2023 initiated us into challenging portals of deep transformation. Many of us are still processing what we experienced. The insights and wisdom we received from witnessing our personal lives and the world stage require time and space to fully absorb and root into our bodies to become part of who we are now.
Here’s some guidance on integrating 2023 through journaling so that you can bring these new perspectives into dreaming up your vision for life in 2024.

Create a sacred container to reflect. Reflection requires quiet stillness and space. Set aside intentional time for this practice.
If you have an altar, bring it into this practice. Light a candle and make an offering of incense. You can also microdose and ask the sacred mushroom for their support in this reflection and visioning.
Take a few breaths to ground and anchor your energy. Send gratitude to the Earth, the Cosmos, and your healed ancestors of land and lineage for their support. Request support in integrating the wisdom of 2023 to help you create a vision and plan for 2024.

QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU REFLECT ON 2023 -

What are you celebrating?

List out all your wins, big and small. Think about the challenges you faced. What did you learn about yourself through these experiences? What did facing fear and resistance reveal to you about yourself?

What are you consciously releasing?

Think about the beliefs and perspectives that held you back, your attachments to expected outcomes that didn’t pan out the way you wanted, relationship dynamics that aren’t supportive. Where in your life do you still feel disappointment, regret, guilt or shame? What are they inviting you to witness within yourself?

Transformation always involves death to aspects of self. In what ways did you die last year?

How have your relationships changed?

How do you see yourself differently?

How do you see the world differently?

‍

What do you notice has shifted about your ability to be with discomfort and pain?

‍How would you like for this to be different?

Looking back at what you experienced, what is the overarching growth theme of 2023?

Name three pieces of wisdom you received last year that you are bringing into 2024.

‍

QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU ENVISION 2024 –

What makes you feel most liberated and fills you up energetically?

How can you prioritize and create more space for this in your life?

What is your North Star

The intention for your life that fuels and motivates you? How has it shifted from past years?

What do you feel a passion to create this year?

It could be an idea, a feeling, a state of being. How does this creation bring you joy? How does it serve the collective?

Give yourself permission to dream big. What does abundance look like for you?

Get specific. Where do you want to live / work? How much do you want to make? What does your typical day look like? Your lifestyle? Your relationships? Your community? How does this abundance serve the collective?

Name three areas of fear or resistance you would like to bravely face and lean into this year.

‍Where do you silence or shrink yourself? Where do you experience imposter syndrome? Where do you feel unworthy or not enough?

‍

Once you are done reflecting, close the sacred space by offering gratitude once again to your healed ancestors of land and lineage, the Earth and Cosmos.
