16 lessons from the hardest year of my life.
Happy New Year!
Hi!
I hope you’re well. Reflecting on the past year, and its accompanying highs and lows, has prompted me to enter 2025 a bit differently than years past.
While I would typically facilitate some sort of self-guided ceremony- setting intentions, planning how to to achieve my goals within the first few months of the year, maybe doing a visualization meditation, and most definitely building a vision board (& mapping it out beforehand) - I’ve decided to sacrifice the Big Picture Thinking and simply, simplify (one of 16(+) lessons I’ve learned in 2024).
In my letting-go of the previous system, I created space for something new. A brief, concise list of lessons I’ve learned (& am actively learning), as these will be the true anchors and guides for me through the year ahead.
Free of attachment to outcomes, open to all future potentials.
A few themes that surfaced:
The power of surrenderance.
Embracing duality.
Prioritizing the nurturing of a healthy mind above all else.
and more.
16 lessons from the hardest year of my life.
Time is limited, would you really like to spend it consumed with thoughts and judgement?
Inner Intention < Outer Intention. Surrender Control. Surrender Expectations. (Concept from Reality Transurfing). “Inner intention involves forceful striving and personal effort, while outer intention involves allowing external circumstances to align with one's goals naturally.” - Source
Follow (be) the flow of nature. Giving and receiving. Letting go. Always changing. Do not attach.
Find discipline through clarity and consistency.
Clear, then do. One step at a time. Don’t ever rush.
Relax and lead with loving kindness. (From Cheat Code to the Universe).
Sometimes you need to learn a lesson a few times before it sticks.
Body & Soul are communicating just like the mind, every moment of every day.
Heart intelligence comes first. The heart doesn’t think, it feels and knows.
You’ll always be in the middle.
Just be honest.
Don’t forget to have fun.
You’ll find out.
Don’t let distractions rule.
Simplify.
You are what you consume.
Wherever, you are, whatever you’re doing- I am wishing you peace, joy and love. Feel that they are always accessible to you all of the time, through any condition, for they are a state of mind.
Thank you for being here. Happy New Year!
X,
B

Slightly amazed to find this corresponds with what I, too, learned this year.
