflect on our journey, even for just a few minutes, the more grounded and easier it can feel to dive 10000% into the new energy that is coming.

Here they are:

(Feel free to write them by hand (my personal favorite) as it activates your subconscious.)

1. One thing I’m really proud of this year was…

2. One area where I still need to forgive myself or let go is…

3. One thing I’m so at peace with within myself is…

Question I get asked: How long do I have to write for?

Answer? Let yourself keep writing until you feel like you’re complete.

Healing my happen. Tears may flow. Laughter may come up.

Let it.

Because it’s all part of your story, Goddess.

And it’s the last page of your 2023 story.

Tell the truth.

Wishing you so much love, happiness and magic!

Thank you for being in my Goddess community and I’m looking forward to brainstorming more content for you to help you trust and love yourself in 2024.

Much love x

What You Desire, Desires You!

Happy Tuesday!

Have you ever heard that to call in a partner, a home or anything that you’d like to, you must first be a vibrational match for what you’re requesting? 

If you aren’t at the same vibrational frequency as what you’re asking for, it’s like the Universe gets its wires crossed and you may not see much come your way.

One of my favorite ways to raise frequency is to use mantras to fine-tune your mindset away from a space of scarcity, lack and longing vibes… to that of grounded, calm, receptive vibes! 

One of my favorite mantras to play with for this is… What I desire, desires me back! 

Imagine that what you desire also desires you. 

That home, that perfect person for you…they are on the other end just so dang excited to find you. 

Really take that in.

No chasing.

No worrying.

No stress.

Yes, you do have to meet the Universe half way (you must put in a % of effort/appropriate action and do things to signal that you indeed are doing your part and also % receptivity/allowance and letting go so the Universe can have space to deliver things to you).

Are you open to using this mantra to calm your logical mind and slip into that space of receptivity and assurance that what is truly meant for you also wants you? 

How to use it: 

In quest moments where you feel fears rising up in your chest, close your eyes, take a deep, cleansing breath and say the mantra above: What I desire, desires me back! Say it three times with deep feeling. Notice how you feel.

What Will You Choose?

Happy Mantra Tuesday!

The other day, I was rushing back home to make it to an in-person appointment and got a call from the person I was supposed to be meeting. 

They told me they’d decided to go to a movie with their friends instead and that they couldn’t make our meeting (which was happening in about an hour).

I was seething

I had cut a trip to see my extended family short so I could make it back to town for this. 

It had been on the calendar for weeks. 

I felt so disrespected, annoyed and angry. 

I wanted to lash out from my Ego, but thankfully I said, “Next time if you choose to cancel our appointment, you need to let me know the day before.” 

We rescheduled and after we hung up, I took a deep breath and remembered that in every moment, even the ones the frost our cookies like this one, we always, always have a choice. 

People will be people. 

Not every situation will go your way.

But you can always choose. 

So…

This month’s mantra: I choose happiness and happiness chooses me. 

When happiness becomes something you choose as opposed to something someone gives you, you’re in your own power. 

The outside world can do its thang and you’re still alright within yourself. 

Try it and let me know how it works for you this month!

How to use it: 

In quiet moments where you feel fears rising up in your chest, close your eyes, take a deep, cleansing breath and say the mantra above. Say it three times with deep feeling. Notice how you feel.

Don’t Skip This!

As we approach the last week of 2022, and into the home stretch of Holiday craziness, I invite you to give yourself the space to reflect on the past year in a simple, yet powerful way. 

One of my favourite things to do is have a journal session with Spirit. 

I get my holiday spice tea ready, I shut my door and light a candle, ready to dive deep. 

I know you may not feel like you have a lot of time to journal or may even encounter resistance around this, but even finding a few minutes of quiet time can benefit you! 

Some of the prompts that you may consider journaling on:

  • A moment that tested me this year was…
  • I am so proud of myself for…
  • Something I now realize about myself is…
  • When it comes to relationships, a lesson I learned this year was…

A few tips to have the most impactful session with yourself: 

  1. Write by hand vs. typing (it actives your subconscious mind) 
  2. See how it feels to just go for about a paragraph. Go beyond just the surface answer to the prompt. 
  3. Release judgements of what you write-give yourself  permission to be honest and just express what you need to express!
  4. Set the tone: get a yummy beverage, shut off distractions and notifications and let your family, friend, roommate, etc know you will be unavailable for the next 15-30 minutes, etc. 

Have a beautiful holiday week and no matter where you are in the world, I want you to know that you are exactly where you need to be. 

You are loved. 

And you are enough.

See you next year and thank you for being in my Goddess world!
