My birthday falls on August 28th (that’s today!). My birthday is super-special to me, and I like to have big celebrations. At the same time, I also make sure that every year on my actual birthday I make some dedicated sacred space just for ME.
What do I do during this sacred time? I do a ritual that allows me to gracefully and joyfully let go of one year and powerfully move on to the next.
How do I do this?
- I create a ritual atmosphere that allows me to really connect deeply with myself. I light candles, burn incense, get comfortable, and breathe.
- From there, I review the year that has just past. I note all the things that I am grateful for, all the things I’m proud of, all the things I really want to celebrate. I really make the time to honor my accomplishments and blessings. This is so important in the process of moving forward.
- Next, I acknowledge all of the things that happened during the last year that aren’t serving me, and that I am ready to let go of. Things on this list might be disappointments about losses, ways that I am judging myself, relationships that are no longer working. I honestly and lovingly get very clear with myself on all the things that I don’t want to take with me into my new year. Then I breathe each of those things out of my system. Slowly, with focus. I let them go so that I can move forward without anything holding me back.
- Finally, I look forward! I sense into the coming year of my life and set goals and intentions for the year to come. I write them all down and then infuse those goals into an item that I keep with me for the entire year – a candle, a new scarf, a necklace, a new plant.
Going through this sacred birthday ritual each year has allowed me to move forward in my life and work in HUGE ways. Why? Because it has helped me assess emotionally what needs to happen next as well as get clear on what concretely needs to happen next.
Of course, there are quite a few more steps to be able to do this on a weekly and monthly basis so that you create success in your life and work. And that’s why I created the Women’s Intuitive Leadership Program! It is a 12-week tele-training for women who are really ready to experience big change in their lives.
And, in honor of my birthday, for the next 48 hours (until midnight on 8/30), I am gifting everyone with a whopping 35% off the program.
