2020 may have left you in a funk. It’s time to clear the past, anchor yourself to the present and re-envision the future! Below, I share a practical exercise to move you into a clearer mindset for January 2021. Scroll down for the yoga oracle message that supplements this work!
THE FIRST TASK:
Make a list and title it ‘ What am I avoiding?’
➼ List down a page of ALL the things that you know you need to do, ranging from mundane stuff to things you’ve been planning to do but have kept it to torment you at the back of your mind!
➼ Notice how you feel when you’ve confronted your resistance on the page. Save this list and execute in order of priority.
J O U R N A L T H I S:
Reflect on areas of spiritual practice, home, work life and relationships:
➼ What felt good this year?
➼ Where was I most content?
➼ What shall I continue to do that’s working?
➼ What am I saying yes to in 2021?
Reflect on emotional and mental states, behaviours and habits:
➼ What am I leaving behind in 2020 that did not go so well?
➼ Where did I feel depleted or deflated?
➼ What am I saying No to in 2021?
➼ Amidst chaos and uncertainty, what do I know for sure?
Name your top 3 goals for the first quarter of the year.
Write down where you see yourself 1 year from now ~
➼ Who are you with? Where are you? What is making you feel safe, secure and content?
Invoke courage and resolution. Get organised and decide where it is you’re headed, in mind, body, heart and spirit!
With tomorrow’s Full Moon (Dec 30th), now is the perfect moment to reflect, release and move towards a new dawn.
There is work to do — karma to burn off. Fire is ignited, somewhere in your body. Are you awake to where the aggravation is living inside of you?
Channel ‘pitta’, your fire and hidden aggression and passion into creative outlets! Do not mistake this as modern ‘hustle’ energy. No. This is an expression, a shakti, a power that is formed from your own essence.
Rajas is about manifesting desires into form.
Act, create, move your inner energy. Transform it into something tangible that serves you and your dharmic work. What is the first thing that enters your mind about where your focus must go? Trust it. Don’t suppress urges.
With Mars now his own sign of Aries, we’re better placed to strategise and control our own power and warrior spirit. Don’t resist what wishes to move. Find a way. Create the path ahead. Flourish in fire.
