Yes, I know it is only the second day of January, but I swear 2023 is going to be better, I can feel it.
So now you are saying "Jo-Ann, we have heard this last year." and you wouldn't be wrong, we ALL thought last year was going to be a better year. 2021 was a colossal let down after the dumpster fire that was 2020, 2022 had to be better, right? Nothing could be as painful and challenging as the past two years. Right?
Enter 2022.
We waited with bated breath, rubbing our hands together in anticipation of the year that would bring in goodness.
Instead of that goodness, the world saw a seemingly unprovoked civil war break out (there are many going on, but this one was scarier due what it meant for the rest of us.), we saw inflation rates rise, food prices rise, house prices skyrocket, gas prices balloon, businesses shutting down and mental health cases rise. 2022 was feeling more like 2020 too.
For as messy and ugly as it was, I believe that 2022 was a year of reflection, acknowledgment, and correction. We had to look at what we were doing to make shifts for what we wanted to allow in our lives moving forward. I mean, we cannot shift if we continue to allow the same shit into our lives. Did find yourself looking at the patterns that you were repeating, did you examine the relationships that you were holding onto just for the sake of holding on to them? Did you ask yourself how you could improve your relationship with money? Did you redo a resume? Did you decide that it was time to do soul work and healing? If you said yes to any of these things, then you my friend have already begun to shift what 2023 will be for you.
I had some shitshow moments in 2022 and I was tired of it. Just f’ing tired. I felt like just when I had things sorted, something was dropped in to set life off its axis. It was as if was on constant alert for bullshit to show up.
I had to be honest with myself and examine those aspects of my life that may have been contributing to the chaos, because I want 2023 to be different; no, I NEED it to be different. I decided that I was going to come right with my own behaviour. All of it, the dark, ugly and uncomfortable parts that governed how I treated and responded to myself and others.
That shit is hard. It means vulnerable, raw and naked conversations with self, family, friends and colleagues. But those conversations bring freedom to your soul self and your world into alignment. It’s your clean slate, start fresh, your opportunity to rebuild your foundation.
I know that many of my clients have had those hard conversations because big things shifted in 2022 for them. As tough as it was/is they are moving into 2023 more aligned and congruent to their soul self allowing for their becoming.
I believe 2023 is going to better. We did the work and continue to do the work to divest ourselves of energies, patterns of behaviour and attitudes that no long serve us. When we do this, we create room for what will.
Wishing you Truth, Peace, Power, Love for 2023
Love you
