As we end another year, I will be creating special space.

This has become an end of year practice in my life. I disconnect from normal work, commitments and demands for 2 weeks. I give myself the space to rest, reflect and recreate a vision for the next 12 months.

I use this space to explore the depths of my inner world, examine my stories, dream like a child and invest energy into the people I care about. That continues to evolve as the “real work” in my life.

I also create this space to transition.

Moving from one annual cycle to another deserves an intentional pause. A lot of life happens in 12 months. I choose to fully acknowledge that before moving into the next 12 months.

The following words are an invitation, not instructions.

Keep anything that feels useful to you, let go of the rest. Every line below is crafted from my creative being. Every line below may offer you something if you make yourself open and available.

—–

Create space to REST.

Step back from your normal routine, discipline and demands.
Play and surrender more than usual.
Fall back in love with mother nature.
Let your system realize peace.

Create space to REFLECT.

Celebrate the experiences that made you feel most alive.
Learn from the experiences that were out of alignment.
Honor the people that made you feel seen, heard and loved.
Accept and integrate everything.

Create space to RESET.

Reforge your reality with a fresh perspective.
Face your deepest truth with courage.
Let go of anything that no longer serves you.
Clean up all of your beautiful messes.

Create space to REIMAGINE.

Forget what you think is right or wrong.
Ignite your child-like curiosity.
Dream bigger dreams.
Breath into a future that’s worth fighting for.

Create space to REFOCUS.

Clarify your agreements, intentions and priorities.
Bring genius and focus to what really matters.
Plant the seeds that will nourish your soul.
Design, build and grow with purpose.

Create space to become your FULLEST EXPRESSION.

An activated, alive and wildly authentic version of you.
That’s what the world needs.
That’s how you taste real freedom.
That’s where you will find all that you need.
