Dear beautiful you..happy new yearĀ
Around this time of year, it used to be that everyone sat down and made really long lists about the goals they wanted to achieve: go to the gym every day, read one whole book a week, be more organized.
For years I was one of those people, always searching for something outside of myself to prove that I was indeed becoming a better person than I had been the year before.Ā
But now, that kind of goal-setting, that racing-to-achieve is no longer in me.Ā I I just like to think about one qualityĀ that I really want to commit to in the year ahead. Last year it was simplicity, this year it is joy - I want to feel more upliftment, I want to laugh more, to lighten to feel more into that joy frequency. What is your quality!
What I really care about these days is,Ā how do I want my life to feel?Because when I know how I truly, deep down in my soul want my to feel, then I will act accordingly to build a life that sustains me.
A new year has potent energy, and I have always loved the feeling of starting again.
There's no need to rush it or force it, the newness comes anyway, whether we make lists or not.Ā
I choose to welcome this New Year with hope and excitement, and I gently kiss 2024 and thank it for all it showed me.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Here are a few things I learn every year:
That I absolutely can't imagine life without yoga!!!! So grateful ....
That through dark and difficult times we grow and transform more then we could ever imagine. Ā We need these times even though they feelĀ uncomfortable us. Ā
When something seems too hard or too complicated or brings up feelings of overwhelm, I just need to take one action and then the next action and then the next.Ā
When it all feels like too much, I start with the space I am living in: clean the kitchen, tidy my studio, weed my garden . Turn the music on and dance in the kitchen. Raising my vibration is the priority and can often be ignited by simple tasks done with presence. Who knew making a space beautiful could actually change the way I see things?
This year (and every year) showed me how incredibly strong I am and how vulnerable I am at the same time. It showed me how much I crave and need community. It showed me that the dance of life is only as complicated as I make it .It showed me how kind and beautiful my dear friends are. It made more room for the life I have always wanted.
I am made for these times, and so are you.We can handle hard things, and we can choose to love ourselves and our lives while we go through whatever we are facing.
We can choose to nourish and nurture ourselves amidst the doing.
2025, I welcome you with my whole heart. Please don't feel like you need to change who you are, in fact we need to embrace ourselves and love ourselves exactly as we are. Making small steps to take care of ourselves daley is really what is needed. Congratulate yourself for how far you have come in this journey, we call life.
If you feel to start 2025 with clarity, please do join my beautiful mini day retreat entitled reflection and directionĀ where we meet ourselves as we are withĀ focused energy to begin the new yearĀ for a guided gentle yoga, meditation, sound healing, journelling and ritual featuring reflection, visioning, and prompts to plan for a beautiful year ahead. A day where we gather and fine tune our hearts desire.Classes start back Tuesday 14 th January ...come, move and be moved - come into your heart and feel the peace within.Have the most beautiful day and year ahead.Ā
Ā With love,
Nina xxx
