1.Reflection - Reflect on what these past 9 years of experiences have taught you about being kinder, honest, compassionate, and better to yourself, others, and mother earth. Experiences are meant to teach and expand you, not stagnate or hold you hostage by fear. As you reflect, focus on the blessings and the lessons learned. Practice mantras of forgiveness and compassion. For example, “I forgive myself for past decisions, self-judgment, and allowing others to disrespect me. I now choose to love and respect myself.”
