On Fridays I do my Dream Status Report which is a series of prompts I use every week to help me have more clarity, momentum and groundedness on my path. I do my reports on the printable journaling sheet.
Looking back, it actually feels like I started the new year this week.
Personally and professionally, I have some goals and some sense of how I want to approach them.
"New Year" just feels like "looking ahead" to me and I love this.
Even though I'm in a VERY quiet and hibernation-y time and really enjoying that, I love that it feels like I am putting things together.
I REALLY love HOW I am doing things right now.
I especially love the way I am holding dreams and plans.
Before "everything changed" (the way the worst of peri-menopause and the pandemic hit my life at the same time and left me so overwhelmed my brain has not been working like it used to, plus nothing in the world is like it used to be either) I was a PLANNER.
I had been exploring ways to be more flexible about how I IMPLEMENT, to give myself more space to be where I am on any given day without losing the plans completely.
Plans are important to me. They are a form of security and stability. (I know this is not true for everyone!) So, looking ahead to 2025, I feel pretty secure and stable right now. Which is fascinating to me, especially since, if all goes as planned, this is the year I will legally get divorced.
We define Creative Dream Alchemy as "meeting yourself where you are and moving towards where you want to be"
The part where I meet myself where I am feels... I don't know, deeper or more powerful or more important. Like I am giving that more SPACE. And not being all "but I have to cheer up and get to work or I'll miss my deadlines"
It's a real sense of trusting the process, and trusting myself and my creativity.
When I am on, I am ON. I can get so much done in a day when I am on... and sometimes the next day I can't really get anything done.
This is where my brain is at right now, and I am accepting this and working with it and even.... enjoying it(!) Resting, journaling, meditating, making art, sewing, going for a walk... these things are so helpful and restorative and they help create that next magical "ON day".
I've always been this way to some extent, but it's more dramatic right now and it fees like I am shifting my relationship with how I get things done and I just feel really good about it.
We have the Hello 2025 Blessing Ceremony today!
To bless is to MAKE HOLY. Which our dreams already are, but spending this time reflecting on what we want to do and then blessing it just feels so good. It creates a sturdier foundation to dream from over the new year.
