In pulling cards this morning, I received a message of freedom. When I’m working on particular themes or patterns, I often receive confirmation via oracle/tarot card pulls. As it happens, Freedom is my word for 2025. I don’t ever sit down with an intention to choose a word. Often times, the word or phrase will make itself known in meditation, dream state, oracle readings etc. If I don’t acknowledge it or work with it, the messages can become more frequent or insistent. The part of this message that really stood out for me was this: “select meanings that empower you”. It sounds simple, right? When we take moments of quiet or stillness, it’s much more obvious which patterns we are following out of habit or embedded neural grooves.

What do you want your default patterns to look like? Feel like?

A great place to begin, that doesn’t have to be too complicated is, observe. That’s it. Pause for a few minutes each day and revisit your self-talk. Jot it down in a notebook or on your phone. Pause again maybe once a week and review the past week. That’s your starting point. Happy with what you remember/see in your notes? Great! Keep it up. Not so much? Comment here or reply to the email with your list. I’d be happy to workshop some alternatives with you.

Do you know you are ready for a deeper dive into showing up more fully as your true, vibrant self? Work with me. Together, we can build sustainable habits and practices that are more soul nourishing.
