“You have spent enough time worrying about not being enough in someone else’s eyes. Now it’s time to have enough on your own.” Stephanie Bennet-Henry
As we approach the end of 2023, I've had the privilege of connecting with many individuals who reached out feeling overwhelmed and stuck on their paths. A common thread among them was the shared desire for a more meaningful life filled with purpose and passion.
However, navigating through feelings of fear and overcoming limiting beliefs that hinder progress proved to be a challenge for many. As we bid farewell to 2023, a year of self-reflection, and welcome 2024, a year of opportunities, I'm excited to share valuable lessons that can be seamlessly incorporated into your daily routine. These lessons will help you shed old baggage and discover your purpose for the upcoming year.
When you take the first step towards your desires, the universe guides you on the path you need to follow. Be aware that stepping into your higher self may trigger fear from your ego, attempting to distract you from your true self. Acknowledge this, and the voice within you will recognize your commitment to the real work.
Self-love is crucial during the awakening and self-discovery process. As you prioritize yourself, set new boundaries, and delve into your soul, the ego may challenge you. Embrace yourself with a hug, practice even more self-care, and remember – if you're here, it's time. You are a special soul ready for change.
Inner Courage Meditation A journey to Mental & Emotional Clarity by Tammy Machmali
Our purpose is to find our center amid the external noises and disruptions in the world. Despite the challenges and pressures, we must harmonize our energy with soul alignment, returning to ourselves and evolving into a better version.
To achieve this, make a conscious decision to pause, slow down, take a breath, and practice reflection and introspection. Learn what needs release and healing within you to embark on your new journey without carrying unresolved issues and old energies.
Here's a quick exercise to connect with your higher self:
Close your eyes.
Touch your heart.
Ask your higher self:
Who am I?
What do I want to be and do?
What do I have to let go to be me?
How do I want to impact the world?
Who do I want to spend my time and energy with?
Why am I here?
Return to the present, jot down your answers, and implement them as you step into the new year. Live and be life, recognizing that your connection to self is your connection to the Universe.
A word of caution: Your ego thoughts won't disappear overnight. Combat the imposter syndrome by nurturing and loving yourself. Cultivate self-awareness and guide yourself from ego thoughts to soul messages of purpose and love.
When you feel lost, you lose connections with others. Remember, you cannot be good to anyone if you are not loving, kind, and compassionate to yourself. Our role is not to solely take care of others but to show up as our best selves in the presence of whatever is. This intention creates a ripple effect of uplifting energy, transforming us and the world around us.
You are not alone on this path of self-discovery. Your soul has brought you here for a reason. Let's walk this journey alongside each other!
Be the master, not a prisoner of your own body, where you let worry, fear, and overwhelm cripple you. Instead, choose faith, courage, and dedication to help you and this world become a better place—one courageous choice at a time. Courage is the cornerstone of a successful and fulfilling life.
