3 Ways to Get Inspired in January and for the New Year ahead

Would you like to flow with energy rather than struggle to make life fit into your expectations?

Last year came with its fair share of challenges and that may have left you feeling uninspired about the new year ahead. The inspirational thing, however, is that you essentially have a new book and get to write 365 pages! Also, did you know that you are a powerful creator? Your past doesn’t define you but you do need to create new habits and upgrade your thinking to uplevel your results this year. Life isn’t meant to be a struggle but a free-flowing journey of energy that moves and evolves through continuous learning. Life is just like a dance.   

Here are 3 techniques for preparing for the future, flowing through life and helping you get inspired:

1. Numerology - be guided by the energies of the universal year and your personal year
2. The seasons - flowing with the season you are in 
3. Inspirational quotes - get fired up!

1. Numerology

Numerology provides insight to help you face the uncertainties of life and understand where you are in your personal journey. 

Universal year energy: As we are have entered 2023, we have started a 7 universal year and this means we will all feel its effects helping us learn more about ourselves and life. The characteristics of the 7 year are:

• An inner voyage
• Feminine energy so you will need to spend more time slowing down and receiving. It is not the time to forge ahead.
• The aspects of your life that you feel unhappy about will need to be confronted to encourage you to aim for the life you want. 
• You may feel stuck and lost at times, but remember you have all the inner resources and strength to get you through. By stopping and slowing down you can receive the answers to your questions.
• Use this year to understand your gifts and talents and leverage your emotional and spiritual experiences. This is a wonderful year for soul-searching and understanding your life purpose.

Personal year energy: Your personal year cycle, lets you know where you are in your 9 year cycle and what energies you have access to. To calculate your personal year, you simply add up your birthdate, month and the calendar year. An example is if you are born on 9 January and the year is 2023. The calculation is 9 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 17 and then you want to reduce this to a single figure which is 1 + 7 = 8. The personal year in this example is an 8 year.

3. Inspirational Quotes

You can receive inspiration from reading quotes and then applying them in your daily life. Here are 5 quotes to inspire you:

• You have within you more love than you could ever understand - Rumi

• Make it a practice to judge persons and things in the most favorable light at all times, in all circumstances - Saint Vincent de Paul

• The choice is yours to make between a sleeping death…or a happy waking and joy of life - A Course in Miracles

• If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things - Albert Einstein

• Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny - Lao-Tze.

Reduce the struggle and take advantage of the energies available to you so life can support you. Be one with life. 

Here's to living your best life!
