Preparing for the New Year

T8E BLOG - Preparing for the New Year
 We are just days away from the official start date of the new Hard Metal year.
 
Of course, it's important to prepare your home for the new energies.  If you haven't already, go get your copy of my 2021 Annual DIY Feng Shui Guide.  It's important to get your remedies and enhancements in place by February 4th.
 
But what about YOU?  How do YOU prepare yourself for the new year?  How do you feng shui yourself?  
 
The first step is to review and release the previous year.  And the best way to to that is to write a thank you letter to 2020.
 
Yes!  A Thank You letter.
 
I like to use a bullet journal for this annual gratitude practice.
 
Don't just read this blog.  Actually, get out a notebook or journal and take the time to do it.  Right NOW!  Or, in the morning.  But soon!
 
Look at each area of your life: Work/Career/Business, Relationships, Family, Health, Knowledge & Wisdom, Wealth & Success, Self-Development, Personal Wellbeing
 
 
Dear 2020,
 
Thank you for:
 
  • Teaching me
  • Showing me
  • Allowing me
 
I am so grateful for:
 
  • More quality time with my children
  • More free time to write my book or start my online business
  • My vibrant health
  • The opportunity to pivot in my business
 
 
Then, clear the energy and emotions to create space for what you would like to manifest and receive next.
 
I forgive myself for:
 
I forgive ___________ for:
 
 
In feng shui, there is an annual energy I call the "Three Losses".  I encourage my clients to make a list of three things they are ready to let go of.  If you like, you can read your list aloud and then bury or burn it.
 
I release:
 
  • Any limiting beliefs or low vibe emotions
  • All toxic energy in my life or relationships
  • Any excess body fat or dis-ease
 
 
Next, set some intentions for your self, life, home, work/career/business, money, passion projects and relationships.
 
I intend to:
 
  • Read daily
  • Do my Favorite Things weekly
  • Finish writing my book
  • Create a new stream of income
  • Find ways to contribute my unique offering to more people
  • Get my home feng shui'd
  • Connect with my soul family
  • Fall in love
 
I desire:
 
  • To feel
  • To connect with
  • To create
  • To manifest
  • To give
  • To receive
  • To contribute
  • To be/embody
  • To do
  • To have more
 
I will honor my needs by:
 
  • Waking up early enough for my Morning Align Time
  • Moving my body everyday
  • Making the time for self-care
  • Listening to my body
 
 
Use these journaling prompts to help you review and release 2020 and set intentions for the year ahead.
 
Happy Journaling!
