🔑 We must be willing to take space for ourselves.

---

In one of my live calls yesterday in the Ascend + Align Accelerator, we talked about something so many people overlook—the importance of creating space to process transitions.

Too often, we rush through life’s changes, whether it’s the end of a season, a birthday, a vacation, or even a move. In that rush, we rarely pause long enough to acknowledge the emotions that surface.

Yet, these moments matter. They are opportunities to reflect, integrate, and create space for what’s next.

🟧 The Emotional Weight of Transitions 🟧

We move so quickly—always planning, always trying to make each experience perfect, fun, or restorative. But when we finally slow down and fully enjoy these experiences, something happens: returning to “real life” feels jarring. The shift back to routine stirs up unresolved feelings we didn’t even realize we were carrying.

And if we don’t allow those emotions to surface—to be seen, felt, and processed—they don’t just disappear. They settle into the body, creating:

▫️ Internal pressure that makes it hard to move forward with clarity.
▫️ Anxiety or restlessness that keeps us from being present.
▫️ A sense of disconnection from the very things that bring us joy.

✨ But here’s the good news: Allowing these emotions to come up creates space within us. And that space? It’s what allows us to re-engage with life and step into alignment with fresh energy.

🕰️ Why January Has Felt So “Off”

---

If you’ve been feeling unmotivated or frustrated trying to jump into the new year—you’re not alone.

Energetically, the transition from the 2024 holiday season into 2025 has been delayed. The momentum didn’t really kick in until this week, leaving many feeling like they were pushing through sticky, sluggish energy.

💡 If you’ve been wondering why you couldn’t just snap back into high productivity—this is why! The shift is happening now, not weeks ago.

🌌 Moving Forward with Alignment 🌌

If we want to create alignment and fully step into our next chapter, we must integrate two essential things:

✔️ Releasing pressurized energy in the body—this comes from resetting and rewiring the nervous system to calm and realign. Otherwise, unresolved tension stays in the body, making it harder to create space for clarity and ease.

✔️ Expanding our capacity for discomfort—alignment isn’t just about feeling good; it’s about learning to hold space for growth edges without shutting down. When we step into bigger actions, discomfort will arise. The key is learning to stretch through it instead of retreating.

It’s Not Just About Letting Go—It’s About Taking Action ✔️

Tools and techniques can absolutely help you release activation, reset your nervous system, and create space.

✨ But what you do with that space matters.

The real transformation happens when you use that space intentionally—when you stretch into action and take steps toward a life that fully reflects your inner desires.
