Your suffering doesn’t reduce anyone else’s. And yet, knowing how many people are struggling can be really heart hurty. We continue the crown chakra work with some reflection to help you move into the holiday season and 2025 feeling more embodied and integrated in the best possible ways…
This post was first published on 7/12/24 with exclusive content for Half Moon, Full Moon and Super Moon members of the Sole to Soul Circle: Self Care for Trauma Recovery, ADHD and More. SUBSCRIBE HERE
Trauma survivors and people with ADHD often have heightened empathy (from a lifetime of having to understand others’ feelings and moods for your own safety and wellbeing) as well as more sensitive nervous systems. As 2024 and the Love Your WHOLE Self chakra journey draws to a close, focus on yourself and honour your own progress. As you feel stronger, you can potentially do more to have a positive impact in the world, too.
Lessons and blessings sounds cheesy but offers a really simple way to reflect, process and integrate the last 12 months
Grab your journal or recording device (for some embodied journalling) or any pen and paper (doodle or sketch if you prefer that to writing or recording) but however you choose to do it, note the lessons from 2024.
The tough times.
The learnings.
Things you’ve overcome. Even if barely or still going through it.
If you were to even IMAGINE the problem trying to help you in some way, let yourself make something up around how these challenges have been preparing you / trying to help you in some way – do not rush this. No need for toxic positivity but it’s a powerful tool when the time is right.
Then note the blessings.
All you’re grateful for.
Again, not forcing anything. Just letting the little miracles and joys come up for remembering.
Notice how you feel.
ACTION: What are you going to do this week to honour how far you’ve come in 2024 and before?
