Hi, dear Soul –
Warm greetings and blessings to you!
May you be filled with lovingkindness.
May you be safe and protected from all inner and outer dangers.
May you be well in body and mind.
May you be at ease and happy.
———————————————-
In January of 2012, I started a new annual ritual: thinking of a word that would set my intention for the coming year.
In 2012, it was YES.
In 2013, it was FAITH.
In 2014, it was LOVE.
This year, I’m making two changes:
1) I want to make a COMMITMENT to my word (take action) rather than just set an INTENTION (make a plan);
2) I don’t wait to wait until January 1st to start living my commitment!
SO… My word for 2015 is ALLOWING.
In the coming year, I commit to ALLOWING my good to flow into my life… to appreciating all that is and to being eager for all that is coming… and to leaving my limited thinking behind… so that I can step fully into loving service with my words and music and live my ACTUAL SIZE.
I will do this by following the 4 steps of Mastery:
– TRY SOMETHING NEW (in my thoughts, words and actions)
– JUMP RIGHT IN (and not wait for conditions to be perfect)
– ASK FOR HELP (and remember that I am supported in every step of my journey)
– STICK WITH IT (and enjoy the Mojo of MOMENTUM – the increasing ease and flow that comes with persistence).
Feels GOOD.
And so it IS.
With gratitude, I say YES to ALLOWING!
In honour of allowing, I offer you the new video of my song “Jump Right In” (https://www.nathenaswell.com/category/video/)
(You can find the words to “Jump Right In” here: https://www.nathenaswell.com/lyrics/)
May it help you to allow YOUR word for 2015.
How about YOU, dear Soul?
