Dear Reader,

Wanna know my biggest takeaway from 2024?

It’s proof that mindset shifts really do work. (or did you think I was going to say it's the importance of 💤 rest ? 😂)

This year, I’ve been working on one specific mindset shift: moving from a sense of lack to one of abundance. 🌟

It happened when I was confiding my fears of my last pregnancy to a friend. She wisely pointed out how our default mode often operates from a place of lack & fear.

She explained that when challenges come our way, we often go to the “I don’t have enough [money, time, energy, space - you name it]” way of thinking.

She was right.

These thoughts are so common, especially during pregnancy or when you’re welcoming a new baby.
I was in "lack & fear mode" for much of my twin pregnancy.

Have you ever thought:
​"It’s just not possible to give or have more time, attention, patience, love, etc."

It’s a perfectly natural worry, but it’s just a default mode.

The good news?
We can learn how to switch out of default mode.

What if you shifted your focus from:

• Lack → Abundance
• Fear → Love

Because there is enough love, enough space and enough energy to share. 💖

Let me share a moment when I realized this shift was actually working:

Last month, the government accidentally gave us a €2000 subsidy. We had to pay it back, but they allowed us to repay it in installments.

The old me would have sighed:
​"Just our luck, of course this money is not meant for us!”

But this time, I saw it differently.

I told my husband:
​"Look, we’ve been gifted an interest-free loan of €2000. How amazing is that?!"

Even he, Mr. Optimism himself, hadn’t thought of it that way!

I still have a long way to go, but experiencing these tiny shifts are changing how I show up every day.

So here’s my short holiday message to you:

Start noticing.
Are you operating from a place of lack or abundance? Fear or love?

Becoming aware is the first step, and from there, magic happens. 🌈 (Meditation and stillness are great tools for this, by the way!)

And one more thing:

The holidays are just that: holidays.

If you’re pregnant or caring for little ones, don’t let high expectations weigh you down. 🎄
Give yourself permission to slow down, rest, and simply be.

What’s your biggest takeaway from 2024, Reader? Hit reply, I'd love to read them.

Sending love to you and your family,

Krish ❤️
