Before you rush into resolutions… pause.
Breathe.
The final days of December are sacred—not for goal-setting, but for honoring everything you’ve carried.
You made it through:
Things you didn’t think you’d get through
Unexpected turns
Internal battles no one saw
Quiet healing
Brave moments
Even if it didn’t look “productive,” it was still progress.
A Year-End Reflection Practice:
Light a candle. Sit in silence for 2 minutes.
Write down 3 things you survived this year.
Bless and release what no longer belongs to you.
Thank yourself for showing up—even when it was hard.
You don’t need a reinvention. You need recognition.
Celebrate your quiet strength.
The new year will come—but for now, just rest in the truth: you made it.
