This meditation is for YOU, and I created it to remind you that this is YOUR life, for your experiences, without judgment or pressure. Following Episode 51, where I talk about making this year a year to get to know yourself, this meditation offers a quiet pause at the beginning of a new year.

It also works at any time when you want to make space for yourself and remind yourself that there is no rush, all experiences in this life are for you!

There’s nothing to fix or resolve — only an invitation to notice, listen, and be with yourself as you are.

It follows Episode 51: Setting an Intention NOT a Resolution.

Thanks for Listening!

As we enter the New Year - 2026, many of us may once again be thinking about whether we should be setting a New Year's Resolution. Something we need to "work on" or change, about our lives, ourselves. But New Year's resolutions often fail, and sometimes this can add to those familiar feelings of beating ourselves up for not achieving, not making the changes we have been convinced into believing we need to make in our lives.

I offer something different for this New Year. Not a resolution, but rather, setting an "Intention". An intention is softer, and it's more like a reminder to ourselves of something that holds value for us - something we choose or wish to carry with us through our day, something personal to us. Not something we are told by the outside world we need to change. In fact, this message for you is NOT about changing YOU, it's about getting to know yourself this year. I offer this - instead of listening to the outside world which tells you maybe that you aren't good enough, successful enough, fit enough - setting yourself up for comparison and self-judgment - I offer you the opportunity to consider turning inward - making this year about YOU! Allow yourself to FEEL! Allow yourself to EXPERIENCE. Allow yourself to BE. Learn about yourself. Listen to the signals your body and your heart are trying to tell you. If you choose to get to know YOU, you may find that you begin to move toward a happier, healthier way of living, living in alignment with who you really are. And that can be transformational.

In the episode that will follow this one, I will be releasing a meditation to guide you through breath and body awareness, to take a few quiet moments to begin to discover you! So subscribe if you want to be notified when that is released. Taking a few moments to become familiar with the experience of just being YOU, being aware of you, may be a start!

I wish you a beautiful and fulfilling year ahead - one filled with discovery and experiences. My wish for you is to live in positivity, health and harmony.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on how we often sacrifice our time and energy by continuing to say yes to added responsibilities, without even questioning how we feel about them.

Whether it is adding to the list of projects or tasks at work because you don’t have the courage to say no, even when you’re already very busy; or whether it’s agreeing to participate in personal or other events when asked because you don’t want to disappoint; or maybe it’s giving your time at someone’s request because it seems like it’s just a small thing and it shouldn’t take that long.

Even if our gut is sending some sort of signal within, that you’re not really excited to add another thing to the list, we ignore it and let our thoughts convince us that it’s not such a big deal and we can get through it - telling ourselves that afterward, we will have our break and our rest. But it’s never just a little thing, because we’re always adding those things, sacrificing our time and space and sometimes our sense of peace.

During the holidays, we already find ourselves with a pretty long list of existing responsibilities created through tradition, with others added over time - in addition to events that also take place.

I thought I would share my thoughts as we get closer to the holidays, to give you a chance to consider where you may be saying yes out of habit or for fear of disappointing someone, while your body and your heart may be trying to scream no!

I share why those patterns that keep us in the habit of saying yes continue and how we can break them. We’ve become so unfamiliar with recognizing what we really want by feeling into how we feel, that we default to the tricks that our mind plays on us.

I share how becoming more familiar with how you really feel, by giving yourself the time and space to sense into your feelings, helps you to see the patterns of behaviour and break away from them.

I also reference the yoga principle of Samskara, where impressions from past experiences strengthen the patterns we keep repeating, making it hard to make a change. But the truth is, when you take the time to follow what you truly feel and overcome the fear of saying no, you’ll discover the strength to stand in your own sovereignty. You can use your voice to speak your truth, break those old patterns, and create new impressions that guide you toward your authentic desires.
