As 2024 comes to a close, it's natural to be thinking about the New Year. This is a wonderful time to pause, rest, and reflect on what you would like to create in 2025.
Give yourself some time to set your intentions and decide what you would like to experience this upcoming year. You can do this on New Year's Eve, or in the days leading up to it as well.
When you choose what you want to create, and find ways of aligning your energy with your desires, magic happens. The Universe kicks into high gear and things begin to unfold in amazing ways for you.
You deserve that magic; it's why you're here. You're meant to decide what you want, find alignment with it, and then to experience the beautiful manifestation of your desires. Setting your intentions is a lovely way to begin the year on a high note.
Here are some mindful ways to welcome in the New Year:
Create a vision board.
I'm a big fan of vision boards, you can find an entire blog on them here. Vision boards are a wonderful way to get clear on your intentions and find alignment with them. You can set aside a few hours to create your vision board, or it can be an ongoing project if that feels better to you. You can even create some affirmations about the different subjects on your vision board.
The aim of a vision board is to capture the feeling of what it's like to be living your desires. You want your vision board to inspire positive, uplifting emotions within you. And as you keep those happy feelings alive within yourself, those beautiful dreams on your vision board will soon become your reality.
Declutter.
Decluttering your spaces is so important. Your home, office, or business should be as tidy and clutter-free as possible.
Set aside some time to tend to the clutter. Toss or recycle old and broken items. Take care of any paperwork that is lying around. Let go of things that no longer align with who you are. If there are clothes you haven't worn in years, or items from a previous relationship that are weighing you down, release them with love. Donate them and pass them along for someone else to treasure and enjoy.
When you release the physical clutter in your life, you will release emotional clutter too. Everything in your space carries energy that affects the way you feel. When you keep your spaces neat, tidy, and full of things that you love, you feel better, and you'll create room for what you want to flow easily to you.
Write a list of the best things that happened this past year.
Think about some of the most wonderful things that happened over the past year and write them down in a journal. What were your highest points? What did you succeed at? What did you love most about this year?
A simple journaling practice like this can shift your energy and set you up for even more success in the New Year. You may even feel guided to continue on with that positive focus and keep writing down your blessings as they manifest in 2025.
Book a session with your favourite healing practitioner.
Whether it's a massage, a Reiki session, reflexology, a clearing for your home, etc., a session with your favourite healing practitioner can help you feel more open, relaxed and ready for the New Year.
It's another way of gently releasing the old, so you can easily welcome in the new.
Choose some crystals that align with your intentions for 2025.
If you're a crystal lover, select some crystals that align with your desires for the New Year. You can wear them as jewellery, place them on an altar, or keep them close to your vision board.
Here are a few crystal suggestions for your intentions:
Abundance: Citrine, Pyrite, Tiger Eye, Moss Agate
Self Love: Rose Quartz, Pink Agate, Carnelian
