Prompts for a New Year
/Today we say goodbye to 2024 and hello to 2025.
This year promises change and we are already seeing things begin to stir - a new political administration in the United States, planets are shifting into an alignment that hasn’t occurred in over 300 years, and technology is evolving faster than it ever has before. There are also babies being born, cures being discovered, art being created, people falling in love, and new adventures launching.
I am feeling a little nervous about 2025, but I’m also trying to practice being grateful to be alive as we watch and learn from such a profound time in human history. We can feel afraid of change, or we can watch it unfold with a spirit of awe and wonder. The changes will occur, we each get to individually decide how we respond to them.
Here are some interesting soul prompts for you as you think about the year ahead. In bumpy times, I feel the need to double down on listening to the longings of my soul. I made notes for myself as I made this list for you. Read through these and see if something gets you thinking about your year ahead.
What would you do if it didn’t have to make sense?
What is your soul nudging you to do for someone else?
What would you start if you had permission to not finish?
What would you do if your joy was the only thing that mattered?
What would your days look like if feeling good was your top priority?
Where could you practice greater compassion for yourself and others?
What environment would you spend all of your time in if you could?
Who do you want to be intentional about spending more time with this year?
What is your deep inner wisdom pulling you toward?
What do you want to experience this year?
There is some gold in those answers if you let yourself see it. Let’s each put something small into action to make this a meaningful year.
If nothing else, I know I like doing life with all of you. I’ll keep writing if you keep reading and we will enjoy being humans together in 2025.
Happy new year,
