Happy New Year!

This is my first email to you in 2022. I’ve been slowly easing into this new calendar year as I often do.

As much as the world around me is all in a flutter, I know that being very deliberate and gentle with myself and all that I do right now is what feels best and serves me the most.

I hope you are doing what feels best to you, too.

Being able to discern what is and isn’t “right” for me is something that has and continues to serve me well, especially when it’s different than what the majority of people are doing.

I haven’t always been good at doing this. In fact, for a good part of my life I desperately wanted to fit in, belong, and receive approval from the people around me.

It was exhausting!

It was also the very definition of self-betrayal. Because even if it was something that didn’t work well for me, or feel good to me, I’d still all too often say “yes” to it.

Thankfully, I’ve become much better at honoring myself and my truth as time has gone by. 😉

As the year begins to open and fresh possibilities reveal themselves to you, I invite you to get curious.

Where are you going along with things even if they don’t feel good to you?

Where in your life are you trying to fit in, even if what you’re doing to belong isn’t really a reflection of who you really are?

Where are you still willing to go against your better judgment or your inner knowing?

We all have places in our lives where we are living out of alignment with our truth. Sometimes we’re miles away from it, and in other aspects of our life we might just be a millimeter or two off.

The real question to ask yourself is, are you’re going to continue this misalignment?

Or will you begin to choose something different for yourself in 2022?

This could be the year that you re-adjust and re-create your life to more honestly reflect who you really are.

This could be the year that you make different choices – because different choices lead to different outcomes.

This could be the year that you start dancing like no one is watching, and living like it’s your one, wild and precious life.

This could be the year that you decide to get busy living the way you’ve always wanted to.

 

We are all living in the cumulative effects of 2020 & 2021. It’s been A LOT!

We may not be able to change what is happening outside of us. But we can take a good look at the everyday choices we are making. It’s these choices, that over time, create the lives we are living.

So for now, get curious. What kind of life have you been choosing for you?

And what will you choose differently in this new year?

Lots of love and oodles of courage to you,

Alicia
