As we move toward the end of the year, the countdown is officially on - not just on the calendar, but in our energy field. This is the time when life invites us to shed, surrender, and let go of everything that has weighed us down.
And if there was ever a year that asked us to shedâŚitâs the Year of the Snake.
Just as the snake periodically releases its old skin, this year has been a cycle of peeling back layers, facing what no longer fits, and stepping into a clearer, more aligned version of ourselves.
And let me tell you - Iâve been deep in it this week.
I had to move out of a rental property, and the amount of stuff I had accumulated was eye-opening. Furniture, boxes, memories, âjust in caseâ items - all of the things we tuck away hoping theyâll serve us someday. As I culled through it all, the emotional release was real. Letting go isnât always easy⌠but itâs incredibly freeing.
And as I always say: âWeâre not here for a long time, so letâs make it a good time.â
A good time doesnât come from dragging old energy or clutter from year to year. It comes from consciously clearing the space - physically, emotionally, mentally, and energetically - so you can open the door to something new.
đThe Snake Teaches Us to Shed
The snake doesnât cling to the old skin. It doesnât analyse it, argue with it, fold it into a drawer or put it in storage. It simply knows: âThis is too tight. This is no longer me.â And then it lets it go. This year has been exactly that.
A year of:
releasing outdated beliefs
shedding emotional layers
clearing clutter and density
outgrowing old identities
cleansing our energetic field
If youâve felt the urge to declutter, simplify, downsize, or cleanse your life, youâre right on track with the energetic theme of the year.
đAnd Next Year? The Horse Is Coming⌠Fast.
2026 is the Year of the Horse - the energy of momentum, freedom, movement, acceleration, purpose, and forward motion.
But hereâs the key:
You cannot ride into the year of the Horse still carrying the weight of the Snakeâs old skin.
The Horse wants:
â¨Space
â¨Lightness
â¨Clarity
â¨Direction
â¨Energy that can run, leap, explore, expand
The Horse says: âLetâs go. Letâs move. Letâs live.â But you can only move fast when youâre not burdened by clutter - physical or energetic.
So this is the transition point. This is your sacred window to lighten the load.
â¨Decluttering = Setting Yourself Free
Every object holds energy.
Every piece of clothing, every piece of furniture, every dusty box in the cupboard carries a story. When you declutter, youâre not simply tidying - youâre creating room for your future self to breathe.
Youâre saying:
âI choose space over stagnation.â
âI choose clarity over chaos.â
âI choose to be ready for whatâs next.â
And just like in Empowered Clothing, where each colour, fabric, and intention influences your energy, clearing your physical world shifts your frequency too. You become lighter - inside and out.
â¨Can You Rise to the Challenge?
This week, I invite you to join me in going hard - truly hard - on clearing, cleansing, and decluttering before the year closes.
Ask yourself:
â¨What feels heavy?
â¨What is outdated or stagnant?
â¨What pulls my energy down just by being here?
â¨What am I keeping out of habit rather than alignment?
Release it.
Donate it.
Sell it.
Bless it and let it go.
Because in order to meet the energy of the Horse, you must be willing to travel light.
â¨Cleanse, Clear & Create Space
This isnât just about throwing things out. Itâs about preparing your body, mind, and spirit for an entirely new energetic cycle.
By letting go, you create space for:
new opportunities
new ideas
new relationships
new levels of freedom
new versions of you
This is what conscious living is all about.
This is what Just Choose Life is all about.
This is the heart of Empowered Clothing and Self Empowered Lifestyles:
Choose you.
Choose lightness.
Choose freedom.
Choose the life you truly want.
â¨Your Invitation Into the New Year
Let this be the moment you reset. Let this be your personal shedding. Let this be the week you rise to the challenge - so when the energy of the Horse arrives, youâre ready to ride with clarity, confidence, and joy.
Because weâre not here for a long timeâŚSo letâs make it a good time â a light, aligned, empowered time.
