Now that Christmas is over, it's time for New Years celebrations and resolutions, but I'm going to try something different this time. I’m not doing resolutions this year. I’m doing non-negotiables. Resolutions are a setup. They’re designed to be broken so we can feel like failures by February. And honestly? I’m done participating in that nonsense. Non-negotiables are different. They’re not goals. They’re not “fix yourself” lists. They’re standards for how you treat yourself and allow others to treat you. Some examples you might consider for 2025: • Protecting your peace — even if it disappoints people • Saying no without explaining yourself • Resting without guilt • Not engaging in conversations that drain you • Choosing healing over obligation • Honoring your nervous system • Not forcing yourself where you’re not respected • Taking care of your energy like it actually matters (because it does) Non-negotiables aren’t about becoming someone new. They’re about not abandoning yourself anymore. So instead of asking, “What do I want to achieve this year?” Try asking, “What am I no longer willing to tolerate?” That list is easier to keep — and way more powerful. What’s one non-negotiable you’re claiming for 2026?

You don’t have to go anywhere that disturbs your peace. You don’t have to sit with people who drain you, trigger you, or reopen old wounds — even if they’re family. But if you do need to be around others this week, I’ve added some energetic support for you. This video brings in holiday protection from the Deep Blue Dragons, with a clearing first so nothing unwanted gets trapped in your field. You can use it for yourself or call the energy in for family members as well. And if anything still sneaks through — because life happens — Shauna and I also recorded a clearing on Awkward Channeling that will air Friday at 3 PM Eastern. That one is specifically for clearing any lingering energy after the holidays. https://youtube.com/@awkwardchanneling?si=_SmMPXNU9Q3l8p6e Think of it as: • protection before • support during •clearing after No guilt. No forcing yourself.Just options to help you move through the season with a little more peace. Your energy matters.

Do you believe intuition is: something you’re born with something you develop a mix of both or something you’re still unsure about All perspectives are welcome here.

Shauna and I will be live tomorrow with card pulls and messages on our YouTube channel. 📅 Friday 🕒 3pm Eastern 🕑 2pm Central 🕐 1pm Mountain 🕛 12pm Pacific 🔗👇 https://youtube.com/@awkwardchanneling?si=2U-_1VPdmLKG_V55
