2023…The year of doing (it differently)

When I speak to friends and loved ones about the new year, one thing becomes clear to me.  This is the year of doing.  But it’s not necessarily about doing MORE things or doing monumental things.  It’s about doing more of the things that make you happy, that brings you peace.  Whatever that means to you.

What are you doing differently in 2023 to make your dreams a reachable reality?

My boyfriend told me a couple of weeks ago that I should start setting deadlines for myself on the things I want to do for myself.  We always meet the deadlines for bosses and others, but we rarely put that same kind of urgency into the things we want for ourselves.  So that’s one of the things I’ll be doing differently this year.  Deadlines and priorities for my own dreams too.

The year of doing might also actually mean doing LESS.  How much of your time is spent on things that you don’t really have the energy or time for?  How much energy do you have left at the end of the day to focus on you and your dreams?  Did you know that you are allowed to take time for yourself and rest without feeling guilty?  Sometimes we need a reminder of that, and sometimes it’s actually something you need to teach yourself.  Being able to do nothing…and not feel guilty about it.

What ever you do in 2023, ask yourself:  Am I doing this from a place of love or a place of fear?  Because the underlying energy determines a lot of the direction and outcome.

I hope that 2023 will be a year where you do things for yourself, for your peace and for your own happiness.  Because you’re allowed to be happy, you know.
