“New year, new me!” No thank you!
Unpopular opinion: this new year doesn’t need a new you. You don’t need a new you.
What if all this new year required of you was to be MORE you, more of the very you that you already are? More of your gifts in the world. More of your presence to those around you. More of your light shining. More of the very essence of what makes you you.
Resolutions won’t make this happen. More time at the gym isn’t the answer. A smaller waist or a smaller number on the scale won’t get you there. Eliminating a food group? Nope. Because change doesn’t actually happen until we accept what is. And that’s really all that there is anyway, right? (And this is precisely why resolutions just don’t stick!)
So instead of making a list of resolutions heading into this new year, what if you approached things differently? Here are a few questions to ponder that might lead you more gently in the direction you want to go as the clock nears midnight:
How do I want to feel in 2022? Emotionally? Physically? Mentally? Is there anything I need to let go of to achieve this? Anything I need to add to my life?
Who do I want to be in 2022? Am I happy with how I am showing up in the world? Are there areas where I am playing small? Areas where I need to step up and make a stand for myself?
How can I incorporate more play and pleasure into my life in 2022? What do I love doing? What makes me light up and lose track of time? How can I create more time in my life to make these things happen?
Are you ready to bring more of YOU to 2022? More of your glorious, beautiful soul. More of your unique gifts and talents. More of your presence and essence. More of you you YOU!
Yes?
Well, okay then. Comment below and tell me one way you are going to show up and be your most wonderful, juiciest self in 2022.
