Here’s to a short, sweet and very to-the-point post this week: Wishing you a happy, healthy & healing new year and time……….after a challenging couple of years, filled with the Covid pandemic, climate change and all kinds of chaos: political, environmental, social and personal. We were isolated and confronted with all types of change: how we work, how we live, how we learn, how we relate….If we were listening, to both ourselves and the universe, we would have gotten and taken the hint to change things (and ourselves) around, first and foremost, by looking inward.

So this is it, friends. This is the year to continue this inner journey or to start it, if you haven’t yet. If a global pandemic, political and social chaos and climate crises all over the planet haven’t convinced you, ………..

As a Life Coach NYC and as a Mindset Coach, I’ve found that the 3 P’s below are essential for you to get to, so that you can rediscover and reconnect to the real, authentic you.

NOTE: for those of us who live with anxiety and/or trauma, getting to these 3 P’s may be a bit more challenging, so you may want some additional help (ie: Mindset coach, Trauma-informed coach, therapist, somatic therapist, etc.)

The 3 P’s:

In future posts, we’ll get into more details about these 3 P’s and we’ll continue from last week’s post to kickstart your New Year for success!

Now…….the 3 P’s….

1)PURPOSE(S)

2)PASSIONS

3)PRIORITIES (Values)

1)PURPOSE: this is your ‘why’; who you are (meant to be) and what you’re meant to do. You can have more than one purpose. For example: I would say my purposes (at least currently) are as a: healer and creative (emoji of a woman painter or painter’s palette) and your purpose(s) may change over time. One of our purposes as humans (in my humble opinion) is to love and be loved. This can be parent love, child love, intimate love, friend love, love of humans, love of nature………and let’s not forget self-love.

2)PASSIONS: these are what give you joy; what puts you ‘in the flow’, ‘in the zone’ or in bliss………..For some, this may be raising a good-hearted child, or painting or coaching (these last 3 are some of mine) or helping others (in various ways). For some, this may mean working as an athlete, or as a teacher, cop or firefighter, or just being that wonderful compassionate person who shows kindness and love to strangers (ie: smiling, asking how they are, etc.). Whatever gives you inner satisfaction and joy, when no one else is looking, is your passion or passions.

3)PRIORITIES (or Values): are those values that are most important to you. Some examples: caring for your kids; giving to others, in all kinds of ways (volunteering, helping older and/or sick neighbors, friends and family, and more………). Other values might include: health, self-love, healing, growth, learning, financial security, etc.

We’ll get back to these in the weeks to come…….

For the New Year:

If you haven’t already, please sweep 2021 out of your home, while keeping its good lessons and then, open your doors and windows to let in this new year 2022, with all its new opportunities, possibilities, learning and growth. I recently read that it’s an old Irish tradition to open the door to your home on the new year, to let out the old (literally) and then, when the new year begins, to let in the new. I love this tradition----- to physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually let out the old and ring in the new!

You may want to allow January to be the month where you sit still, center and be comfortable in solitude. Do some dancing around the room (or shaking your body) to release stress, tension and trauma and then, do some deep abdominal breathing and sit in silence. Get out of your head and into your body. See what comes up----you may just get a hint…or two or three or many……as to your purpose(s), your passions and your priorities.

When you start the year, or week or month, in introspection and self-appreciation, you’ll see the rest of the year follow suit.

Happy 2022!

Wishing you a year full of fabulous fun, good health, learning, growth, healing and adventure…….. You deserve it!

With smiles and love,

Dr Gigi
