As we stride towards the end of 2024, it's evident in our lives that everything begins and ends, for "nothing lasts forever." Yet, beneath this cyclic rhythm lies continuity. Our soul lives eternally, persisting through changes, losses, achievements, successes, and failures. Thus, the end of the year is merely a continuation. It should serve as a time for regeneration, mental refreshment, and reflection.

Reflecting on the Year's Joys and Pains

The passing year likely held moments of joy as well as pain and sadness for each of us. I encourage you to reflect on how this year has unfolded for you. Appreciate all the wonderful moments and be thankful for them. Recognize all the good that has happened to you.

Also, analyze the moments filled with pain. Perhaps you still harbor anger or resentment towards someone, or maybe you're upset with yourself. The arrival of the New Year is a perfect opportunity to forgive both yourself and others. Carrying old energy that continually impacts our mental and even physical health negatively is not worth it. Forgiveness is often the simplest way to rid ourselves of it.

The Power of Forgiveness in Personal Growth

However, forgiveness can be challenging for many. At our center, we teach our clients a simple technique that aids them in forgiving themselves and others. Here it is: take some sheets of paper and a pen. Make a list of individuals towards whom you still feel anger or resentment, including yourself. Write a letter to each person detailing what still hurts you. Of course, you won't send these letters. If I were writing it, it might look something like: "I, Marianne, am upset at you, John, for not helping me out when I needed you..." or "I, Marianne, am mad at myself for not standing up for myself when I needed to." The main goal of this exercise is to externalize all your feelings. If you don't, forgiving will be much harder. You might need to repeat this exercise several times before moving to the next part. As long as you still feel negative emotions, you aren't ready to forgive. Only when you feel that these emotions have left you can you move to the next step—forgiveness. Look at what you wrote on the papers where you expressed your negative emotions, and now begin to forgive each item. Using my earlier example, it would be: "I, Marianne, forgive you, John, for not helping me out when I needed you", "I, Marianne, forgive myself for not standing up for myself when I needed to."

After you have written everything, destroy these papers. As you do so, you might say: "Thank you, God, that these emotions are leaving me right now."

This simple forgiveness technique has helped many people free themselves from long-held grievances. You will find that if you approach it earnestly, with a true intention to free yourself from held grievances, the Universe will greatly assist you during this process. Do not ignore what your intuition tells you during this process.

The Role of Reflection in Personal Development

Reflecting on the ending year, it's valuable to consider what this year has taught us. We are here on Earth to continuously expand our consciousness through our experiences. By doing so, we become better people, further developing the divine qualities within us. They are all there, only in a dormant state. Through increasing our knowledge gained from experiences, we awaken them back to life. Thus, consider how you might have reacted differently to some of the events of the past year. Do not let guilt take over. It's not about criticizing yourself. Approach yourself with compassion, much like a student learning a lesson for the first time.

Know that God loves you very much and always cares for you. Everything that happens in your life is meant to awaken your consciousness. It's for you, not against you. Always ask God to lead you in the right direction and give you wisdom. May this New Year bring you a sense of renewal, new hope, and motivation. I wish this for you from the bottom of my heart!
