Navigating towards the end of 2024 by Alexis Moon

As we hurtle towards the end of 2024, we could already be considering what potentials 2025 has in store for us.

November and December we are gearing up for the holiday season with parties, and planning get togethers with family and friends.

You may find outwardly, your life is full, busy and maybe a little chaotic.

Inside, you could also be feeling this and emotions bubbling up.

We can then come to situations being around family and it becomes a cauldron of possibly explosive situations.

Family generally know us (think they do) fairly well and can and do, trigger and press on sensitive points.

Family also have a set picture of who we are, the roles we play and that they’ve known us in.

When you are perceived one way and then feel don’t “be” that way, it can cause friction.

We are always changing and growing. Family may not fully recognise this, especially in a positive fashion and you may receive push back and phrases like “you’ve changed”. This may not be received in a manner you would appreciate.

As humans we are generally creatures of habit and when the status quo is upset and changes are seen more obviously, chaos can reign.

Your growth could upset the apple cart but in no way should this stop you from stepping into the new, and into the person you are growing into.

Where there is growth, there can be resistance.

Quite often this can show up internally at first, as we adjust to what we are guided to flow into.

We may kick and scream and distract ourselves from the steps we are being led to and what is aligned with our path.

The more we resist, the more our lives can reflect this externally as well.

Thus why I’m talking about family and to a lesser degree friends.

Family, our first introduction into the realm of this physical incarnation.

A brand new space to play in.

Some tips to navigate the potential space and transform the dread you may be feeling into more neutral or even a happier place.

*Communication – Be as clear as you can and know that others may not hear you as you wish.

They will hear what they think has been shared and this will be filtered through their lenses of whatever is current for them.

Breathe. This too shall pass. This is one moment and there will be another. Take each breath as a fresh space.

Be aware your breath can help keep you present in this moment. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not yet here. Awareness can help you stay grounded and less buffeted by others energies.
