Resolutions - a kindness or a hindrance?

Humanity uses these as a carrot and a stick - a way to incentivise yourself, but they actually end up defeating you. Why do you continue to do this to yourselves? It is not kind, and for most of you, it is unproductive. You overwhelm yourselves with good intentions without real desire or will behind them. Often, they simply feed into your insecurities and ego-based fears.

We urge you to consider another way. Envision this year ahead - what do you want it to look like? How do you want to be? What do you want to be doing? Notice we have said 'want'; it will speak to the ego, but is it a place to start. See what you get. Then, recognise the voice of the ego within it and challenge the ideas - do you need this? What is driving the desire to want it?

Often, it is a lack - of self-love, worth, or compassion towards yourself. These are the foundations of a good life - not wealth, status and power. Once you see that, you can set an intention for the year to empower you and lead to positive change. Affirmations, vision boards, and journals can help you gently rebuild these foundations.

For this year - choose Self-Love. Choose to like yourself, love yourself and be kind to yourself. That is not a resolution; that is a soul-supported need.
