Happy New Year! The Theme for 2018 is Upgrade!

You Have So Much Support for Positive Change.
Welcome to Week 1 of The Colors of Your Week Kit for January 1-7, 2018

The first week of the year is like a blueprint of what’s to come, so this is possibly the most important Colors of the Week report for the year! Based on this report, there’s every reason to feel optimistic about 2018!

Your mantra for this year is: Anything is possible, and I’m open to the possibilities!

The theme for this year is: Upgrade.

This is year is all about loving yourself, every move and decision should come from a place of kindness, compassion, care. Give to yourself all the beautiful things you give so easily and willingly to others, the time is ripe to include yourself in all that love. Give with abandon to yourself!

If you’re willing to move fast, this is the week for you...and, I’d say this week is not for sissies! But if you can embrace the wisdom shared here and act on it, things will move.

Here’ we go, Monday and Tuesday, we are being directly called on to face our shadow selves.

What does this mean, exactly? It’s time to take an inventory of where you may be stuck in false negativity:

• Where have you become so self-absorbed that you feel your needs override the needs of others?
• Where are you projecting problems and pain and staying stubborn and stuck?
• What are you doing that’s causing stress for others around you because nothing seems to make you happy?
• What area of your life is making you feel stuck, angry, overwhelmed and maybe even enraged?

(Heavy questions, for sure! But you don’t want to carry all this stuff into the New Year, do you? Please keep reading...)

All this craziness, or darkness is your own shadow pressing in (and possibly creating chaos in your life) while calling for your loving acknowledgment.

Take a step back and view these behaviors and feelings as if there were coming from a confused child…and move compassionately from there. Remember that children do not know any better and react instinctively.

How can you teach yourself (as the child) how to better manage these overwhelming feelings? (Quick recommendation here: The Case of the Missing Sparkle takes you on an inner journey of healing. Also, it’s free.)

Set an intention to stop justifying, to absolutely be seen and forgive yourself and have compassion because you didn’t know any better!

Wow! Powerful start there! (this is just for Monday and Tuesday)

Don’t forget to celebrate yourself and your willingness to change and improve! You’ve got this!

Midweek is a much different vibe. It’s like the exhale to the beginning of the week, where we can stop, look around and start to sincerely clear things out we no longer need (and this can be mental, emotional and physical garbage and debris). Whatever form it takes, and it may take all three, this is the time to sort, sift, and declutter… you’ll know what areas need it the most.

Don’t be afraid to let things go that you’ve been holding onto for a very long time (even when you knew they were worthless or unneeded).

There’s no better time than now to take an honest inventory of anything that’s blocking you in anyway in any area of your life and find the power and strength to clear it.

When we let go of anything willingly, it energetically creates a vacuum which draws things towards you, so build off what you learned at the beginning of the week and use the supportive energy now to set some positive and powerful intentions for change.

Finally, beginning Friday through Sunday, we are encouraged to BE OURSELVES.
What does that mean?

First look around and see where you’re maybe not being yourself or even where life has pigeonholed you into a role that stifles and overshadows the true you.

You know you’re more than “mom”, “friend”, “boss” or any other label someone else sees you as, and now’s the time to breakthrough those limiting and prejudged stereotypes! Stand up, be you, stop participating in any ways that keep the labels alive (you know what those behaviors are).

Trust that you can do this.

You have every right and the energy supports you to connect with the people around you authentically as your own gorgeous, unique and beautiful self, while knowing deep within that all is well.

Adding to the intensity of this week is the Super-Moon on Monday, which acts as a magnifier for all we do this week, it’s a super booster for change in where ever you put your attention.
