Embracing Your Phase
Photo by: Aaron Burden
You're likely seeing a lot of conversations on social media and in emails about the start of the new year. Many of those messages contain a subtle (or not so subtle) tone of “if you're not all in and ready to go there's something wrong with you".
This couldn't be further from the truth.
Every year has it's own flavor that is divinely aligned with your growth and evolution.
I shared a concept with my community for coaches recently that I think you'll find valuable too.
According to the Vedas (an ancient body of knowledge of universal law) there are only three states of nature: Creation, Maintenance, and Destruction.
Since you are a part of nature, this applies to you.
Each stage is valuable and necessary. One is not better than the other.
Winter is a season of destruction where what dies off provides fertile soil for Spring's creation. Summer moves into maintenance where the sprouts from Spring get extended life. And, of course, Fall invites the next phase of Winter's destruction.
When you think about a new year or a new beginning be conscious about the phase you're in.
Is 2024 a season of:
expansion where you're energized and inspired to create new things and reach new goals?
maintenance where you stay close to what you know and have already created in your life?
destruction and reinvention where you let things go so new can be born?
I have lived through each of these phases over the last four years. Naming where I was on my journey—Creation, Maintenance, or Destruction—helped me honor what was right for me and be on my side. This is especially true when I was in a season of destruction—aka letting things go without knowing what was coming next.
What season are you in?
Your answer can make a difference as you think about the new year.
The amazing thing about these universal laws is that you will move through all of them time and again. So, if you're in a phase of destruction—which can be challenging and even painful—know, you won't be in this place forever. You will cycle into creation again. And maintenance…and so on.
No matter where you are, no matter how you feel about 2024, your timing is perfect. There is nothing wrong with you. Learning to flow with your season versus resist or deny it is a growth edge.
If it would be helpful to share what season you're in, reply and let me know. Naming it and claiming it is a powerful way to release any stigma and/or invite in greater enthusiasm and peace—depending on which phase you're in.
I'm sending blessings ahead for you being even more the real you than ever before in 2024!
With loving,
Amber
