I don’t know about you but I’m feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment.? As we wrap up 2024 and think about what we want for 2025 I’m receiving lots of amazing guidance and help with journaling prompts, ideas for reflection, and ideas for setting my intentions and goals and quite honestly I haven’t taken the time to sit down and do any of it and it’s making me feel overwhelmed and a bit behind.

This time of year, my house is not quiet.? Kids are running around, family visiting, our routine is completely out of the window and while I aspire to sit with a nice cup of coffee, a blank journal and maybe even lovely music and a candle that just is not happening and it’s been stressing me out.

What if you could achieve the same momentum, insight and impact by thinking of 3 simple words?

Here’s what I’m doing right now in the evening as I think back on the day AND I’ve decided to apply this same beautiful and elegant approach to reflecting on 2024 and thinking ahead for 2025.

The 3 words are:?

Rejoice, Release and Recalibrate

It’s that simple.

You can feel free to journal on these 3 words and what they bring up for you AND/or you can think about them at night as your head hits the pillow.? Both ways give you a great return on your time.? Both ways will help give you a boost and some clarity.

What can you look back on from the day (or month, or year) and celebrate?? Rejoice in?? Say that went well, good for me, I’m proud of me, I did that!

What thing, experience, memory, or who do you just need to release? Let go of?? Are you holding onto something from the day (or month or year) that is not serving you.? Something someone said or did?? Something you said or did or didn’t do? Just know that regret is keeping you in the past.? Not letting go is keeping you stuck and it’s taking up a lot of your precious energy so decide to just release it.??

What can you do, change, or stop doing to serve you better?? Assess your needs, be honest with how you’re doing and what you might need to adapt.? Do you need to pivot?? Are things working great and you can keep doing the same or should you tweak it a bit?? The great thing about recalibrating is it can be done minute to minute.? You can decide to make a change that will serve you at any time.? YOU get to make that choice.

I hope keeping your reflection at this time of year simple serves you.? Please share with me how it has helped and enjoy the time and brain space it gives you when you simplify.

If you’ve stuck around to read this, thank you!? I do appreciate with my entire heart those of you who support the work I do and receive some value from it.? So much so I’ve decided to try something very exciting!!!

I’m launching a podcast in January 2025!!!!? Watch this space for more announcements on when the first episode will land and where you can listen to it!?

You’re all the first to hear about it and I’m excited to announce the name.? It’s the Yes….. AND podcast with Claire Darr. ?I’ve been working on this for quite some time and my hope is it inspires you to live a life full of purpose, joy and happiness.

For now, I’m sending you my love and light for a beautiful end to 2024 and a magical start to 2025.

My love and light to you
