Jade Tailor Instagram – Often times we say we will create resolutions, but what about all the gifts we get to take with us? As we’ve now said goodbye to 2023, there are some lessons & blessings I’ll take with my into this year and I thought to share them… This was a very challenging year. One of the toughest. Though after coming out the other side I know it was here to strengthen me… therefore I wouldn’t change a thing.
So… here are my 12 lessons for the last 12 months. I hope you reflect on your own too:
1 – Trust. I always knew & believed in this but I was reminded of this on a deeper level. Everything (even the painful things), are happening FOR US, not to us.
2 – After health issues/ injuries this year, I am also reminded that my body is a miracle (as is yours and everyone else’s), & knows exactly what to do to heal itself.
3 – A “no” can be the most loving thing you can say.
4 – To receive can be a beautiful act of giving.
5 – Slow down. You’ll actually be more efficient.
6 – I lost/ was close to losing many loved ones this year. & though cliche, don’t for a moment take for granted your time with your loved ones… you truly never know when it will be your last moments to love them in this form.
7 – It is okay to take time for yourself & be gentle with yourself if you’ve hit your capacity.
8 – Do not run yourself to the ground for anyone. Honor your time and energy.
9 – Anger was the emotion I avoided most in my life, associating with past pain. Though I’ve learned that healthy anger is an indicator of a boundary and it is there to speak to you. Though most don’t know how to express anger in a healthy way (as we’ve seen on the media as of late).
10 – Surrendering and accepting what is… as it is. Not from a place of accepting what is unacceptable but rather from a place of seeing where things/ people/ circumstances may not be acceptable for you, yet not trying to chance it to fit in your life if it simply doesn’t fit.
11 – Self honoring is not selfish.
12 – When we’re in the thick of challenge… I promise the pain is temporary. Keep going. Remember, we can’t see the light without the dark & these moments will further illuminate the light. 🤍 | Posted on 02/Jan/2024 16:15:09
