It was my birthday last week and while I’m not a birthday person (don’t need big surprises or gifts), I’ve found that sacred time is absolutely essential.
They’re not days that I need a ton of external validation, but I CRAVE internal validation. Seeing myself. Honoring myself + my needs. Getting coffee, rest, and creation, in whatever form it wants to take.
Now let me say, as an external processor, I do love being witnessed. I usually take this to someone close to me at some point in the day. Speaking my truth is a part of my integration + it brings me joy to share.
As I go deeper into the personal development work, I’ve found that these simple things bring me joy + they give my life meaning. They help me refine the direction of my life + allow me to sink into flow.
These are a few places I pause + celebrate + honor on a birthday.
Day of Birth Soul Acknowledgement
- What is asking to be cleansed and cleared? Literally, what have I been carrying that I’m choosing to release now.
- What is asking to be welcomed? Jam on Desires. At least 50, because Desire likes to flourish + I like to play. Not all will stay. The unimportant will peel themselves away, easily. But the juicy ones, they are revealed farther down the list for me.
- Who is the woman that I desire to grow into? My desires are going to require me to grow. What in me is asking to be owned? What in me is asking for growth or transmutation?
- Who + What do I desire to love this year?
What do you love to do to honor yourself on your birthday, love? I’d love to hear from you. In fact, most of these practices developed because I heard about how other women in my life celebrate. I was craving that. Reply here or !
In the glorious month of the Leo, I send you love,
Jess
