It is an emotionally powerful time right now so be gentle with you. Hear me? I mean it. Self preservation mode. Gentle activities, gentle foods, gentle kindness. Stop the doomscroll, recognize the value in flushing the shit wherever possible. Garbage thoughts go in the mental dumpster. Life is too precious, you are too precious, and your powerfully positive internal fire needs love and oxygen to BREATHE, baby.

REVIEW: Where in the past year have your behaviors and actions missed the mark?
Now, self-judgment is involved, so utilize compassion, recognizing the judgment is providing important information for self-improvement, and allowing the judgement to move you forward with new choices for yourself.
Write each thing that missed the mark, taking time to let yourself flounder. Think on ways you missed the mark in each of your life categories: home, relationships, your body, prosperous purpose, spiritual self. Where does your behavior add to struggle?
If your behavior effected others you should take time to talk to them about it, with truth in connection and apology, and clarity that you intend not to repeat the behavior. If you can toss the paper into the fire and burn it away, do that. Or stick the paper in water and watch the words bleed away. Or tear it into a million pieces and throw it in the trash.
Sometimes patterns of behavior are revealed and you will need to do some investigation into why. What is happening for you that is prompting you to miss the mark in this way and how can you change this? Sometimes all that is needed is your awareness and a commitment to not do that again. Sometimes you need to give yourself new tools of support to inspire new actions and behaviors. Decide how to support yourself. Take some time to converse with your truth, to see it and sit with it, to ask yourself questions and wait for answers.
Call out to the sky, the environment you share, the spirits with which you connect and ask for help in improving yourself and releasing the actions and behaviors that add to life struggle. Announce your readiness for better.
You are like an archer with action and behavior arrows, now that you’ve done this analysis you will improve your chances of hitting the bullseye. I wish you better better better.
Also? If you looked at your behavior and saw a lot of ways you hit the mark, give yourself some praise. Way to show up. Way to live in a way that honors your potential. Way to be. That matters. You matter.
Breathe. Root. Ground. Drink water. Do a skin scrub. Clear clutter from your house. Eat some vegetables. Cuddle loved ones. Bake something yummy.
Blessed be.
