Yesterday we welcomed the lunar new year.. the much publicised 'Year of the Firehorse'.
I've seen so many posts with lots of do's n dont's, so if you're feeling overwhelmed.. this is for you!
If you haven’t shed the old skin…
this is for you.
If you haven’t “released the snake,” cleared the energy, set the intentions and declared who you’re becoming…
If you’re thinking...
“Am I behind?”
“Was I supposed to have figured this out?”
“Should I have let more go by now?”
This is for you.
The symbolism is beautiful.
Shedding.
Movement.
Forward momentum.
The wild, brave, expansive energy of the Horse.
But this time can quietly make us feel like we’re behind.
Like everyone else has it sussed.
Like they know exactly who they’re becoming.
Exactly what they’re letting go of.
Exactly what they want.
And you don’t.
You are not alone.
You don’t have to have it all sussed out.
You don’t have to dramatically burn the old version of you at midnight to move forward.
Letting go is intimate. It’s personal.
You don’t have to plan it.
You don’t have to announce it.
It’s a process.
Sometimes it’s intentional and clear.
Sometimes it’s just waking up one morning and thinking,
“I’m not carrying this anymore”.
This is my work. How I have evolved.
And even I feel that subtle pressure to have it all neatly packaged and declared on time.
I reflect. I journal. I think.
But I don’t always have it “ready.”
And I’m okay with that.
I trust it will come when it’s ready.
You are not behind.
You are not late.
You are not failing.
You are exactly where you need to be.
And here’s a wee reminder:
Every single morning you open your eyes
is a new beginning.
Not just New Year.
Not just new months.
Not just “when I’ve done this or achieved that.”
If you want fresh start energy,
you can choose it in a few quiet minutes before the world wakes up.
Sit.
Ask yourself:
How am I feeling?
What do I want?
The answers might not come instantly.
But they will come.
With time, practice and faith in your own ability.
Trust that you’re right where you need to be.
And know you don't need to be following trends or timelines to change your life 🐛🦋
