As we move forward into the new year let’s continue to reflect and prepare for the new year with intention. Before you begin I encourage you to pause, reflect and digest the previous year.
Find a spot to contemplate and or journal about your wants, needs, looking ahead and preparing for the new year. Enjoy the reflection prompts as you reflect to move forward.
Wants
Take your time with this exercise and pause and answer fully each question.
Needs
Looking Ahead
One Thing
Prepare
Here’s to reflecting and moving forward with grace, ease and peace into the new year. May you bring what you want that works for you forward and leave what doesn’t work for you behind. See bonus burning exercise below for a way to do this.
Next, I’ll be writing about intentions and setting a focus for the year with intention.
If you or someone you know would like support in moving forward, planning for the next year, or has been knocked down reach out and contact me. I provide a safe place to move forward in life and reflect on what is working and what isn’t.
I have space for one client in January. If that’s you or someone you know please contact me. Let’s have a conversation to see how I can be of support.

Bonus – Burning Ritual
Many great traditions have a burning ritual at the end of the year. The idea is that you leave behind what you don’t want to hold on to or bring into the new year.
A simple version is to write these down on small pieces of paper. Then in a safe place light the fire in a fire pit, bowl, something fire proof and safe. Place the papers into the fire. Next watch them burn allowing yourself to feel whatever arises. Offer a word of release, I’m letting go of …, I’m letting go of…, I am open to… I am healed, blessed and at peace is a nice way to end. Lastly, extinguish the fire safely. If you like when ashes are cooled you can blow them, scatter or dispose them safely away from you and your dwelling.
Now you’re ready to move into the new year with your wants, needs and desires for the new year. Take a moment to capture those thoughts.
Here's to leaving what doesn't serve you behind and taking forward what does!!
