A couple posts ago I spoke about the recent Lunar new year and the energy of the Fire Horse coming in. New energy, new motivation and a clearer path forward. Now I want to talk about what came before, what made space for all of that to be possible – the year of the Snake. The snake is about shedding. It’s about letting go of the things that are not serving you so that you can move forward with more intention.
I have spent the last few years in an expansionary period in my life. I made lots of new friends, tried lots of new things and put myself out there in ways that I never would have expected. Its been a great learning experience and I don’t regret any of the interactions that I’ve had in that time – even the ones that were painful as they have taught me things about myself. But in recent months I found myself pulling away from some of the people and events that have filled my time in the previous few years. The conversations seem more forced, the excitement for the events is waning. I’m discovering who and what aligns with my values and purpose and paring down activities to what is important to me. Some of that paring down has been my choice and some of it came unexpectedly, but I am trying to let go of the need to control the outcome and trust that everything that is happening is for my greater good.
With a new mindset and a new sense of self I find that I no longer find some of what I was doing fulfilling and I no longer resonate with some of the things I thought were important to me. I’m making my circle smaller, I’m giving energy with intention and I’m moving forward with purpose.
