Did you discover new practices that you love or hard lessons that you don't ever want to repeat again in the new year? So maybe you came across a profound wisdom that really shifted things for you, or you're clear that you want to let something go. You don't want to take it into the new year.
What I find is that sometimes people reflect on what they don't want, the things that they want to leave behind, but it comes with a level of judgment. So maybe they say, I'm going to let that toxic person go, or I'm never going to be a doormat again. But then it comes with a level of resistance. And when we judge something, we're actually stuck with it.

So the intention is good, but we don't need to be in resistance to make a change. And if you really hear the wisdom in that and incorporate that into your way of living, it can change your life. You do not need to be in resistance or judgment in order to change something.

Acceptance, not complacency, but acceptance to say this is what it is, helps you align with the moment, have more energy, and more proactively create the change that you're wanting. The other thing I see that people do, and I want to highlight this for you, is that they focus on the person and not the pattern. And when we do that, we get sucked into drama thinking it's really about them. It's not.

You got to focus on the pattern because that pattern can play out with lots of different people. And I like to think of life like school. We're in earth school, where we're presented with people and situations to help us evolve and grow. And so life gives us infinite opportunities to learn those lessons, whatever we came here to learn.

And as we do, we don't need to repeat them in the same dynamics over and over again with different people. We either evolve or we repeat. So when we condition ourselves to look for the learnings, it helps us keep our heart open. And that gives us a sense of compassion for ourselves and whoever else, the person or situation that's helping us learn that lesson.

My approach to life is that I want to use everything for my growth and evolution. So for example, this year I learned instead of bending over backwards to make other people happy at my own expense, which I learned in childhood, that pattern got developed then, I'm now prioritizing my own health and wellbeing, knowing that it comes first.

And it's sometimes you can know these things, but there's deeper levels of integration. It's kind of like watering a plant where that water seeps in at a deeper level. And so I'm learning to be with the part of me that thought I needed others to be okay for me to be okay.
