As we move into the new year, you may be sensing an energetic shift. There are a lot of changes happening on earth, both energetically and physically which means we often feel it emotionally. As the seasons change so do we.

You may be find yourself no longer engaged with what use to bring you joy. You may be bored or feel like your efforts are not making a difference.

Through times of uncertainty it is essential that we stay true to ourselves.

November and December are important months because they set the stage for the next year. Use this time to reflect on your goals and focus forward with clarity.

If you feel weighed down by specific people or situations, use this time to consciously create a stronger foundation for your life. Which means walking away from things that drag you down.

Through uncertain times, it is an ideal time to release old thought patterns, fears, relationships, situations and things that no longer serve you.

Rather than spending time focusing on what isnโ€™t working, instead pull all of your energy into what is going well and focus on what you want. Use deliberate action toward those goals and you will see changes happen quickly. Here are 3 steps to take to help you stay true to yourself through uncertain times.

  1. Guard Your Thoughts
  2. Journey Inward
  3. Be of Service

    I absolutely loved your advice and will surely follow it. I feel this need to withdraw within my thoughts/emotions/apartment as November moves on, and I’m going to respect that need.

    Thanks for your wise advice ! Healthy food, exercise, dark chocolate and tea should help, too ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Fall can be a difficult time for many people because of diminishing daylight and seasonal depression. I particularly liked when you wrote that we can use November and December to think about upcoming changes for the new year. I just never thought about that. I usually prepared myself for the new year last minute. Thanks for this publication. And congratulations on your success on mindbodygreen.com. MC

    Hi Shannon. Thank you so much for your insights. I found them helpful as I try to reach a different plane of thought over a breakup and awareness that I can better take care of myself in my career, even as changes are afoot at the office (leave or stay as the old guard changes a bit?). Allowing myself to honor myself is hard and it is always good to remember that it is healthy to do.

    Thank you so much.

    Hi Shannnon

    Thanks for this advice. Just got sacked from a very negative environment. Being positive I thought that it happened for a reason and I had to find the reason. The truth I believe was that I deserve to be working in a more positive environment and I had to embrace uncertainty and I had to raise my standards. I believe that they did me that most powerful thing that could have happened.

    Congrats on your advice.

    This video really released some pressure off my mind, and heart. I recently was in a really difficult relationship , it was more so me chasing him than him chasing me. Unexpectedly he broke up with me and then quickly got another girlfriend. <– I was frantic and extremely depressed. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, and answer questions like : how ugly am i or how less intelligent am i than his new girl … This broke me and its still in the process of being healed. I believe yours words really saved me. Thank you and I cant wait to read your book.
