The year 2024 is truly shaping up to be one where many of us are being called to explore how we wish to be in the world moving forward.
We might be pondering how others see us, how do we see ourselves, but most importantly, who are we really?
While it can feel frustrating and confusing at times, I believe if we can find quiet moments to just be with all we are feeling, answers will eventually bubble to the surface.
Perhaps some sadness too. But it’s a beautiful opportunity to honor it all.
In fact, I think it is vital.
I’ve certainly had my moments of swirls of emotion lately, followed by moments of clarity. Then moments of relief followed by moments of strength and trust that all will be well.
This brought me to remembering a fun exercise I heard on a podcast a few years ago. The woman being interviewed (wish I remembered who!) shared these three prompts:
- How you want people to see you.
- How people actually see you.
- Who you really are.
Hint: the clue is to really be who you are! 🙂
As an insightful and fun exercise I added the element of pulling cards from an animal themed oracle deck and put this together in a free booklet I hope you will enjoy.
Animals have helped and guided me over the past 25 plus years to see aspects of myself I wanted to hide, while also showing me my strengths, and cheering me on that I can be who I’m truly meant to be!
As an example here is my card pull answering the prompts provided in the booklet and using the deck I created, Animal Reflections Healing Oracle.
The wonderful thing about doing this self-reflection exercise is that you can re-visit it once a year (or more!) and pull new cards because you are always changing and evolving.
I hope you will enjoy giving it a try. I know when I pulled Peacock as who I really am my heart burst with joy!
May you come home to the heart of who you really are too.
