New Beginnings 2022 – Six Points to Activate

We have definitely as of 3 December entered a new season - the traffic light system.  It will affect all areas of our lives, business, workplace, social, faith, recreation, and sadly for some people their relationships with others.

There is no point burying our heads in the sand and holding our breath awaiting a return of “pre COVID” life.  I see this as a new beginnings transition for us all.  Regardless of our views, interpretation of what is occurring around us, if we have taken the vaccine or are vaccine free, or whether you are one of the thousands who have tragically lost your job, businesses closures, loss of income and the myriad of other ripples on the pond.  

I want to give you six vital tips to ponder and walk in.  These will help you adjust to what is occurring in our nation, and steps towards being the best you with new sense of hope, excitement, and peace  

1. Know what you can change and effect, and what you can’t  

 Ensure you have a quiet time every day. This will help you know your place in this new season. What “lane” you are to be in where your focus is to lie. This will be different for us all as we are all unique and have different talents, gifts and beliefs and desires as to what we wish to achieve. Do not allow yourself to be distracted and taken of course moving forward.

2. Don’t look back

 Looking back will stop you from moving forward. So, don’t! Eyes forward is part of adjusting to the new season and letting go what is gone. This can be challenging, and might include people, cities, jobs or even unfinished projects. Looking ahead will reveal whether you need a fresh vision for your future?

2.  It's a time for endurance and faith

Regardless of your views it will be a time for us all to have endurance and faith activated. Due to changes made, and the “suddenly’ s” still to come, so our faith is to be solid within us to enable us to be adaptable and nimble mentally and in the practical things. So, we can hold firm to the decisions we make to readjust and an endurance within can be established. Faith enables us to not shrink back. (a believe for what is not yet seen to come about. Be it a goal you wish to achieve or a knowing for something to occur)

4. Keep your Love on

 For people around you, and in the circumstances, you face which may be upsetting to you, we keep our love on.  We are all in a time of adjusting and doing the best we can.  This may not be easy with many emotions at play.  But we ensure we purposely walk in kindness, self-control, gentleness, patience and strive to maintain our inner joy and peace to continue to be our best self as we move forward.

5. Give Your Heart Space to Adjust

 The last eighteen months, with all that has gone on, the interruptions and change, well need I say more. We allow ourselves to hand over all our doubts, fears and even trauma and wounds to God. We ask and allow God to minister to us and affirm into our inner being. It is a time to internally reconcile and be revived.

6. Let go of worry, anxiety and disappointment

  Release these anchors so we can shift gears into wonder and new possibilities waiting for us. A new year ahead, lets enter our creative mode. We break any agreements we        have with doom and gloom; we sever all ties to anything trying to keep us tied to the past season. We allow ourselves to dream.

 

My desire is to encourage you all to not be afraid of a fresh slate which many of us may be sensing.  What comes from it will be fresh and new.  We must allow ourselves to move out of the old and have faith for an overflowing new beginning to take place in our life.   What awaits us - for new innovation, creativity and new exploits in any or every dimension of our life.

Let’s stand tall.  Let’s have a healthy confidence to walk into for 2022 with HOPE (a positive expectation for good to occur) and release and close 2021. We are not to allow ourselves to be going around and around that familiar mountain.  We refuse to be stuck, confused, indecisive or frustrated.

We are in a new season, and it will be good for us all when we choose to look at the good and have within us a heart of thankfulness.  We focus on the good that God is doing in the earth right now, and what is on His heart right now for us all.

Wishing you all a fabulous enjoyable and MERRY Christmas with your friends and family as you come together and celebrate the day.  Ensure you put aside your own individual world views on the current situation.  We choose to maintain the attitude of unity and family first, not quarrelling or division.
