It is New Year's Eve, the last day of this year, which was filled with chaos, uncertainty, fear and lots of loss. And, although none of us were left untouched by the chaos, we have come to understand that through that chaos emerged a new order. Through the chaos, you and I have indeed grown, expanded, and become much wiser. And, through the adversities, we have learned to trust more in our true and higher selves. Today, on this last day, make time to create a list of what this year has taught you and for what you are grateful for, before you set your intentions for the new year. Then, set your intentions to step into the New Year choosing happiness for yourself and those around you. Remember, happiness is a choice that comes from within. Regardless of your external circumstances, your perception determines your emotions.

So, set your intentions to choose to look on the bright side of everything. At every point in time, and especially when confronted with imminent change, you have a choice of whether to embrace or to resist. Embracing change requires courage and trust because it’s always unnerving to step outside your comfort zone. But when you trust and embrace, change can bring you excitement, growth, and infinite new possibilities. You will find yourself forging new fulfilling friendships, relationships, successes, and joys. New ideas will emerge into manifestations. Imagination and dreams will become a reality. A new phase will continue and take you forward with the flow. Today, we get to set the course for a new phase/new year of our lives. May you flow with the energies of change and embrace this wondrous gift of life, along with its mystery and excitement, into the unknown, into a New Year.

Just for today, I am willing to change. I release all resistance to change and flow easily and lovingly with new challenges, new experiences and new people who enter my life. I feel safe in the rhythm and flow of my ever changing life. I am grateful and in truth, everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
