First Practical Wellness post in 2017… Vibrant Intentions… A moment of reflection and sharing….
Every New Year’s Eve day I have a private ritual of “releasing” that I do for myself. I choose a word to release from my vocabulary that no longer serves my life purpose – words that may be holding me back from reaching my highest potential, goals, dreams, hopes, helping and supporting others, etc.
A few words I’ve released in the past include: hate, gossip, ignore, weak, avoid, fail, unworthy, comparison, competition, modification, jealousy, can’t, fear, worry, should, busy…
The word I’m releasing (or in this case re-releasing) in 2017 is “should”.
My intention in 2017 is that when a situation/opportunity/thought arises I’ll do my best to do something about it so I stop “shoulding” on myself – I should do this or I should have done that or should I do this or should I do that. By the time I decide what I “should” do the situation/opportunity/thought has passed. I often wonder how many opportunities never materialized all because I was “shoulding” on myself about something? Talk about taking up space and energy!
This yearly ritual has allowed me to create positive space for new things to enter my life and to create a more grounded energy to move through the world no matter what the circumstances are that cross my path. That doesn’t mean that the tough times aren’t tough. It means I have more energy to help me move through those tough times and to have even more energy to appreciate the good times and to help and support others.
How will you create space for more of YOUR vibrant energy to shine through in 2017?
May the wisdom gained in 2016 carry you forward into great opportunities for a vibrant 2017…Happy New Year!
