Reborn from the ashes

It was December 31, 2024, I was sitting on the floor in my room, drinking my new ceremonial Phoenix cocoa (for me it’s a symbol of „reborn from the ashes stronger than ever“), lighting candles, and writing down my assessment of 2024.

All the successes, the ups and downs. I like to do this before the new year comes and before I plan my vision. It’s good to move forward, but it’s just as important to look back. I also wrote down a few things I’d like to let go of in 2024 or change right at the beginning of 2025.

It’s always helpful to exploit the energy of a “new beginning,” whether it’s a new day, a new week, a new month, or a new year. In fact, we can change anything at any second in our lives – because every new second now… now… now… is also a new beginning. But let’s get back to my “reborn.”

One thing that was very important to me was healing some more wounds from my last relationship. It’s been almost a year since my breakup, but I still haven’t been able to emotionally release myself from it. Even though my healing heart has been very grateful for the breakup lately because I needed it so badly to find myself, I felt kind of stuck in the role of victim, my ego didn’t want to let it go, and I was still taking a lot of things personally. And these feelings were exactly what I didn’t want to experience in the new year.

I didn’t want to be in contact with my ex at all, I didn’t even wish him a happy birthday because I was afraid of the pain it might open. However, on New Year’s Day, I had another Phoenix and as is the case with ceremonial cocoa, „things“ started happening inside me and I felt my heart opening and my ego giving up.

Physically, I felt a sense of relief and warmth and space filling my chest. I knew I was ready so I picked up my phone and texted him a „Happy New Year“ message. As soon as he wrote back and I read his wish for me to be happy, I burst into tears. I realized that I wanted him to be happy too. That the way things are, they should be and that it was good for both of us. I cried out a lot of stuck emotions and felt so good afterwards. I knew that another piece of the past had closed, another piece of my heart had healed and I could move on a little easier again.

So this was the very beginning of this year. Now let’s move on…

The first days of the new year I was in a creative flow. There were so many ideas coming to me, and I was very grateful and absolutely excited for it. I was also clarifying my business vision for 2025, what I want to do and what I need to experience in my business to feel good about it in the long term.

I found that no matter what I do, I need these things to be part of my business: joy, creativity, flow, intuition, value, quality, growth.

What I do has to be fun for me and be in harmony with me. I am creative so I need to create (paintings, blog articles, new dance choreographies, self-development workshops, etc.). I need to go with the flow and don’t push myself to go faster – it goes hand in hand with following my intuition. I create things with added value. I would never go for quantity at the expense of quality. And I love to grow and learn new things (in a healthy way).

I need to focus on these personal values more than making money, but at the same time it is a challenge and it is easier said than done in practice 🙂

On Saturday, January 4th, I published my first painting on my website. It was the painting Red Explosion but to this day I don’t know if I really want to sell it or not 🙂 It means a lot to me. First of all, it symbolizes that a vision is coming true. It was my first pour painting intended for sale, so I needed to take a good photo of it so that it could be presented on the website and social networks. And that’s where I got stuck. I didn’t have good light or good equipment. When I tried to take a photo, it was so boring. And then a vision „landed“ in my head – an image of me kneeling with my back to the viewer, wearing only lacy underwear, my painting leaning against my back and the whole thing underlined by the play of shadows and light. Three weeks later, together with my friend and photographer, I managed to realize exactly this vision.

What would you do if you were me? Would you keep the painting or sell it? Let me know 🙂

The day after I opened registration for a new salsa course for couples in Klatovy… I canceled it. It happened because I didn’t listen to my intuition and my true feelings. For some time before that, I felt that I like salsa, that I’m good at it, that I’m a good teacher and it is easy for me to teach it, that I even enjoyed it, but that teaching salsa for couples was not in harmony with my current dance path, where my focus is mainly on women and that I also want to educate myself mainly in high heels and chair dance, not in salsa.

I was probably subconsciously hoping a little bit that there will be low interest in the course and therefore it wouldn’t open, and I was handing over my responsibility to the Universe to arrange it the way it should be, instead of taking responsibility and making the decision myself.

