Finding Calm in the Stress - End of the Month Motivational Message | December

For many of us, the end of the year can conjure up a sense of powerlessness.

Time is passing you by and there’s still a lot you haven’t achieved yet.

You’re starting to wonder, “What if my best isn’t good enough?” “When will it all happen for me?”

The suspense can feel crippling.

Don't forget - you are a work in progress!

Life is filled with unexpected situations, and that means we always have to remain open to new lessons and perspectives. We’ll always be a work in progress.

As scary as it might seem at first, this realization can bring you a sense of comfort.

No matter what happens, no matter how chaotic it gets, you can always begin again.

Everything changes with time. The changes may not be apparent at first, but you will eventually see the bigger picture. You will find the opportunities you are looking for.

You are strong and capable.

Give yourself grace as you reflect on the experiences you've had over the year.

There were so many moments of triumph and courage, and experiences that opened your eyes.

You’ve overcome moments of deep pain with a lot of grace. You have learned to thrive within your imperfections.

You have decided to move forward as best you can.

It’s okay if you feel tired. It doesn’t mean that you aren’t strong or capable.

You lived and survived through it all.

No one is perfect - and they don't have to be.

Life is dynamic.

Don’t think in absolute terms or let your worth be dependent on circumstances that you cannot control. You’ve managed to create a rich inner world - despite all the struggles you had to endure.

You can find meaning and joy in your life, even when it’s imperfect.

The obstacles you face don’t diminish your worth.

Take a step back to see the bigger picture!

As you wind up another year, try to rethink your perception of the passage of time.

This year is a small part of a bigger picture.

We often put pressure on ourselves to accomplish what we want within specific deadlines. But just because you haven’t achieved a certain goal, doesn’t mean your entire year has gone to waste.

Even if you can’t see the whole picture right now, hold onto that faint possibility that everything will eventually work out in your favor.

Whatever the new year may bring, trust that it will guide you towards your highest good.

All the best for 2025!

Throwback to December 2023's End of the Month Message - Focus on Your Values

This is it. The end of 2023. 

Where did the time go? 

Every year brings a unique concoction of experiences. 

2023 was filled with so many beautiful moments, lessons, and breakthroughs. Of course, there were some challenges too. But you managed to grow through those challenges.

Make time for reflection.

Take a moment to reflect on everything you went through.

Go through your camera roll, and as you scroll through pictures from each month, acknowledge the moments that made an impact on you.

This will help you see how you’ve changed over the years.

Look within yourself. 

• What would you do differently knowing what you know now? 
• How do you want to show up next year?
• What values do you want to focus on in the year to come?

What Lies Ahead in 2024?

By now you probably have decided what you want to leave behind this year.  

Perhaps there are things that didn't go how you expected. Allow yourself to process the feelings of dissatisfaction. Unexpected detours are part of life. It's in our best interest to view them as opportunities for learning and growth. 

Maybe this was a year of preparation for you. 

This is just one chapter of your life. There will be many more beautiful chapters that will bring you opportunities to fulfill your dreams. 

Have faith. 

Let go of everything that no longer serves you. 

Hit the reset button. 

Allow yourself to pause and to breathe. Give yourself time to recover from the hectic holiday season.

Celebrate your wins.

You have overcome some pretty big obstacles this year. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and embraced new opportunities. You focused on applying the lessons you've learned so far. You actively worked on healing your old wounds.

You've made so much progress in your journey. Celebrate your wins!

Focus on Values: Being More Intentional 

Choose to be more intentional every day. We all live very fast-paced lives. Amid the ups and downs of life, it's easy to forget that you do have many blessings to be grateful for. There is always something to be thankful for.

Appreciate where you are in life right now. 

This is the perfect time to reset your attitude. 

Say goodbye to 2023 and be ready to welcome a new year filled with amazing possibilities and magical moments.
