"The polarity of light and dark have to coexist, and we can't abolish one; we must embrace it. We must look at the dark side, love it, and say: Well, thank you for showing me these things about myself and others. It's a learning experience. And it's part of learning who we truly are."
In today's episode, the first of 2024, I invite you to look at New Year's resolutions differently, from how you choose to keep yourself accountable to the extent of the things you want to achieve. I also share some interesting facts from a numerology perspective of 2024 and what we can expect from the year of the dragon in the Chinese zodiac.
We'll dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of seeing our New Year's resolutions unfulfilled, how that makes us feel about ourselves, and what being unable to commit to specific changes really says about us. You'll also hear about boundaries and how, by creating them, we create safe spaces for vulnerability, the courage to allow ourselves to love after a painful loss, and much more.
Tune in to episode 17 of Rekindling Ancient Wisdom, give yourself some grace and trust, and believe in your capacity to make 2024 the year you create a Heaven on Earth for yourself.
