Do you like New Years resolutions? While we are absolutely all for goal setting, positive intentions and working toward creating a better future, we also know new year resolutions can make you feel guilty or shameful of where you were at until this point. And that is NOT a healing way to start the new year.

It’s hard for us to guess what 2024 will look like or what 2024 will bring in these completely unprecedented times. Everyday there is something new that comes up that stops us in our tracks. This past year it was AI, genocide and world weirdness(!).

So, while we can’t see our 2024 in a crystal ball, the least we can do is let go of some behaviours we may have that come in the way of us achieving our dreams and fully healing. And that means, it will lead us to clarify the way for a surely positive and healing 2024.

Healing mentally, physically and spiritually can be your 2024 intentional goal too. ❤