But then I asked myself „What if the course opens? How will I feel?“ And since I immediately got anxious, I understood that the answer was NO and that I had to take action, otherwise it would end in another panic attack.

So I canceled the course, maybe I disappointed a few people, but I was so proud for allowing myself to put myself first and act in harmony with my inner me.

On Monday, January 6th, I had my first coaching session with a client this year and we started off really effectively, which I was happy about. Thanks for such wonderful clients and more like them, please 🙂

I was slowly entering my premenstrual phase and starting to feel really overwhelmed. Even though I was enjoying everything I was doing, it was just too much and I was pushing myself and wanting everything right away.

It stopped me when I realized my self-destructive pattern – I found myself thinking that it would actually be quite nice to crawl into bed for a few days with some minor illness and not have to do anything.

= the pattern was „I can only rest when I’m sick“. Damn!

So I immediately took the necessary measures to break the pattern – for inspiration, I’m writing here step by step procedure how I worked with myself at that moment:

1. write down all the things you „should“, „have to“, want, all your project ideas, etc.
2. A-B-C = set the priority for each item on the list (A – acute, B – nice to have, C – it can wait)
3. first of all: Is there anything you could do less of or cut out completely? If so, do it. Yes, I’m serious 🙂 (as I did with the salsa course)
4. postpone C’s for later – for a month or even half a year if needed (follow your current possibilities, internal capacity, life situation, your energy, etc.)
5. take your calendar and schedule your B’s for the next month (or two if possible) and do them one by one
6. take your A’s – btw try to have as few of them on your list as possible 🙂 – and do them one by one

Remember: Delegate and ask for help!

I hope this helps you and you don’t get into the same kind of trouble as I did 🙂

One thing that helps me take action and achieve my goals

I would like to share with you this: I used to be terribly afraid to take action. When I wanted to do something (mainly something related to my business), I would analyze it from top to bottom, creating catastrophic scenarios of everything that could happen and everything that could go wrong. Thoughts ran through my head about how nonsense it was, how it wouldn’t work out, blah blah blah… And so I’ve been standing still on the spot for a long time.

Thanks to working on myself, I found out what the deep source of this problem was.
It was the pattern „I’m not enough“.

I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Even though I have known for several years that this pattern affects me and has controlled me my whole life, it hasn’t been that long since it still had a great power over me without me realizing it. But then I started to observe it more and work with it consciously every time it came up so that it wouldn’t take over me again.

The important thing is to realize that the voice in your head that tells you „you’re not enough“ is not yours, and most importantly, it’s not true. And this helps me realize every time it comes up again:

„It’s not true. It’s a lie. I am enough.“

I no longer allow myself to dwell on my worth and fall back into a spiral of self-destruction. I simply stop the voice in my head, say this „affirmation“ to myself, and then take action, stepping out of my comfort zone. And thanks to this, I am moving forward towards my goals and in line with my visions.

I hope this my little sharing helps as many of you as possible because you know what??

You are enough to live the life you want and do the things you love.

Let’s move on…

After setting my priorities, canceling, and postponing some projects, it was such a relief! I also readjusted my mindset that it’s OK to wait, to do things one at a time, and take it easy and go with the flow. And I also gave myself and the process the trust that the things I want would come to me (this is still very challenging for me – trusting and letting go of control). That it is already happening just because it is in my vision. Energetically, the footprint is already there.

Your body talks to you. Do you listen?

During the second weekend of January, my period stopped me – it was painful for the first time in several years! I realized that with that pain my body was trying to tell me something, to give me feedback that something in my life was not right. Maybe I was crossing my boundaries somewhere. Maybe something was not in harmony with me. What do I need differently? What do I need more of and what do I need less of?

I really needed some time alone. I needed to turn off the whole world around me and go inside, searching for answers in silence. Just me, my heart and my soul.

It was very nourishing for me and I discovered things about myself that I didn’t know or was afraid to admit.

I often feel like I wasn’t born for this century. That I somehow don’t belong to this time.

