What are you ready to burn?

Happy New Year Subscriber First Name

There are two powerful things I do every new year to put myself in the best energy possible.

If you’ve been here since the very beginning, you’ll have seen a live demo of one of them on our first ever F*** Mum Guilt event.

Without fail, I do this in the evening of New Year’s Eve, but it's not too late - do it whenever you can.

1 Burning Bowl Ceremony

Here’s the woo-free version of what it is and how to do it. It’s a ceremony involving burning anything you are just DONE with. It could be a burden of some sort, it could be mum guilt, it could be blame you are holding on to, it could be hurt that you can’t seem to move past, it could be resentment of a partner (I confess this was on my list).

How do you do it?

You give yourself a few minutes to sit down and consider what you are done with and really do not want to bring into the next year. A big one for me was Imposter Syndrome.
Then you list each one down on a piece of paper.
You cut or rip each item on the list off in a strip and fold it up and place it into a metal bowl and then when your bowl is full, light a match and burn the pieces of paper. Watch the flames and feel those things go. If you don’t have a fireproof bowl, you can chuck the paper in a fireplace, or flush it down the loo - whatever works for you.

Then you feel much better! I’m going to share a video of me doing the whole thing in our Facebook group.

2. Write A New Year’s Letter

This is a letter from you in a year’s time writing as if everything you want to happen has already happened. It harnesses a powerful coaching principle: the future self.

Think about what lovely things you would I like to experience this year, what you want achieve, where you want to travel to etc. This is the good part, so let yourself indulge in possibility.
Then take another sheet of paper and write “It is now 31st December 2025 and this year has been wonderful. I have…” and just go with the flow as you let your mind fill the page with things that would make you happy.
Really feel as if those things had really happened. This is partly about getting clear on what you want and partly manifesting.

Now tuck it away somewhere safe to open at the end of the year.

Your homework is to take half an hour for yourself and actually do this. Let me know how you found it.

Much love 🙏🏽
