There is a very specific feeling that lives in the space between Christmas and New Year’s.
You know the one.
For some people, it barely exists.
They’re already back to their normal busy routine.
Emails. Appointments. Responsibilities. Life as usual.
For others, this time feels oddly empty.
Not peaceful exactly.
More like a wait-and-see space.
An undefined pause that feels uncomfortable because we were never taught what to do with it.
And most of us don’t realize this, but we were patterned into that feeling.
We were conditioned to believe this space is “nothing,” instead of something sacred.
Between two big holidays, there’s an energetic drop. A collective exhale that often turns into exhaustion, pressure, or restlessness. A subtle sense of, Okay, now what?
And energetically, we all tend to fall into it.
The Pattern We Never Questioned
The holidays were built up as the peak.
The big moment.
The thing we prepare for, anticipate, and measure ourselves against.
Then comes the drop.
That belief alone creates an energetic frequency. One rooted in anticipation, comparison, obligation, and stress. For many people, it’s not even joy anymore. It’s survival.
Fifty years ago, this was different.
Life moved slower. Traditions felt simpler. There was more presence and less performance. Today, the expectations attached to holidays are heavy, expensive, emotionally loaded, and completely out of reach for a lot of people.
And deep down, people feel that.
What If This Space Isn’t Empty at All?
Here’s the question I keep coming back to.
What if the space in between isn’t empty?
What if it only feels that way because we were trained to live by events, calendars, and cultural scripts instead of by our own inner truth?
What if the discomfort is actually an invitation?
There is a change in energetic frequency on this planet right now. You can feel it. Whether you have language for it or not.
Something is calling us home to ourselves.
It’s urging us to let go of man-made beliefs, traditions, and cultural standards that ask us to abandon our own rhythm in order to belong.
This doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy excitement.
It doesn’t mean we can’t look forward to what’s coming.
It doesn’t mean we reject celebration.
It means we stop outsourcing our sense of meaning.
Living From a Sacred Inner Space
When you live guided by your higher power, every moment matters. Not because of what it leads to, but because of what it already is.
Anticipation rooted in obligation feels stressful and exhausting.
Anticipation rooted in presence feels grounded and alive.
And that’s a big difference.
We were taught to chase meaning instead of inhabit it.
This in-between space reveals where we’ve been living from expectation instead of truth. From habit instead of alignment. From tradition instead of remembrance.
And that’s not wrong.
It’s just something to notice.
An Invitation, Not a Fix
So I want to gently invite you to go inward during this time.
Not to analyze.
Not to fix.
Not to judge yourself.
Just to notice.
Ask yourself:
- How does this time of year actually feel in my body?
- Where do I feel pressure instead of presence?
- What traditions feel nourishing, and which feel borrowed?
- What am I tired of pretending is fine?
- What is quietly asking to be remembered?
Whatever comes up for you is fine.
There are no right answers here.
It’s your truth.
Something Is Coming
And I want to say this clearly.
There is something coming for you.
A safe space.
A grounded space.
A place designed to help you Remember who you are, Recognize your purpose, and Reconnect to your higher power and intuition.
Not to push you into becoming someone new.
But to support you in coming home to yourself.
To help you step out of inherited patterns and into your own rhythm, without pressure, without hype, without fixing.
For now, let this space be what it is.
Not empty.
Not wasted.
Not something to rush through.
It’s a doorway.
And you get to decide how you walk through it. 🤍
