The sun dips low into the horizon as we circle back into the cool quiet part of the year. 🍁 🎃
New Year’s Day is America’s traditional time for making resolutions and letting go... but in many cultures and traditions the autumn/fall of the year is used for this process. Samhain, Halloween, Day of the Day, Yom Kippur, All Soul’s Day... all honor the “deaths” we’ve experienced in the last year. These holidays match perfectly to the time of year when half of the earth (northern hemisphere) is dying back until the growth of spring. Right now, we’re making way for winters chill. The dead of the year.
❄️
Reflect on the things you’ve been able to release over the past year. ✍️ 📖
Is there anything lingering onto you that you still desperately wish you could escape?
Bad habits? (Be honest with yourself! We all have them!!)
Uncertainties and worries?
What thoughts make you anxious?
Hat have you learned from the past that helped you grow?
As the sun sinks into night this evening, light a candle, take some time to write answers to these questions, and then burn your page. Let the flame of the burning page illuminate thise corners of darkness that you’re cleansed of now. Those things don’t serve you. Let them go. It’s time for them to die, so you can live. 🔥
