THRIVING HABITS

Starting 2025 with Gratitude, Grace, and Grounded Intentions

To start a fresh new chapter, you need to close out the previous chapters…

I am so excited to share this with you. I walked myself through these on New Years Eve and it had a profound effect.

These prompts will help you honor all that has come to be, all that you have learned, as well as what you might need to forgive or release. They will also help you identify the little bits of funky feelings (like regret, guilt, and shame) that can keep you stuck in sneaky ways.

Make some tea, light a candle, play some soft music. Grab a journal, a notebook, or loose paper so that you can be unrestricted in how much space you have to write. Then gift yourself the time to reflect and journal on each of these prompts.

Then join us on Monday, January 6th at 7:00 pm for the live meditation where we will support you in the process of integrating the blessings and successes, forgiving and releasing what needs to be released, and then embodying your intentions for 2025.

Make sure to get the call details:

Part I: Appreciating 2024 & bringing it to conclusion:

  1. What wins, successes, accomplishments do I want to celebrate?

  2. What magic, miracles, blessings came to me and my family?

  3. What challenges or lessons did I face?

  4. What am I proudest of?

  5. How have I grown this year?

During Monday’s call, we will be doing a gratitude and integration activity for these.

Part II: Forgiving and releasing what might have been difficult:

  1. Are there any things I regret or wish I had done differently?

  2. Are there any things from my past (2024 or previous years) for which I feel guilt, shame or embarrassment?

On Monday’s call, we will be doing a clearing and forgiveness meditation to help you bring compassion to yourself and these situations, so they don’t hold you back.

Part III: Opening 2025 with gentle seeds of intention

  1. What would I like to do more of this year?

  2. Do I want to choose a word for the year to gently inspire me? (See some ideas below)

  3. Would I like to give myself ONE stretch goal in ONE area of my life?

On Monday, we will do an anchoring process so they become embodied intentions.

Play * Laughter * Gratitude * Movement * Love * Friends * Flexibility * Peace * Grounding * Paris * Balance * Spontaneity * Music * Sing * Focus * Sleep * Empowered * Free * Kindness * Strength * Vulnerability * Openness * Connection * Visibility * Purpose * Authenticity * Budget * Tidy * Adventure * Healing * Self-care * Joy * Trust * Honesty * Courage...

Your Entelechy? How To Nurture Your Greatest Potential...

Your entelechy... Your inner, unexpressed potential beckons to come forth into expression. It speaks to you in the yearnings of your heart.

So how DO you fulfill this potential?

Just like the acorn only needs nurturing in order for the oak to emerge, your entelechy, your destiny is not something you need to work hard towards. You nurture it.

Two Meditations for You

Anxiety? Incessant thoughts about what's going on? Hard to disconnect from the news? Physical pain?

Today I share two meditations that can help. I facilitated them last night for my "open house" group and folks really loved them.

  • Meditation #1 starts at minute 2:18 (it's about 9 minutes in length)

  • Meditation #2 starts at minute 11:50 (it's about 18 minutes in length)

Desperate Times Call for CENTERED Measures

We are living extraordinary times. Our world is changing before our eyes and we have a golden opportunity to rise to the occasion. We are being called to go inwards (indoors but also within ourselves) so we can cultivate our deepest centeredness and inner peace.

I'm inviting you to join me in a new virtual meditation club -- the Thrive With Morella Med-Club ;-)

My clients have asked me to offer regular, supported meditation practice, and they've told me how my guided meditations have been powerful for them. So I'm making them available to everyone.

Join us next Monday, and every Monday after that if you choose! :)

Centeredness Boosts Immunity

We live in interesting times, don't we?

This global pandemic experience is certainly uniting all of humanity in a way no event I can think of has ever done. Can you think of any other time where all around the world, humanity was all on the same side, with the same uniting experience? Save from alien invasion movies, I think we'd be hard pressed to find another event quite like this.

It's also bringing out the best in people.
