Start The New Year off with a Clean Slate & Positivity.
The start of a new year is the perfect time to reflect on the past and set intentions for the future. While some individuals opt for resolutions, others prefer to participate in rituals that help them welcome the new year with a fresh start and positive attitude. Here are three rituals you can incorporate into your daily routine to start the New Year off on a positive mindset.
Clear Your Space: Start the new year with a clean slate by clearing out any negative energy in your space. You can do this by smudging your space with sage or palo santo to absorb any negative energy. Both have been used for centuries for their cleansing properties and ability to clear negative energy.
How to smudge your space with sage or palo santo:
You will need a bundle of dried sage or a piece of palo santo wood.
Crack a few windows.
Light the sage or palo santo and let it burn for a few seconds before blowing out the flame. Walk around the space you want to cleanse, waving the sage or palo santo smoke into every corner and/or room. As you do this, visualize the smoke absorbing any negative energy and carrying it out of that area through the already opened windows or doors. If you feel inclined to do so you can also incorporate a prayer or mantra while doing this. For Example " I cleanse and release all negative energy or any energy that does not serve me or my highest good"
Keep in mind that smudging is a spiritual practice and should be done with intent and respect. Take the time needed to set your intention of the energy you want to release and the energy you want to bring into into your space. To ensure you can create a clean and positive environment and to start the new year off on the right foot.
Set Intentions: Setting intentions is a powerful way to manifest your desires. Take some time to reflect on what you want to accomplish in the new year and write down your goals. You can also create a vision board with images that represent your intentions.
Here are some steps to help you set intentions for manifesting your desires:
Get clear on what you want: It could be anything from a new job to a loving relationship or improved health.
Visualize your intentions: Once you know what you want, visualize it in your mind. See yourself already in possession of what you desire. Feel the emotions of joy, happiness, and contentment that come with achieving your goal.
Being very specific write down your intentions: You can do this in a journal, or using a vision board. Use positive language, affirmations even pictures to help you focus on what you want to manifest.
Believe in yourself and the universe: Believe that you are capable of manifesting your desires. Trust that the universe will provide you with what you need to achieve your goals.
Take action: Finally, take action towards your goals. Yes, you need to take some action. This could mean applying for a new job, going on a date to find a partner, or taking steps towards improving your health. Trust that the universe will support and help you in your efforts. This can be by providing opportunities, setting synchronicities or giving you reassuring signs. Make sure you keep a watchful eye out for these.
Setting intentions is a powerful tool for manifesting your desires, but it requires faith and persistence. Keep your focus on what you want, and don't give up faith that the universe will provide for you.
Practice Gratitude: Gratitude is a powerful emotion that can bring positivity and happiness into your life. While it is easy to feel grateful for the good things in our lives, practicing gratitude daily can help us appreciate the smaller things. Some examples are as simple as a delicious cup of coffee or a kind smile from a stranger.
Here are three ways to practice gratitude:
Use affirmations: Affirmations are positive statements that can help you reprogram your mind and create a positive mindset. Try starting each day with an affirmation of gratitude such as “I am grateful for my children” or “I am thankful for the love and support around me.” Repeat these affirmations throughout the day to reinforce your gratitude practice.
Create a gratitude altar: Creating a physical space in your home dedicated to gratitude can be a powerful reminder to practice gratitude daily. Choose items that represent things you are grateful for such as pictures of loved ones, a candle, or a crystal. Spend a few moments each day at your altar, reflecting on the things in your life that bring you joy and appreciation. You can even incorporate a gratitude jar when you can write and keep all the things you are grateful for throughout the year.
Keep a gratitude journal: Every day, write down three things that you are grateful for. Remember it can be as simple as enjoying the company of someone or enjoying the warmth of the sun on nice clear day. Focusing on the good things in your life will help you appreciate them even more.
Practicing gratitude is a simple but powerful way to bring positive energy into your life. It can help shift your perspective and improve your overall well-being.
Try incorporating some or all of these practices so you can start the year off with positive vibes and set yourself up for positive outcomes. Remember to stay focused on your intentions and trust in the universe to bring you what you desire. Look for synchronicities and don’t be surprised at how quickly you will start noticing them.
Happy New Year! & Don't forget to Join if you haven't already done so you don't miss out out!
