Here are Your Instructions for a Soul-led Life

As the new year unfolds, it’s an invitation to step deeper into alignment with your soul’s wisdom. While traditional resolutions are about goals and ambitions, resolutions for the soul are about embracing the essence of who you are at your core, refining your inner compass, and embodying the sacred energy that already lives within you. This is your guide to living with intention.

Here are your instructions for living a soul-led life. Each one is aligned with the domains of life on the Archetypal Wheel of Life¹. 

For each month of the year, choose a different archetype to assist you with each of the 12 domains of life below. Remember to include the archetypes we all share: the Child, Victim, Prostitute and Saboteur in your mix of 12.

1. January: Recognise and own your true, Sacred Self.
2. February: Identify and honour ethical personal values.
3. March: Communicate with clarity, kindness and curiosity.
4. April: Improve emotional regulation.
5. May: Focus on living creatively and playfully.
6. June: Serve yourself and others with purpose.
7. July: Cultivate meaningful relationships.
8. August: Embrace change and transformation.
9. September: Expand your horizons.
10. October: Aim to express your highest potential.
11. November: Engage with your community.
12. December: Connect to the sacred within daily.

The big question is, just how will you complete each of these activities? The answers are in the archetypes you’ve choose to assist you. (Remember, there are no bad archetypes.) After you’ve chosen your 12 archetypes and assigned them to each monthly activity, follow this example to Self-author them so you can work out how to get these things done.
