Have you ever noticed that certain patterns keep repeating in your family? Whether it’s a particular argumentative style, a damaging habit, or an issue that keeps coming up again and again—patterns live on through generations. This holiday season is an opportune time to shift the energy, create new traditions, and have more space for joy.
The Power of Our Ancestors
We carry the stories of our ancestors with us every day. These stories are often passed down through subtle cues, such as how we communicate, dress, or interact with others. They are also often encoded into our DNA. Usually, the old wounds that still keep us stuck were created by how our parents lived out this fateful story when we were young. So how do we go about releasing these old patterns to create space for more joy in our lives?
The Medicinal Value of Awareness
Take some time this holiday season to look at patterns that have been playing out in your family for generations. Consider why they have been perpetuated and what purpose they serve. With a mindful eye, you can then begin to let go of those patterns and create new ones that bring more joy into your life and those around you.
The Freedom to Create
Once you have identified the patterns you want to release, it’s time to start creating new traditions for your family. Brainstorm activities or rituals that could be fun for everyone involved. Think about ways to foster connection and build relationships within your family without relying on old habits or behaviors. Get creative! You could make a craft together, play games, sing, light candles, or practice yoga or meditation as a group—the possibilities are endless!
This holiday season is the perfect opportunity to start releasing old family patterns so that we can create space for more joy in our lives—and what better way than by creating new traditions! Let us take this moment to pause, reflect on where we come from and decide where we want to go next.
