It’s that time of year again—the time to not only reflect on the year past, but also set a vision for the year ahead.
In my “happy 2020!” post last year, I wrote about my annual ritual of choosing a word as my guiding theme and inspiration for the year ahead.
Have you chosen a word for 2021? What do you envision for the year ahead? Where might your journey take you, and how will you actively contribute to shaping it? What energy do you wish to step into as you enter the new year? What are you moving towards that fills your being with anticipation, expansiveness, and joy?
My word for 2021 is FREEDOM.
Below are just a few of the layers of meaning this word holds for me as we embark on the new year.
freedom to choose what goes into my body (sovereignty over my own body, my own health)
freedom to choose what energies I surround myself with (drawing healthy boundaries and choosing my environment intentionally)
freedom to choose how I nourish my body and mind (food, TV, books, conversations, podcasts, etc.)
freedom to travel and spend time with the people I love, celebrating our shared humanity
freedom for all beings in this world to live a life of peace and joy
freedom to use my creative energy in ways that enrich both myself and others
freedom to live my life in a way that feels soul-nourishing, inspiring, and rewarding
freedom to tap into the abundance that is our birth right as human beings, and to share this abundance with others
freedom to be the soul expression I came here to be and share my gifts with others 💖
How about you? What word do you wish to draw on in 2021 and carry with you as your guiding theme?
