It's the day before the New Moon in Aries today and the first day of the astrological new year. The cosmic energy is moving from introspective Pisces into active Aries.
Today is quite the auspicious day to set intentions for your year going forward. If you’ve been journaling, then today is a great day to look back on your past year’s worth of progress. Are you where you want to be? What’s missing?
If you’re like many of my clients, you may be going through a bit of a transition period. Questioning long held beliefs, looking around at your life and wanting things to shift. Is the life you are living really yours? If it doesn’t feel like it, help is on the way!
Here are five intentions you can set this New Moon to bring back that main character energy. We are going to phrase these as “I can…” statements - to ease our way back into centering the self. (And no, being self-centered is NOT as problematic as some make it out to be- but that’s another blog post.)
“I can use No as a complete sentence when someone attempts to cross my boundaries.”
“I can put my needs first.”
“I can challenge and change my beliefs at any point.”
“I can rethink and reshape the relationships I am in.”
“I can reimagine my identity and re-emerge as a truer version of myself.”
How to use these intentions? I recommend picking one of these each week for the next 5 weeks, and journaling on them.
Intentions are the boundaries we set with ourselves so that we can live our lives out loud.
Where do you need to say no? Where are you ignoring your needs? Which needs are going completely unrecognized or suppressed?
Who do you REALLY want to be? What would your life look like if you stopped saying “yeah, but…”
Try it! I’d love to see what is in store for you!
