It was the time of the year again when I led my mind wander, to see what it brings to me in regards to my intention\u00a0for the year to come. As mentioned in a previous post, the intention for \u201cown it<\/a>\u201d for 2019 took a different turn over the year. In a good way at the end, just different than when I set out with that intention as the year started 12 months ago. So, I\u2019m curious what the term LIGHTNESS will bring to me in 2020. Will it be the way I think about lightness just now, or different at the end? And wow, not only a New Year but as well a new decade. Exciting somehow, no?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lightness popped up only about two weeks ago, just before Christmas. I was reflecting on the previous years and realised how I often felt kind of heavy, dull. Not in terms of bodyweight but in my mind, my thoughts, actions and feelings. I know I lost my easiness somewhere over the years. I find myself feeling too serious, too forced, too overthinking and I can\u2019t say that I particularly like that. I\u2019m missing the spring, the real joy inside myself on how I approach or react to certain things and situations.<\/p>\n

It might not always show on the outside, but over time we all get good in hiding, keeping those darker parts of us inside, no? But let\u2019s open up! Let us get some more light into the darker areas so that they lose their power, their heaviness and darkness!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure if lightness was the correct term I was aiming for. But the word itself settled quickly and deeply inside of me. You know that moment when you just know something feels right – when you take a really really deep breath and feel contentment, from within. Just thinking about the word made me feel lighter and smile. So yes, \u201clightness\u201d was settled even before I thought about the deeper meaning of the\u00a0word.\u00a0But checking the dictionary it was clear to me that this word was just what I was looking for. After all, it is as well used to describe<\/span><\/p>\n
