It's been a hot minute for me getting through December and all the holiday hustle. I was sick with bronchitis and sinusitis, and I'm still fighting the return to health. We had a long term house guest who came and went plus two more holiday visitors, entertaining, merry-making. I'll be honest; it took its toll. And, I was "taking it easy."
In the midst of all of that, I couldn't help notice all the messages about making 2025 "the best year ever." That rubs me the wrong way. It feels like pressure, and the same people said the very same thing last year, about 2024. Yes, dream BIG, and yes, do it whenever you want.
The truth is, we are always evolving. We are able to shift, change, stop, start, pause whenever we choose. There is no waiting for "magic" in January 1 of any year. As far as nature is concerned, January 1 is a whole lot like December 31. Nature "wakes up" in the spring not January so a lot of this fanfare about "new year, new you" doesn't align with our natural tendencies anyway.
I do believe in taking stock of the past so that you can celebrate, give credit, brag and notice all that you have thought, felt, done. That matters because when we take stock of where we are in life, we integrate our experiences which makes our life meaningful. Like punctuation in a sentence, we want to know where to stop and pause for a thought.
I also do believe in setting INTENTIONS for the future as well.
With that in mind, I have created an OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE ALIGNMENT group activity, on zoom, for you. This is an opportunity to review the past year with prompts that I will provide and create intention for 2025 according to where you are right now and where you'd like to be. This is for people who want to be reflective and proactive.
Monday January 6 at 6-7:30PM CST on ZOOM. $25 payable on Venmo or Zelle or Paypal.
RSVP to me directly at karen@karenastromsky.com and I'll send you the link.
I am wishing you well, supporting you, cheering you, sending you all the love and kindness so that you get what you want from your precious life.
Cheers, 2025!
