Planting Seeds in the New Year
By: Abby Twyman | December 31, 2021
We have no choice but to launch ourselves into the New Year... but the choice is yours as to how you want to launch and where you want to go!
If you're willing, how about we do a little exercise together?
I'd like you to get out your self-expression tool of choice... video? audio? speech-to-text? typing? writing? drawing?
Ok, now that you're ready to express yourself, I'd like you to close your eyes and visualize the following...
Imagine you have 27 seeds ready to plant and get started growing over the winter.
Now, pretend that you have the power to instruct the seeds what to grow into.
Next, think about what it would be like if only nine seeds (1 out of every 3) grew to harvest.
Finally, consider what you would instruct those seeds to grow into if they were your deepest wishes, hopes, and prayers?
Breathe into the emotions. How are you feeling? What are you thinking? Now... open your eyes.
Take out your self-expression tool along with a timer set to 9-minutes.
Give yourself 9-minutes to respond to each of these self-expression prompts.
- In 2022, I will...
- In 2022, my family will...
- In 2022, my community will...
Now, look back at each of your responses and set your timer to 1-minute.
For 1-minute, respond to the following committed action prompts.
- In the coming 5-months, I'm going to...
- In the next year, I'm going to...
- Before the end of time, I'm going to...
Alright, friends, I hope you enjoyed that exercise as much as I did!
If you'd like to share your responses, email me, give me a call, or find us a time to chat using calendly!
Awesome! Ok, now on to the news you've all been waiting for... what's to come in 2022?!?
