Welcome to 2023! A new year can bring both excitment and apprehension. On the one hand; new year, new goals, new intentions, new energy and dont forget the new year's resolutions! On the other hand; fear, self-doubt, expectations and the unknown. Everyone's mindset entering 2023 is different, and that's ok!
Don't get me wrong, a new year is always a great time to reflect on the milestones that you have reached and the achievements you have accomplished, no matter how big or small. It's a good time to pause and celebrate your progress and give yourself a pat on the back for making it this far. Never underestimate how far you have come, be proud of yourself, you are awesome! With this in mind, don't put yourself under pressure because you feel you are not as far along as you would like to be or not achieving what your friends are achieving - we are all on our own paths and it's not a race, afterall, our finish lines are all different.
Going into 2023 is a good time to identify what is working in your life and what is not to enable you to navigate forward, leaving behind what is not serving you anymore and making room for what will. Again, don't feel pressure to change anything if you don't need or want to - if it's not broken, don't fix it.
There are almost 8 billion people in this world and our stories are all different. You are unique and that is your superpower. Noone can ever be you. We are all at different stages of our lives, have different goals and are achieving different things. There is no right or wrong way and we must keep going in the direction that best suits our personal goals. The main point here is that we must keep going; with compassion and kindness and without judgement. We must continue to grow and evolve into the most authentic versions of ourselves we can be and watch the magic happen.
Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still - Chinese Proverb
I truly hope 2023 brings you fulfillment, happiness and excitment at the prospect that you can do anything you put your mind to. You are awesome, you are able and you are so worthy of every opportunity that comes your way.
Keep shining your beautiful light, you've got this!
With love, Sam xo
