Hi my friend,
Welcome to this moment.
Maybe close your eyes if that feels right to you and place a hand or two over your heart.
This heart of yours that is here with you now as you enter the new year.
Breathe in quietly,
Exhale gently.
Welcome yourself to this new year.
What if this is one of the best years yet?
And what if the only way that can truly unfold and unravel is if you don't expect it?
In this moment,
Release all expectations.
So much good can happen when we least expect it.
All you need to do is open your heart,
Open your mind.
And instead of heavy goals,
Have gentle,
Nourishing intentions.
Intention is the quiet force that can shape our lives.
It's not about grand plans or bold moves.
It's about consistent and gentle presence.
It's the quiet decisions we make to really align with who we are.
Living with intention doesn't mean having all the answers,
But it means listening closely to your inner voice and allowing that inner knowing to guide your choices.
Going slowly,
Moving with intention.
Inhale slow,
Exhale slower.
What a gift it is that intention gives you freedom.
Nothing is expected.
My friend,
How will you move into this year with beautiful intentions?
How will you live in alignment?
How will you practice presence over perfection?
Can you get really clear on your intention?
Maybe choosing a word or two that you'd like to embody this year.
Let this word be your anchor,
A lighthouse,
A guiding light.
For me,
It's trust.
Trusting myself.
Trusting that what is for me will not pass me.
Trusting that this life will unfold so beautifully.
What resonates with you,
My friend?
This is your year.
You get to choose your intention.
Slow breath in,
Big exhale.
Notice how it feels to release all the expectations,
All the unnecessary goals,
And just live beautifully with intention.
When you live with intention,
You are connected to your deep knowing,
Your intuition.
What a gift that is.
It's all you need.
Notice how your heart feels now.
Really recognize if this is a big shift for you.
Be proud of yourself for choosing to pause.
Open your mind to a new way of living,
Of stepping into the new year.
Breathe it in,
Just sit here for a minute or so to rest in the you that you are now.
Only when you're ready,
Finding movement in your hands,
Your toes,
Maybe rolling the shoulders.
Feel your heart expanding,
Feel the presence of ease.
Come back to your intention,
That word you chose.
Move forward slowly.
One more breath in,
From my heart to yours.
