The Revelation: Beyond Daunting Lists

Remember the days when success and fulfillment were measured by a checklist? Hitting the gym five times a week, dreaming of body transformations, and longing for new experiences—I've been there, ticking off tasks without truly living. This year marked a significant pivot from the punishing cycle of New Year's resolutions to embracing a more gentle, nourishing approach: choosing a word or a feeling that encapsulates my year's aspirations.

The Practice: Infusing Life with Soulful Intentions

This isn't about goal setting in the traditional sense; it's about crafting a life bursting with the feelings we deeply crave. Inspired by Danielle LaPorte's wisdom, I've learned that our goals need a soul to truly thrive. It's aligning our actions with our core desired feelings—those that make us feel vibrantly alive.

The Feeling of 'Aliveness'

For me, 'aliveness' is key. Whether it's feeling the wind in my hair, connecting with nature, having heartfelt conversations, or leading retreats globally, these moments of genuine aliveness are what I aim to foster more of in my life. This year, my guiding word is 'embody,' representing a deep commitment to inhabit my being fully, embracing self-acceptance, respect, and reliance, and courageously speaking my truth.

The Invitation: Join the Journey

I invite you, my beautiful community, to embark on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment with me. Let's uncover the word or feeling that resonates with your soul, guiding your steps through the year with purpose and joy. I'm excited to lead you through this discovery process in an upcoming online workshop, where we'll explore and uncover the core desired feelings that will illuminate your path.

The Body Love Revolution

Stay tuned for an exciting initiative I'm launching, the Body Love Revolution. It's a passion project aimed at nurturing self-love and dismantling societal expectations surrounding our bodies. I'm thrilled to share more about this journey and to walk alongside you in embracing our authentic selves.

Embrace Your Word, Your Power

How we feel profoundly influences our choices and how we navigate life. This year, let's honor our true selves, embody the feelings that ignite our essence, and weave a tapestry of experiences that reflect our genuine nature.

Sending waves of love and encouragement as we embark on this transformative journey together. Here's to a year of growth, transformation, and limitless self-love. Embrace your word, your feeling, and let it guide you to the most vibrant version of yourself.

Namaste,

Emma Walkinshaw
