5 Ways Make Your Life Better and Easier in 2024, Starting NOW
NOW IS THE TIME
Take a time out to reflect on your journey in 2023. I know. I know. The year isn’t even over yet and what surprises are waiting for us?
But, spend a few minutes reviewing the past year to prepare yourself for 2024.
Now, spend a few more minutes to celebrate the new year coming up. Cook a yummy meal. And, while you’re at it, turn on some good music and dance a bit in the kitchen.
Prepare for the new year with a fresh start and include, front and center, bold capitals, your GRATITUDE. How far have you come this year?
When you are celebrate the coming of 2024, include a new project. Pick something to open your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual selves to new ideas.
STEP 1
NOW IS THE TIME
Things you may do to get ready for 2024 can include –
smudge your space,
set up a gratitude altar,
Reiki everything.
Send a ‘thank you’ card or note to someone you haven’t checked in with in too long ago
Collect a box of items to give away or release to the universe.
While you’re focusing on these things (and others you’ve thought up on your own), honor your intuition. After all, your intuition is the voice of your soul talking with you.
STEP 2
NOW IS THE TIME
On another day, as you think of 2024 –
light a candle.
Pick up a project you worked on months or weeks ago and then set down.
Think kind thoughts for yourself by writing a list of your very best qualities.
Take a few moments to hear from your deepest wisdom.
Give or receive a reflexology or other healing session.
STEP 3
NOW IS THE TIME
On yet another day or evening, as you welcome 2024 –
Connect yourself with your physical surroundings.
They, along with your physical self, will be supporting you in the coming year.
Open yourself to being and seeing your surroundings. Gain inspiration from your
spiritual self to support your environment.
Do you have an occasional energy deficit?
Never forget that your energy is boundless. All you need is within you.
You may not feel you have all the energy you want. But, never forget,
everything that you need is right there, in front of you.
Take several deep breaths. The air around you brings whispers as it nudges you along to the new year. It brings truth, inspiration, and new ideas for 2024.
When the air brings its gifts, the element of fire comes along to help you.
STEP 4
NOW IS THE TIME
Your free will always boosts your journey. That is no exception as you enter 2024.
As the new year progresses, you may gain a deeper understanding of what is happening if you journal about events and people that make you the most uncomfortable.
Don’t forget to enhance your meditations and journaling with your favorite crystals.
STEP 5
NOW IS THE TIME
In 2024, stay in touch with your intuition:
Go for a swim.
Take a bath or shower.
Meditate while sitting on the earth.
Go for a walk in nature.

10 Steps to Inner Fitness and a Life That Unsticks Itself.
We’ve all got a lot on our plates these days. All of us.
We’re at a point where it’s time to return to normal.
The question is this: What is normal anyway?
Certainly it’s not what we had before. It’s time to make way for a better life..
Whether we’re interested or not, our spiritual centers need encouragement, support, and protection. Inner fitness smoothes out the bumps in our travels through life.
I don’t know if I speak for everyone, or even anyone, but I find myself embracing this new normal while experiencing grief.
With a grounded inner core, a new normal is easier to find and recognize. Essential requirements for inner fitness include encouragement, support, safety, and self-confidence.
There are things you can do:
Think Positively.
Positive thoughts are essential – even before you get out of bed. When you wake, ask yourself “How can I be happy today?”
Happiness is the great equalizer. You are never too young or too old for happiness. Happiness doesn’t need education. Happiness doesn’t need good health. Happiness is the only thing I know that is available to everyone.
All happiness needs is for you to “be happy.”
Listen to Your Body.
When you listen, your body will talk to you. It will never lie to you as healing begins. Inner fitness is real.
Are you trying to adjust to your new reality? Do you want to change your life? Is something wrong, and are you trying to find out what?
Tune in to your body several times a day. Do you have pain anywhere? Is your spine aligned? What is your energy level? Are you hungry? Thirsty? Tired? Joyful?
Good Health is a Priority.
When you value your good health, you become a valuable person. You love yourself. When you expect excellent health, your thinking changes. Life unsticks itself.
Claim your wellness!
Respect Your Emotional Self
Your feelings are opportunities to grow. Emotions are messages from your body which will help set you free. Your emotions can help you understand pain, extra weight, sorrow, fear.
When you remove these feelings, you make way for joyful health, peace, grounding.
A better life emerges.
Connect with Your Community.
Get a part time job.
Or a full time job.
Read a newspaper.
Use your library.
Volunteer at a food pantry.
Join your local church or synagogue.
Teach someone to read.
Include Exercise Every Day
In 1513, Ponce de Leon discovered the Fountain of Youth in what is now St. Augustine, Florida. The Fountain of Youth still exists and keeps people everywhere healthy. There is at least one branch of it in your neighborhood, located on a sidewalk or roadside where you can walk every day.
If that’s not convenient for you, another nearby branch is in your local fitness center. You’ll be healthier when you visit it regularly.
Take a Grounding Break
Try meditation, walking your dog, giving your cat a massage, or staring out the window into nothingness.
The activity isn’t so important. What’s important is that, when you complete this small task, you’ll have given yourself a refreshing, grounding break.
You’ll continue with your day feeling more positive, relaxed. Your fresh new take on the day will ripple out to those around you.
Review Your Situation
Now might be a good time to write about important moments in your life. You don’t have to focus on what happened in your life. Focus, instead, on what you did about what happened to you.
Write short stories, essays, poems, or keep a journal.
Whatever you choose, if you need help, you may find it at your library.
Reflexology and Reiki
Do not overlook a weekly session. Both these modalities bring homeostasis which is crucial these days. Both these modalities are adaptable to many different situations.
Do you practice Reiki? No? Find a teacher. If you do…have you thought about a Reiki circle for your area?
We all need more Reiki. We all need more reflexology.
When I think about Reiki and reflexology, my heart sings!

Maintaining Your Good Health – Inner Fitness for Life
We each have an inner core, a spiritual center needing encouragement, support and protection. Your inner core lets you travel through life with minimal bumps. When encouragement, support, and protection are deficient in some way, you run a risk of developing a lack of self-confidence. There are ways to give yourself a boost. Life is easier with a strong inner core.
THINK POSITIVELY
Put yourself in a positive frame of mind before you even get out of bed. Ask yourself: “What can I be happy about? What makes me happy?”
CONNECT WITH YOUR COMMUNITY
Volunteer someplace. Get a job. Read a local paper. Use your library. Get into your community.
INCLUDE EXERCISE OF SOME KIND…EVERY DAY
In 1513, Juan Ponce de Leon discovered the Fountain of Youth in what is now St. Augustine, Florida. The Fountain of Youth still exists and keeps people everywhere healthy. There is at least one branch of it in your neighborhood, located on the sidewalk or roadside where you can walk every day. If that’s not a good option for you, the other nearby branch is in your local fitness center. You’ll be healthier and your body will thank you if you visit one of these branches every day.
CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT
De-cluttering is a bit of a fad and it’s okay with me. This grounding and uplifting exercise has become part of my daily schedule. I spend fifteen minutes every day clearing out clutter in a room. There are books written about it. Reading one is a good idea if you need a starter boost. Whether or not you read a book about de-cluttering, your inner self will be more fit when you adopt this habit.
REVIEW YOUR SITUATION
Now might be a good time to journal about important events in your life. Or short stories. Or poems. Or anything that seems appropriate for you. You don’t necessarily need to focus on what happened to you. The important thing is what you did with what happened to you.
SUPPORT YOURSELF
Do something nice for yourself. Think nice thoughts about yourself. Your nice thoughts about yourself are a treat, a gift you give you give to yourself. You deserve it.
