My Word for the Year: Expansion
Every year, I choose a word that becomes my guiding intention—one that aligns with where I’m being called to grow. This year, my word is EXPANSION. Expansion in my business, my energy, my mindset, and how I show up in the world. I feel the pull toward something bigger, and I know that stepping into this next level requires both trust and action.
But expansion isn’t just about external growth—it’s about an internal shift. It’s about
becoming more of who we truly are, shedding old limitations, and aligning with our highest potential.
If you’ve been feeling like you’re on the edge of something greater but unsure how to step into it, you’re not alone. Expansion calls to all of us at different times in life. The key is recognizing it, releasing resistance, and fully stepping into the energy of who you are becoming.
Signs You’re Ready for Expansion
You may not always realize it, but your intuition knows when you’re ready to grow. Here are some common signs:
✅ You feel a sense of restlessness, like your current reality doesn’t quite fit anymore.
✅ Old routines, relationships, or habits no longer feel aligned.
✅ You’re experiencing synchronicities—repeating numbers, messages, or “coincidences” nudging you forward.
✅ You’re craving deeper meaning, connection, or purpose.
✅ You’re feeling fear or doubt, but deep down, you know there’s something bigger calling you.
Recognizing these signs is the first step toward embracing expansion.
What’s Holding You Back? Identifying Resistance
Before stepping into your next level, you must clear the blocks that keep you tethered to your current reality. Some common forms of resistance include:
🔹 Limiting beliefs – “I’m not good enough,” “It’s too late for me,” “I don’t deserve this.”
🔹 Fear of failure (or success!) – Fear of the unknown can make staying in your comfort zone feel safer.
🔹 Energy leaks – Spending time with people or situations that drain your energy rather than uplift you.
🔹 Self-sabotage patterns – Procrastination, avoidance, or not fully committing to what you want.
Energy Clearing Exercise:
Write down your biggest fears or limiting beliefs about expansion. Then ask yourself: Are these beliefs truly mine, or were they passed down to me? Are they still serving me?
Release them by burning the paper (safely) or tearing it up, visualizing yourself stepping into a new timeline.
How to Embody the Frequency of Your Next-Level Self
Your next-level self already exists. Your job is to align with their energy.
Here’s how:
Energetic Alignment:
• Meditate daily and visualize the version of you who has already stepped into expansion.
• Surround yourself with people and experiences that reflect the energy you want to embody.
• Use affirmations like “I am ready to expand. I trust my journey.”
Emotional Shifts:
• Acknowledge any fear and reframe it as excitement for the unknown.
• Release attachment to the “how” and trust divine timing.
• Allow yourself to feel the emotions of already having what you desire.
Inspired Action:
• Take small steps toward your expanded self—whether it’s investing in personal growth, changing your environment, or saying yes to new opportunities.
• Speak, act, and make choices from the mindset of the person you are becoming.
