New Moon Reset

We were just talking about rest yesterday, so today's new moon is perfect. New moons offer us a reset, and they signal the importance of rest and relaxation.
​

Some people will focus on rest and relaxation as a reset, while others may use this time to bring their intentions and desires into the world—to [begin to] grow things alongside the growth of the moon. - Julia Halina Hadas, The Modern Witchcraft Book of Astrology.

I suggest we do both. It's a great time for a fresh start, and to set intentions for how that new beginning will play out in your life in the weeks and months to come.

Here are some journal prompts to help you think through the changes you want to make...
​

New Moon Journal Prompts

(1) If rest is physical, mental and emotional, what would rest in each of those categories mean for you?

(2) What are the areas of your life that feel out of alignment? How could you initiate a shift in those areas?

(3) What keeps you from relaxing as much or as often as you need to do?

(4) Imagine a reset that includes a perfect day of rest? What would that look like?

Would you be alone? Where would you be?

(5) Can you remember a time when taking a step back gave you new clarity or direction in your life?

(6) Write down the intentions you want to set and decide how you will make sure these changes actually happen.

(7) Are there boundaries you would need to put into place to make the changes you have explored with these journal prompts?

See you next time!

love, Jeanine
