2024 has been a massive year. Huge.

I want to share some life lessons, in no particular order.

Everything is energy

Absolutely everything is energy. Everything is dual and a negative won’t come without a positive, light without dark. There are good days and there are bad days – the bad days will result in good days and the bad days will result in good days. It’s the flow of life and clinging to the ‘good’ will only result in suffering during the opposing time.

Once you know your boundaries, you need to protect them

Awareness of your boundaries doesn’t stop ill intentioned people from crossing them. You need to instate them and protect them firmly. I learned this year that it’s not enough to simply make an intention. I know I will no longer act like that, but the other person may push and push and you need to hold the boundary firm.

Your boundaries are the most important thing you have.

Joy brings abundance

Living a joyous life creates abundance. Like attracts like and joyful moments will create more joyful moments.

Aloneness but not lonely

Feeling alone when you’re surrounded by people, yet perfectly content on your own. Company is important, but the right company. I’m no longer willing to be around people who are not energetically aligned or who are energy vampires. Be around people who lift you up energetically.

Nature is the best healing tool

Looping back to everything being energy – retreating to nature, sitting on the earth and being around the trees is so healing.

Whether you’re gazing at the stars and things fall into perspective, or you’re watching the birds in the trees. Nature doesn’t give a fuck, she just keeps going and does her thing. Have you seen how amazing the clouds look sometimes? They don’t care if there’s an audience, they do it anyway.

There’s always a bigger plan

I struggle to release control and anxiety over the future, but this year I’ve realized there is no point in me trying to plan and control my life. All roads lead to one.

Plans fall out of place to make way for something better. Silly mistakes or detours are made to put you in the right place at the right time. There are no accidents.
Your intuition doesn’t send out a loud call, just a quiet knowing. It will lead you where you need to be and sometimes it will surprise you and take you where you wanted to but weren’t intending to go.

Life is to be lived

We don’t know how much time we have on earth. Enjoy the experience for what it is, nature will always provide. You will never be without.

Those of you who were reading my blog at the beginning of the year will be familiar with where I was at in my journey.

New year resolutions had looked something like this:
Strengthen intuition – practice yoga daily – daily tarot card pull – adhere to boundaries – no alcohol

It’s crazy to think back to where I was this time last year – there was no harmony in my life and the incongruity between where I was in physical and where I wanted to be was unsettling.

It’s easy to take things for granted – I’m very attuned to my intuition and have strong faith – but this is exactly where I dreamed of being 12 months ago.

I’m proud of myself – for someone who struggles to commit to things – I’ve held firm on my commitment to not drink alcohol. Alcohol no longer serves a purpose in my life and I’m so happy to be here.

I’ve become very attuned to my body and my cycle. I spend 2 weeks of the month under internal grey skies, but now I know I can navigate it and laugh it off. Bloody luteal! Maximizing follicular and ovulation helps me get the most joy out of time spent with friends and plans made.

You think you’ve come so far – theory is down pat, but in practice you’re still lagging and acting out patterns from the old paradigm.

At the start of the year, I was aware of the attachment style that was detrimental to how I interact in relation to others and decided to stop trying to date. In the year prior, I had ended a long term relationship and fell into a disillusioned and very manipulative rebound. This will not happen again.

2024 is about self worth and self respect.

Communication has always been a weak point for me and I’ve found it’s usually the root of my issues in regard to others.

Of course, there is a lag between intention and practice, so after a few months of navigating the dating field and realizing how ill-educated the men of this day and age (and country) are, I decided to turn my focus inward and heal those communication and self worth wounds.

Also, I knew what I am looking for in a partner and the landscape did not provide. I don’t need a partner by any means – it would be a luxury for sure but I am not willing to compromise on my desired attributes.

It’s no secret the feminine is rising and we will bring the masculine up with us, but they can only rise once they’ve allowed us to.

It’s actually quite funny – when you’re so focused on improving yourself you will magnetize what aligns with you, but being focused on yourself, you don’t realize. Don’t want it anymore.

Describing what you are waiting for then later realizing this was manifested in the person next to you is crazy.

We may have a case of ‘the one that got away’ but it’s okay – I’m still here and I’m better. That’s all that matters.
