34 reflections from the last 365 days...
Another year around the sun and the reflections that came with it.
Ten days of my new year have passed, and let’s just say it’s been an emotional roller coaster. I am grateful to be here and actively choosing to be present in what has been coming up for me this season.
Season after season, I continue to come to my words as a sanctuary, and I continue to be inspired by how special writing is as an outlet and space for me to share what’s really on my heart.
In honor of my 34th year on this Earth, here are some reflections, affirmations, and lessons that came up for me throughout this last year:
I love you.
Love out loud.
Release with love.
Respectfully, IDGAF.
Nourish yourself first.
Less talking, more doing.
Frolic around and find out.
Create more and consume less.
Never apologize for loving hard.
Your intuition already told you the answer.
Get out of your head and get into your body.
Put yourself at the center and see what happens.
As you carry so much in this life, who is carrying you?
Whispering and humming will ease your nervous system.
Trust in _______ [ the 1st word(s) that comes to mind holds power ]
Take a few deep breaths before you respond. Witness the shift.
Comparing yourself to others is messing with your creative flow.
You gotta be dedicated to the delulu. You can’t half-ass your delulu.
Delulu requires deep, dedicated devotion.
One of the greatest gifts is magnetizing the most beautiful souls into real life.
Focus your energy on the things that fulfill you, not the things that drain you.
You are not alone in your feelings. Others have felt or are currently experiencing similar things. You are not alone.
Ruminating is killing your beautiful aura. Release and let it go, for good.
Your manifestations will materialize–once you get out of your own way.
You can be empathetic without carrying what others are going through. Learn how to care without carrying.
Release the need for external validation. Validate yourself and start the journey of internal validation – it’s sexy af over here.
Advocate for your needs and authentically share how your loved ones can support you.
Continue to be unafraid in sharing how you feel and modeling vulnerability. It’s expansive and empowering.
Just because your family did things a certain way doesn’t mean you have to. Take what works and what serves you, and leave the rest behind.
Hear your voice. Hear your words. Hear your thoughts and concerns before asking the world about what they think.
When your intuition speaks, you must listen with reverence. Rejecting her truth may create more confusion.
Remember: self-empowerment is in your hips. Stretch them, honor them, and don’t be afraid of the feelings that come up when you acknowledge what’s been stuck there. The feelings are there to stretch you.
Start naming sensory things when you feel scattered. Start counting. Start naming the colors you see. Touch something near you and focus on the textures. Do something to shift the scattered energy.
Lay in your bed all day and don’t judge yourself. Watch something. Read something. Eat something. Drink something. Rest and leisure are a necessary part of the journey. Bask in it without the guilt.
For the next 365 days, love yourself unconditionally and witness the shifts that happen in your life. Commit to YOU for ONE ENTIRE YEAR and document the entire journey. Then, create a collage of your life and watch it on your next birthday. Witness the life of your dreams unfold in front of you!
My Invitation to You
This is my invitation to you (and myself) in this season:
Love yourself louder. Choose yourself daily. Honor the life that is unfolding uniquely through you. And remember, the journey is yours to live and witness.
Let this next year be the most honest, gentle and magical one yet!
I’m rooting for your joy, always.
— Amita
When I say it to you, I say it to myself.
