As I reflected on the last year, a theme that I had not anticipated emerged.

It’s self-trust.

• I now trust that when I set powerful intentions, they come true, even if the how is not clear yet. By setting the intention to monetize my work at the beginning of the year, opportunities I never heard of presented themselves, and I got hired for the first time to teach my work.
• By launching my first workshop at the end of the year, I now trust that I can generate income if I leave my job and start my own business.
• I now trust that when I believe my work is worth so much, the universe agrees and I receive from sources I do not expect. For example, someone paid me back some money I gave a year ago on the same day of the workshop launch.
• Now that it’s finally a habit, I now trust that meditation helps sharpen my intuition.
• I also now trust my intuition more than ever; my gut feeling told me someone was bad news, and it was right.
• I now trust that affirmations work, specifically repeatedly writing them in the morning.
• I now trust that when I respect my menstrual cycle and rest more, I achieve more.
• I now trust that when I start typing, meaningful words will appear, eventually.
