Year of Thirty MORE.

 

"In this new year, I want to attain and sustain MORE of what feels good to my spirit! MORE of what fills me up; not what leaves me feeling drained and empty. I want to live in abundance and thrive in its presence."

Well, we have made it through the first week of the 2021, and wow, what a ride!! Though we have already experienced some (well, a lot of) mayhem and chaos, I am still choosing to remain hopeful that this year will be nothing short of a blessing and a miraculous time of turn-around and healing across the globe.  

With the commencement of a new age (for me), a new year, and the ending of such an unreasonably crazy past 12 months, I have been in deep thought and have been spending significant time introspecting, praying, journaling, and focusing on what is working in my life and what could use some modifications or removal. I’ve drawn some concrete conclusions, and I feel good about knowing how to move forward in 2021 in a way that reflects the most evolved version of me, and the even better version of myself that I desire to be. 

As a December 31st baby, I am someone who takes entering new years and being given opportunities to hit "reset" with great appreciation; I mean, every single year, I get to celebrate turning a new age and simultaneously celebrate the start of a new year. How can I not take that with great regard? 

With that said, I strongly feel that 2021 is not a year that we should play with or navigate through without clear intentions. If 2020 taught me anything, it taught me to take all facets of my life seriously, including my physical and mental health. Though I am a person who thrives on the idea of fresh starts and new beginnings, I did not begin 2020 and the age of 33 with a specific vision or word to focus on and manifest (I know, I am surprised, too). Yes, I had goals and accomplished some of them, but I still wish I had started the year off with a mantra and one phrase in mind in that I hoped to manifest in my life. I am not sure that if I had, my year would have played out differently, but I am not taking any risks in 2021, and after great contemplation and reflection, I have decided on my word of the year. My word is simply: "MORE."

Yes, I want MORE in 2021.

Though 2020 came with blessings that I am thankful for--and one of them is just merely being alive and making it through the year--I spent a lot of time feeling depleted and as if I was lacking something internally. I guess that’s what happens when the world stops, and you have more time than you’d like to think and overthink. However, I don’t want to experience that hollowed, gut-wrenching feeling in this brand new year of 2021.

In fact, I REFUSE to bask in that discomfort in 2021 and year of 34.

In this new year, I want to attain and sustain MORE of what feels good to my spirit!

MORE of what fills me up; not what leaves me feeling drained and empty.

I want to live in abundance and thrive in its presence.

AND MORE of everything that causes my 34-year-old soul to two-step in sheer bliss!

Yes, that’s it, MORE. 

That’s the word for my 2021, and my year of Thirty four! 

What’s your word that you’re manifesting in the new year? Let me know in the comments. :)
