2023: A year of Growth and Prosperity

 Happy 2023!

I can already feel the powerful, bright energy of this year from around and within me. I'm excited all the potential this year has to hold for me. I'm quite literally starting anew this year. In September I was at my lowest, I had a quarter life crisis, unemployed, lost, anxiety ridden in a foreign country (Israel), my future felt bleak. I hadn't been home in 10 months and I needed my family. So I packed up my whole life in Tel Aviv and made the decision to move back to America to be closer to my family. Yet, I was still so unsure of this decision even right before I left I considered in my mind coming back. So I arrived back to Upstate New York and although I was comforted and loved so much by my family, I immediately felt it wasn't where I wanted to stay. I knew my potential could not be reached there. I'm so grateful that my family is supportive of me no matter what. Although I felt guilty telling them I'm going back to Israel they knew this was the right decision for me. I had been building a life in Tel Aviv. I built rare friendships that I did not want to abandon and an independence that I did not feel in America and I didn't want to give up on it. 

I arrived back in Tel Aviv on New Year's Eve which I think is just another sign for the universe that I needed to ring in the New Year here. With all this change happening in my life, leaving my family and having to practically start over in Tel Aviv with a new job and apartment, I am leaning into self-care and trusting the universe right now. I already know this year will be filled with self-love, dream fulfilling, manifesting and overall positive energy. I started reading this book called Manifest by Roxie Nafousi. It discusses the steps to actively manifest things into your life. Not only imaging they will happen but writing out exactly what you want to happen in detail, trusting and believing in the universe, practicing daily affirmations and actively making your dreams come to fruition. These are all things I want to put into practice this year. I want to create a routine for myself everyday, filled with mediation, positive affirmations, journaling, yoga and just doing things I'm passionate about. Through this I really believe I can achieve all my goals and dreams, among those finding my dream job, finding my soulmate, and traveling the world. I'm so excited for everything to come for me this year. 

I'll leave you with a quote from Nafousi's book, "Choose to nourish our mind by replacing the negative thoughts with empowering ones."

If you are reading this, I'm sending you light and love for your 2023!
