This is Your Time: Align Your Goals and Ignite Your Best Year Yet

Julie Murphy • December 31, 2024
A coin is sitting on top of a pile of rocks.


Let’s get real for a moment…do you ever feel like you’re living someone else’s life? Maybe you’ve checked all the boxes: steady job, bills paid, a routine that looks good from the outside. But inside? Something’s missing.


If this resonates, you’re not alone. So many of us go through life feeling stuck, drained, and out of alignment with who we truly are. The cost? Emotional exhaustion, financial stress, and the nagging sense that this can’t be all there is.


Here’s the good news: It doesn’t have to be this way.


You can break free. You can realign your life. And you can create what I call real wealth a life of joy, purpose, and freedom that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

Let’s dive in.


1. The Cost of Staying Stuck


Why do we stay in situations that aren’t serving us? Because the devil you know feels safer than the unknown.


But let’s be honest…staying stuck comes at a price:


  • Financially: Overspending to maintain a lifestyle that doesn’t light you up, or feeling trapped in a job that’s all about survival, not joy.
  • Emotionally: Holding on to relationships, beliefs, or habits that weigh you down.
  • Energetically: Misalignment drains your energy, keeping you overwhelmed and unable to move forward.


The longer you stay misaligned, the further you drift from the life you’re meant to live.


2. Why Financial Alignment Is Non-Negotiable


Let’s talk about money…because misalignment doesn’t just show up emotionally; it shows up in your finances too.


Here’s the thing: money is a tool. And when you use it in alignment with your values, it supports a life of purpose and freedom. But when your finances are out of alignment, they create roadblocks.


Ask yourself:


  • Are you spending to keep up appearances, not because it brings you joy?
  • Are you stuck in a job you hate because you feel financially trapped?
  • Are fear and guilt driving your financial decisions?


When you bring your financial life into alignment, it stops being a source of stress and starts being a foundation for abundance.


3. Letting Go of What’s Holding You Back


Here’s a hard truth: You can’t create alignment without letting go. That might mean releasing:


  • Physical clutter: Your messy closet might be more than just “stuff”...it could be a reflection of emotional blocks.
  • Old spending habits: Look at where your money goes. Does it reflect your values, or is it tied to outdated expectations?
  • Toxic relationships: Boundaries are hard, but they’re essential to living in alignment.


Letting go isn’t always easy, but it’s the only way to create space for what truly aligns with your soul.


4. The Courage to Choose Alignment


Letting go is one thing. But stepping into alignment? That takes courage.


Alignment often means making bold choices:


  • Walking away from “safe” situations that don’t feel right anymore.
  • Facing fears about money, success, or failure.
  • Saying no to what doesn’t serve you, even if it’s uncomfortable.


Courage doesn’t mean you’re fearless…it means you take action despite the fear. Trust me, what’s waiting on the other side of change is worth it.


5. Redefining Real Wealth


Spoiler alert: wealth isn’t just about money.


After 25 years of working with clients, I’ve learned that real wealth is about alignment. It’s about:


  • Financial freedom to live on your terms.
  • Emotional well-being rooted in your values.
  • Purposeful abundance that feels joyful and fulfilling.


A big bank account without alignment feels empty. True wealth is about creating a life that makes your heart sing.


6. Why Most Resolutions Fail (and What to Do Instead)


We’ve all made resolutions to “fix” our lives. But most resolutions fail because they come from the head, not the heart.


Here’s a fun fact: Your heart’s energy field extends eight miles, compared to just two feet from your brain. When your goals align with your heart’s desires, they have the power to stick.


So this year, ditch the surface-level resolutions. Instead, focus on intentions that align with your soul’s deepest truth.


7. Your First Steps Toward Alignment


If you’re ready to break free and step into a life of alignment, here’s where to start:


  • Reflect: What feels out of alignment in your life?
  • Release: Let go of one thing—a belief, habit, or even physical clutter—that no longer serves you.
  • Take Action: Set one small, soul-aligned intention and take your first step toward it.


And if you’re ready for deeper transformation, I’ve got something special for you.

Reset Your Money Energy for 2026 Every December, we all feel that pull, the desire to “be better with money next year.” But here’s the secret I’ve seen again and again after nearly three decades of walking alongside people from all walks of life: Financially wealthy people don’t just plan their next year — they energetically complete the one they’re leaving. They close loops. They clear emotional residue. They realign their energy field before they set a single goal. And you can absolutely do the same. As I share in The Emotion Behind Money , wealth is never created by logic alone. It comes from managing the emotions behind your money and understanding that money itself is energy. And in Awaken Your Wealth , I remind readers that energetic shifts begin when you consciously picture yourself stepping into a new reality, while compassionately acknowledging the one you’re standing in now. So let’s walk through the simple year-end process I teach my clients — one that spiritually, emotionally, and financially resets your money field for a powerful 2026. 1. Review Your 2025 Wins & Losses With Compassion Before you step into the new year, look back with the most loving, nonjudgmental eyes possible. I call it neutral observation . Wealthy people don’t spiral into shame when something didn’t go perfectly. They get curious. Ask yourself: Where did I expand financially this year? Where did I contract emotionally or economically? What choices were truly aligned with my values? Which ones came from fear, scarcity, or old patterns? In Awaken Your Wealth , the “Accepting Reality and Awakening” step of PACT teaches that awareness without judgment is how we break old money patterns for good. So breathe. Notice. Write it down. No shame. No spiral. Just truth. 2. Forgive Any Money Mistakes Here’s a truth most people never consider: Every financial mistake carries emotional weight and emotional weight blocks money flow. From my work in The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money , we know that your heart’s energy is more powerful than your brain’s logic, and intention is what redirects energy back into alignment. Forgiveness, of yourself, your past self, or others involved, releases stagnant money energy. Try this: Write down any money decisions from 2025 that still feel heavy. Place your hand on your heart. Say: "I forgive the version of me who made this choice. She/he did the best they could with what they knew at the time.” Forgiveness isn’t about letting mistakes slide. It’s about resetting your emotional money field so you can co-create something new. 3. Create an Energetic Closing Ceremony for the Year This is where wealthy people truly separate themselves; they honor the transition. You can create your own year-end ceremony using whatever resonates from your spiritual toolkit. Here are a few ideas inspired by the intention-setting and clearing practices throughout my work: Light a candle Symbolize releasing the old year and calling in the new. Write a “completion list” Include everything you’re ready to release: debts you’re no longer carrying shame over, relationships you’re energetically cutting cords from, patterns you’re finished reenacting. Burn or bury the list This physical act tells the Universe: “I’m done living from this version of myself.” In The Emotion Behind Money , we explore how inherited beliefs and emotional patterns repeat until they are consciously released. This ceremony is your line in the sand. End with intention Close with one powerful intention for 2026, aligned from your heart: “I choose a new flow of abundance.” “I trust that money comes to me with ease.” “I allow myself to receive the wealth I’ve been working toward.” As The 4 Spiritual Laws of Money reminds us: “The Universe responds to action.” Your ceremony is your spiritual action. Ready to Step Into 2026 Aligned, Clear & Empowered? If you’re craving deeper support with your financial reset, join me for my Emotions Behind Money Workshop in January. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to recalibrate your relationship with money, this is your moment. Let’s make 2026 the year your inner wealth and your financial reality finally match. You deserve abundance and you’re closer than you think. With love, alignment & a whole lot of possibility, Julie ✨
