5 Ways to Have a Great 2023

It’s a new year and we are all excited about that but we are entering it from the drama, tyranny, and chaos from the past 3 years, and even thinking about joy, success, and expanding our energy can seem like an exercise in futility. And if you have been trying to make changes lately only to be stopped at every turn, the idea that 2023 could be different without a whole lot of extra and extraordinary effort is just depressing. Well, there are some depressing things about what is going on in the world but there is also a whole lot more to be joyful about. We play our part by maintaining our energy field at the frequency and vibration that we want it to be to create the reality we are intending. We also play our part by shifting our perception of the illusion from good and/or bad to light and light potential. So much of the world has already ‘seen the light’ and the rest exists in the realm of light potential. Yes there is a small group that is always going to occupy the dark edges but we can let them be, they are not part of our mission.As you are contemplating your potential for 2023 and maybe making a list of intentions for the year of what you want to be or become, things you want to accomplish, what you want to do and places you want to go, let’s bring it down to a more personal, influential level for the light stage we are on now. When I say all we have to do is shine our light I mean it. We are in the 5D integrated space now and if you notice, the people who are not aligned with 5d at any level are no longer in your sphere. What you are seeing and dealing with are the people who are like spirited, your energetic family, and those who are curious about you and your energy. They may be magnetized to you but there is not quite a fit. Sometimes we meet people who just need to know where to step onto the 4D bridge. Your job is not to guide or carry them across, just to show them where the bridge is and how to access it. And this is one of the keys to success in 2023, to know when to stop sharing our energy and let everyone  walk their own path. This is probably going to be the hardest part of 2023, shifting how we interact with people and we will start that process by shifting who we are consciously and unconsciously interacting with. Did you lose connections with friends and family in the past 3 years? Has a philosophical difference created a huge rift in your relationships? Or have you realized that there are people who just do not need to be in your life any more, whether it’s because they have walked out or you have shown them the door?That’s the basis of creating your energetic family, allowing energy to become the focus of your path instead of emotions. All of our connections are based on how we feel and that is shifting to a more intentional process. We set our energetic intention and that either opens or closes the doors to connection.I was thinking about how to greet this new year and start a new year of newsletter articles and podcasts. Do you know this is my 20th year of writing the newsletter? Hard to believe that I would still be doing it when I started in February of 2004 with my little newsletter that went to three people – me and two friends I had asked to sign up so I could make sure the subscription box and the email broadcast worked properly. Now the newsletter is read by over 5 million people every week, as the most widely read, shared, and the oldest newsletter on the internet. As we start a new year, one that has a lot of potential and is going to be a source of joy to many, I wanted to share my hints for making this year truly great for you. Here are 5 ways to make 2023 a fabulous year.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com  Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2026 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.
