Hello! We are about to
welcome December in days, it’s time to execute one of my plans for this blog.
As I said in the previous post, I will have weekly message section which
contains any random messages I get for each week. I want this new section to
help more people. Even though I write it for each week and month, the
messages are timeless. They are meant for you if you accidentally find and read
them even 2 weeks or months after being published.
Since it would be weekly
messages, I also create monthly message which covers all the weekly messages I
got for a month. Monthly message will be more like a big theme for the month
which contains 4 or 5 sub themes for each week. I’ve started the trial for weekly
message section this last week of November. Have you checked it out? It turned
out well, I like the card I made. Also, the messages I wrote is magically
resonated to myself. This last week of November was a bit tough, but as I read
my own post, I got relieved and continued to face the challenges. I’ve added
some elements here and there for December weekly messages, it’ll have 5 journal
prompts each week, so it’s suitable for you to explore yourself using
journaling section.
I planned to make it
fun, so if you are interested to use some journaling prompts I provided each
week, you can share your journaling stuff using #lailivingjournal both in
twitter or instagram. No need to tag nor follow me. I only want to know how
people use their journal. Please look forward to the next weekly messages.
Okay.
So, for next month, I
got hummingbird as the main theme, followed by the images of rainbow, crown,
bus and bell. It’s a new start. December brings a new start.
Fun fact, my UI version
for my phone is also named hummingbird. So I got excited when hummingbird
appeared as this month theme. Hummingbird represents joy, balance, inner peace,
lightness, independence, resiliency, life enjoyment and being in the present
moment, and infinity.
A new start requires
ending and letting go of the old which are no longer serving you. In order to
fly lightly, you have to release the stuff which weigh you down. It’s sometimes
not easy to let go of the things we used to be with for long time, old
relationship which feels not good or toxic for you, old stuff you are no longer
using, old habits, or old thinking patterns which limit yourself. You will let
go of those things in order to fly toward your dreams, to enjoy the life and
find the peace inside. When you release the old, you give the space for the new
to come. So, say good-bye happily and be grateful for the lessons they have
given to you, and be open for the new to fill your space.
By releasing the old or
stuffs which weigh you down, then you are able to enjoy the life to the
fullest, being in the present moment, appreciating small things and continuing
your journey on the path we have chosen. Letting go isn’t about a shift from
the dark into the light only, but also choosing what your heart tells you to
do. It shouldn’t always be easy as the life is about sweet, sour, bitter, plain
and spicy stuff. The happiness is about accepting those tastes in life. You
don’t have to feel the sweetness everyday and beat yourself up when your life
gets bitter. It’s life. It needs contrast to balance. When you are able to
accept the ups and downs, then you will find the beauty of life.
Hummingbird also
represents independence. You have the freedom to be happy, to choose the
happiness to be in your life, and to feel the inner peace you deserve. Your
life is fully yours, nobody else can rule it. You are the king of your life,
you create the rules for yourself. How do you want your life to be? What
rewards would you like to give for yourself? What advice would you give when
you make mistakes or fails? Set your boundaries, how large your kingdom would
be? When you have set everything for your own life, then you automatically are
not allowing other people to lead it. What’s empty will be filled by
something.
A new start is about to
begin. Welcome it with open heart and some space in your heart. Be open for the
differences in life. Rainbow doesn’t have one single color, so does your life.
No matter how many colors a rainbow has, it’s beautiful, right? Differences
make it beautiful. You can live different life from others, you are allowed to
think differently, those differences don’t make you less or more than other
people. Be open for the new adventure which offers new different things. Be
alert with what life wants to say to you through signs, and be grateful for it.
Allow yourself to experience many things, that your future self will be
grateful and proud of you.
“I’m grateful that you
were not giving up that day, so that the now me is exist today. You can look at
me and be unsure of who I am, but I am the same person you were that time which
has grown up and stepped into another level of live. I’m grateful that you have
given me the chance to be who I am today.”
Note : rainbow represents harmony, crown means power, bell means alert, and bus means adventure. You are about to find harmony and inner peace, take back your power as a king of your own life, stay alert in the present moment to enjoy even the simplest smallest things, and face the new adventure life offers to you in this new start. Be happy. You are growing. You are on the right path. You are you who will make the future you be proud of you.
