Winter Solstice Reflections + Intentions 12/21
This post is a day late. Smh Today we honor the Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year and a powerful pause point in the cycle of life. This is not a season of rushing. It’s a season of remembering, restoring, and realigning. Spiritually, the Winter Solstice represents death and rebirth. The old year begins to close its final chapters while the seeds of the new year quietly form beneath the surface. Nothing is meant to bloom yet — this is root work. How to work with this energy today: • Reflect on what 2025 taught you, especially the lessons that came through discomfort • Release identities, habits, or obligations that no longer feel aligned • Rest without guilt — rest is productive in this season • Set intentions, not pressure, for 2026 Simple Solstice Ritual (Optional): 1. Light a candle and sit in stillness for a few minutes 2. Write down what you are officially leaving behind 3. Write a second list: how you want to feel in 2026 (peace, stability, freedom, joy, clarity) 4. Close by affirming: “I trust the timing of my becoming.” Looking Ahead This solstice energy is the foundation for the plans we’ll be building together as we prepare for 2026. Over the next weeks, we’ll focus on: • Clearing mental and energetic clutter • Aligning goals with purpose, not burnout • Creating sustainable spiritual + life strategies Use today to slow down. You are not behind. You are exactly where preparation happens. Drop in the comments: What are you releasing this season, and what are you quietly calling in?
