Welcome to Love Notes from Rhonda.

And today it's time to get ready for our tomorrow, which is the last day of the year.

As you probably know by now, I am a big date person.

I love dates because they give me a definite time to claim more of myself, release things that no longer serve me, and move forward in the direction of my dream so that I can move forward fearlessly.

So these are what dates mean to me.

You may not have that same love that I do, yet I do invite you to think about the energetic field that's being created throughout the world.

Because the world is moving to the end of the year and it is moving into a new beginning.

And how we end one year is how we begin the next.

Let me say that again.

How we end one year is how we begin the next.

So today, let's prepare for that ending of tomorrow so that we can move forward into our next year more free, more courageous, more willing, more fearless, more you.

Because isn't that what we all wanna be?

More ourselves, More comfortable in our skin?

So today I invite you to do some reflection on what worked for you this past year and what didn't work for you this past year.

What did you love about this past year?

And what would you not like to repeat from this past year?

What do you know now that you must let go of?

Maybe you knew it a year ago, but you just haven't let go of it yet.

What do you know right now that you must let go of, must release, so that you can move forward?

What is it that's dragging you back on your shoulders, pulling you down?

It's time to start identifying those things, those people, those situations, those thoughts that weigh on you and do not give you permission to fly.

These are the things that I want you to be thinking about today and journaling about so that when it comes to tomorrow, we can burn or throw away or drown those things so that those can be left behind on the 31st of the year.

So just think about what worked, what didn't, what supported you, what didn't support you, what did you discover you needed this year and what do you want to claim more of for next year?

So, for instance, maybe it really supported you to ask for help.

Maybe you finally practiced asking for help in the last 12 months.

Well, that probably supported you.

So maybe you want to bring that into the next year.

You want to make sure that you continue skill building asking for help.

Maybe it's gratitudes, maybe it's acknowledgements, maybe it's creating intention.

What did you make an effort towards try practice at all this year that you would like to become more of an expert at.

Next, these are the things that I want you to name and label so that you can take them into the next year.

So just imagine that you're going to have one sheet of paper that says, all the things I release, I let go, these no longer serve me.

And you're gonna have another piece of paper that says, these are the things that work for me, the things I'm making an effort at, things I'm wanting to try, things I'm wanting to get better at, things I wanna claim for myself that I am enough, that I am worthy, that I am all that I need, right?

Like I have connection within myself and therefore connect to others.

I can live in integrity with my values.

I can live in alignment.

My body, my mind, my heart, my spirit.

Those can be true for me.

And I devote myself to practicing it in the next year.

So you're going to have a page of Letting go release.

You're going to have another page of I want to claim and own for my next year.

I want to keep them, I want to claim them, I want to own them, I want to love them, I want to honor them, I want to practice them.

And then the reflection questions of what worked for you this year and did you write your 100 gratitudes and 100 acknowledgements over the last 30 days?

I really invite you to write, if you haven't done it already, 100 acknowledgements for yourself and 100 gratitudes for the world before the end of the year.

And if you can only get 10, that's okay.

If you only get 15, that's okay.

But make an effort because the more that you can write down your gratitudes, the more that you can write down your acknowledgments, the more that you can claim those things that you are moving towards, the more confidence you will have.

The more you will trust yourself, the more powerful within your skin you will feel.

And when you have that confidence and trust and power, you will have more courage to live your passion and purpose, more ability to say yes when you mean yes and no when you mean no.

So just take time and reflect on the past year.

What worked, what didn't.

What was the thing that you learned the most about?

What did you shift about yourself the most?

What did you become aware of this year that you didn't even know about yourself last?

What did you fall in love with this year?

What did you learn to respect more of this year?

What did you decide to honor this year?

Were you more vulnerable?

Did you ask for more help?

Did you admit when you didn't know something?

Yes.

Yes.

And more yes.

So I invite you to just jot down some things about the past 12 months and then how you might want to end it.

Is listing three words that summarize the last 12 months.

What are three words that summarize the last 12months?

And then of course, you know what I'm going to ask you tomorrow, right?

What are the three words that you want to describe the next year?

And of course, we want to pick our one word of the year to claim.

But that's tomorrow.

Today.

Just do some journaling, some reflection on this past year.

What did you gain from it?

What did you learn?

What did you grapple with?

How kind were you to yourself?

How compassionate?

How much did you live on your wheel of fear versus wheel of freedom?

What relationships did you cultivate this year?

How much more supported do you feel?

And if you don't feel supported, what are the things that you weren't willing to do or ask?

What energizes you now that maybe you didn't give yourself permission to feel that passion for a year ago?

And what surprised you about this past year?

What surprised you about yourself?

What surprised you about people?

What surprised you about events?

What surprised you?

Use today as a reflection period to get to know yourself a little better so that you can walk into the next year more awake, more awareness, with more self mastery, to be the you that you were born to be so that you can live the life your soul intended.

Until next time, be fearless.

I love you.
