6 Energy Cleansing Tips for the New Year
Now that we are three days into 2024, how are your resolutions feeling? I’ve never been great at resolutions because, to be honest, the idea of a resolution sets us up for failure.
So many of us get sucked into the idea that we need to make big changes, make ourselves better in the new year, fix what is broken, because we are surely broken, right? The problem is that it’s dark and cold outside, the cedar is popping in Austin (if you don’t know about cedar allergies, consider yourself SUPER lucky), and I’m so exhausted after all the holiday festivities. I’m just not in the right mode for planting seeds and making changes. I want to hibernate. I want to nourish myself. I want to make some space and find clarity to manifest what I’ll plant in the spring, when everything feels renewed and fertile.
Rather than setting hard goals and resolutions, an easier way to invite change in to the new year is to work with the energy in your space, and CLEAN THINGS OUT! (Don’t let my emphasis on that make you believe you need to clean out your entire house.)
Here are 6 easy tips to shift the energy in your space to create clarity in the new year. These don’t all have to be done on the first day of the new year. You can spread it out over the first couple of weeks or even the month of January. Give yourself grace, and know that all it takes is shifting things little by little to eventually make big shifts in your life.
6 Energy Cleansing Tips for the New Year:
Open the windows, let in the sunshine. This might be tricky if you live in Austin and are allergic to cedar! But letting in the sunshine will bring in the fiery energy of the sun that will help with motivation.
Clean out the refrigerator. There's no no better way to plan for healthy, nourishing foods in the new year than making space for them.
Put fresh sheets on all the beds to help you get restful sleep moving forward into 2024. This will also provide a space for you to nap and hibernate to recharge during these darker days.
Sweep the floors, dust surface spaces. The act of sweeping gets energy moving (witches know what’s up!), and it feels nice not to have a layer of dust on all your things. If there is dust I guarantee there’s some stagnant energy (no judgement, we all get a little dusty). Make sure you get behind the furniture and under the beds.
Light a candle, burn some incense. Fire and smoke can help cleanse the energy in the air. We’ve had the fireplace going at my house lately, which is a lovely way to shift the energy.
Make noise. Ring a bell, play some music. Sound is all vibrations, and vibrations help get energy moving in your space.
Take your time. Give yourself grace, and make space for all the goodness 2024 has in store for you. It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about finding clarity to see what is already perfect within you.
