The New Year…Your Way by Sarah King

The New Year, New You banners are out and swinging proudly for the beginning of 2026… However, what if you just aren’t feeling it?

This is normal. You’re not the odd one out.

We have all been there, maybe even there with you right now.

The end of December draws an immense amount of energy from us. We enter the holiday period, overloaded with demands, overwhelmed by additional social expectations, and overcooked with energy… Did anyone go to the mall in December… The chaotic energy swirling around is unique for the Christmas rush.

Then in the week of no man’s land between Christmas and New Year’s, we are torn… our body wants rest to catch its breath again, yet we are increasing the invisible pressure to “fit in” spiritually and complete 101 “New Year New You” tasks otherwise… well, the whole year would be a write off, wouldn’t it…. Ahhhh No my friend… Calendars flicking over a few days or months is not going to determine your success for the year or your lifetime…

Yes, I do set up practices at the start of the year, and yes, 6 months later, I may evolve them to keep up with the current version of myself without waiting for the 3,2,1 Happy New Year to tell me that everyone else is doing it now.

The key to these practices is authenticity and intuition.

I love to be open to new practices; I watch people embracing them or read about them, and then I take a moment to let them land in my awareness. I check in with my body and ask the question, “Is this a practice that will serve me?”

You can do this too. Just because it feels right for someone else doesn’t mean it feels right for you, and forcing yourself to complete a practice that is not aligning with your energy, especially when its objective is about the life you are in creation mode for, is actually running the potential to do more harm than good.

Take a moment to pause on this… If everything we create is backed by our energy, and our energy is feeling forced to participate in a practice that it’s not called to, at a time that doesn’t feel in flow, then will the rest of the year feel forced and out of flow?

Or if we come back to our true expression and open up to the practices that light us up when we feel our energy calling us, when we are feeling overflowing and alive, will our practice be intentional, true, potent and anchored into the energy that we call in throughout the year?

Be mindful. Be playful. Be open to new practices and remove the stagnant. Be intentional. Be engaged when the moment, the energy feels right for you.

It’s your Creation, no one else’s; you have full sovereignty to choose and create the magic in your life.

Sarah provides online or in-person energetic healing alignments designed to gently clear emotional weight, regulate the nervous system, and restore a sense of calm and clarity. These sessions work beneath the surface, supporting the body and mind to come back into balance without force or overwhelm. When your energy is aligned, decisions feel cleaner, your body softens, and life begins to flow with more ease. Healing doesn’t have to be hard… sometimes it simply begins with allowing yourself to be supported.
