MY BIGGEST LESSONS IN 2024
I WISH YOU A HAPPY, PROSPEROUS, MAGICAL, INSIGHTFUL, MYSTICAL AND LIFE CHANGING NEW YEAR
This past year has for me been a solidification of my direction in life. While I don’t feel like there were so many outer shifts—not as many destination adventures as the year before, not so many noticeable shifts, and patience has been a virtue this year—I have felt this year has brought so many inner shifts, like letting go of limiting believes, releasing patterns that made me feel stuck, and a generally felt sense of freedom in being who I am.
Sometimes the realizations / mental and emotional shifts are really the ones that brings a biggest sense of quality of life.
Here are in a few sentences what I feel has been my biggest “lessons” or realizations of 2024…
1. Leave people the dignity of living their own incarnation (I don’t have to fix any of the people in my life in order to be spiritual).2. If there’s someone that I don’t enjoy spending time with / talking with / follow I don’t have to fix it, I can just let them go.
3. In the relationships you care about, choose harmony always (you “winning” isn’t important if it creates disharmony, then you’re actually loosing anyways).
4. I don’t have to apologize for resting. I don’t have to apologize for going above and beyond, and both can co exist.
5. Give to the people who wants to take or learn from you. Don’t waste time trying to give to someone who doesn’t want to receive from you.
6. If you want your life to change (what shows up for you, how you think, how you react, who you meet, what decisions you make…) then practice, practice, practice.
7. Grace above all else. I don’t feel like I can confidently say I always live in grace, but having that word as a guiding principle in life helps me stay on course.
8. And I know it’s a cliche in our community, but seriously: if you keep up you will be kept up.
I’m sure there were many more, but it was an “8 year”, so 8 realizations feels right after all😂
NEW YEAR NEW PREDICTIONS
Rather than making goals or manifestations this New Year, I am inclined to make ‘2025 Predictions’. A prediction to me seems a bit more realistic, there’s less of a gap between the dream and the reality. Some of my predictions aren’t even dreams—they will happen—so why jeopardize them by making them into a vision or dream? No they will happen, so they are a prediction.
I’m not sharing my list here—that’s just a personal exercise for me, to set the right course. But I will share my “prompts” in case you would like to make your own list of 2025 Predictions.
Consider these…
What I have learned in 2025…—Yes you can writes as it has already happened, like you are looking back next year and seeing what you have accomplished.
This can be courses you want to take, realizations you want to have. Learning and self development is so essential for our growth.
The places I visited in 2025…
I think traveling is almost always on these kind of lists, and is something we all dream about and aspire to. Unless you’re pregnant or with a new born or something else is prohibiting your plans for big adventures, thinking about the trips we will take can feel motivating and inspiring. Where do you want to go in 2025 and why?
The things I created in 2025…
What are you going to make next year? Are you writing a book? Setting up a new course? Making art? Decorating your house? Creating beautiful friendships, offerings, spaces, events etc.? What do you predict for yourself, for 2025?
Personal shifts in 2025…
What’s the personal shifts that will take place that will be super beneficial for you in 2025? Do you need to show up differently, or in a bigger way? Do you need to fall in love with your own sound? Do you need to finally become steady in your daily practice? Or increase your daily meditation to 31min? What’s the thing that you know would create the biggest impacts for you?
These predictions can assist as a direction and road map for you in 2025, but remember: don’t get so fixated and stuck that you miss out on the miracles, the unpredictable, the destiny moments that you couldn’t even imagine right now.
Having a vision is great, but the ultimate prayer for you could be: whatever serves my highest good. That’s more than enough, so don’t feel any pressure around making these kinds of predictions or New Year’s resolutions.
