As I step into a new year, I reflect on my chosen values and what truly matters to me as a partner, a parent, a daughter, sibling and friend. As I envision my values for 2024, there are a few key elements that stand out: authenticity, ease, adventure, and deservedness.
This holiday has been stressful (as it is every year for me.) Particularly because I was stricken with the flu. Literally knocked off my a#% for 8 days. I tried to fight it. Tried to pretend that I was okay, but I was far from it. I couldn’t get out of my own way. I didn’t really decorate. Only bought two gifts prior to getting sick and then zippo after that. Needless to say, I wasn’t in the spirit because we weren’t all together this holiday. I’ve been fighting off the blues. I didn’t realize this until this Christmas being sick but, I dread Christmas! A lot comes up for me and I’ve made an executive decision as the CEO of my life to work with a therapist this year so I can physically, mentally and financially gear up for Christmas 2024!
I want to get excited about the holidays instead of dreading them. I want to create new and fun traditions for my family. I decided to limit social media to once a week. Some people stop drinking? I’m cutting back on my social media habit. I realize how much of an impact it has on my mental well-being. So, moving into 2024, I want to connect with people via zoom or in person. I want to limit my texting and engage in more active conversations.
I’ve made a commitment to working with a therapist and business coach twice a month to do the work that is needed to get the results I’m looking for. I plan on making dedicated monthly blogs that you can find on The Haven Yoga’s website instead of posting on social media.
These past few days have really put things in perspective for me, and lit a fire under me. It’s time to get healthy - physically, mentally, soulfully, CONSISTENTLY!!! It’s time to lean into four very important values I have designated as my priorities moving into 2024.
AUTHENTICITY is a value that I hold dear. In a world that often encourages us to conform or put on masks, I want to prioritize being true to myself and embracing my uniqueness. I believe that by staying authentic, I can cultivate deeper connections, foster genuine relationships, and create a life that aligns with my true desires.
EASE is another value that I want to embrace in 2024. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, filled with constant hustle and bustle. However, I believe that by seeking simplicity and finding balance, we can create a sense of ease in our daily lives. This means prioritizing self-care, setting boundaries, and learning to say no when necessary. By doing so, I hope to create a space where peace and tranquility can thrive.
ADVENTURE is a value that fuels my spirit. I want to embrace the unknown, step out of my comfort zone, and explore new horizons. Whether it's traveling to new destinations, trying new hobbies, or taking on exciting challenges, I want to infuse my life with a sense of adventure. By doing so, I believe I can expand my horizons, learn valuable lessons, and create unforgettable memories.
Lastly, DESERVEDNESS is a value that I want to emphasize in 2024. It's easy to fall into the trap of feeling unworthy or undeserving of the good things that come our way. However, I firmly believe that we all deserve happiness, success, and fulfillment. By recognizing my own worth and embracing a mindset of abundance, I hope to attract positive experiences and opportunities into my life.
As I embark on this journey towards 2024, I am committed to living a life that embodies authenticity, ease, adventure, and deservedness. These values will guide my decisions, shape my experiences, and help me create a life that is true to who I am. I invite you to reflect on your own values and join me in embracing these principles as we navigate the exciting path ahead.
Here's to a year filled with growth, joy, and the fulfillment of our deepest desires!
Namaste,
Pam