There’s a lot of pressure on performance all around. I don’t even need to be in the environment or among the people where this is happening. For me, it’s enough to be in the city and I feel the energy of chaos, pressure, and rush. It doesn’t do me any good and I need the exact opposite. My body and my soul lead me to the forests, to nature, to live in the village.

I would love to return to slowness and simplicity (although what is simple may not always be easy).

If someone offered me the opportunity to live somewhere on the edge of the village right next to the forest, even though I would have to go to a latrine or cook on a stove, I would take it immediately!

I always thought it was a man / a partner I „can’t live without.“ Now I’ve discovered that this is what I can’t live without.

Oh, I almost forgot! January 7th marked a year since my breakup. I was addicted to my partner so even though I always thought that if it happened, I wouldn’t survive it… I still live happily 🙂 and have grown more since then than in all the previous years of working on myself (or at least that’s how I feel it). I plan to write a separate article on this topic. Mainly for myself, to summarize everything I’ve grown in over the year, but also for those who have just gone through a breakup, who are overwhelmed with the pain and all the negative emotions and feelings and feel like it’s the end of the world for them and the pain will never stop.

Babysteps one by one

This is one of my favorite „magic formulas“ for success and also for building my self-confidence, my projects etc. Well… whole life is actually one big project, right? 🙂

Whatever I do, whatever I work on, this is something I stick to – no big unsustainable giant leaps, but small steps forward. Small steps out of the comfort zone (sometimes even bigger :)). And always, always! looking back at what’s already done, what I’ve already achieved – this is also one of the reasons why I wrote this blog 🙂

If you just keep pushing and rushing forward, it will just be chasing goals that will never satisfy you. But if you regularly review what is already done here and now and what you’ve already achieved, the journey itself will satisfy you. Remember:

The journey is the goal 🙂

At the beginning of the year I got an idea for my paintings and I started working on it the first week of January. The Universe was on my side and brought the right people into my life. So on Friday, January 17th I was holding the first sample prints of my paintings Red Explosion and Chakras in my hands. With some modifications I think it will be good! 🙂

Take it easy

It may seem like I was doing a lot, but I allowed myself to do everything calmly with respect for myself and my low energy. As I wrote in a post on Instagram and Facebook – January is a new beginning according to the calendar, but nature doesn’t work like that. And we are also part of nature, so we are not set up to start performing great performances and fulfilling all the resolutions we made at the stroke of a new year. Let’s wait until spring with that. Until then, let’s take it very calmly. Let’s rest a lot, let’s be with ourselves, plan, create visions, go to nature, recharge your batteries and keep your energy mainly for yourselve. If you have this feeling of hibernation, it’s okay. You are connected to yourself and to nature. Allow yourself to slow down and just breathe.

The power of collaboration and starting a new project

On Monday, January 20th, I spent a wonderful morning in the cafe with my friend Kristýna. We’ve only known each other for a few months, but it feels like an eternity (I think this is what it’s like when you meet your soulmate). We met at the photoshoot in the spring 2024, but we didn’t get together until sometime in October.

We spent a few hours girlish-chatting but mainly we started working on a project together. It was an amazing, inspiring workflow, and for the first time in my life, I experienced the power of collaborating with someone you’re on the same wave with.

We brought together our talents and experiences and created an experiential workshop and ritual Awakening the Inner Queen, to which I hereby invite you all, dear women. It can be a game changer for you – for your mindset, your relationship with yourself, your self-confidence, and your whole life.

Dancing queens

On Friday, January 24th, I finished the January chair dance workshop with five amazing women. We were dancing to the song Cinderella´s dead. Through dance, we told a story about how a „good girl“ remembered one day that she was a „bad bitch“ = a confident, independent and attractive woman.

I love connecting my dance and choreography with story and emotions. To give the dance a deeper meaning. It is supportive, motivating and inspiring for me and for other dancers. It allows me / us to freely express ourselves in a safe and supportive environment.

If you are interested and want to experience what my workshops are about, you are very welcome to join the February chair dance workshop.

The challenging part of January

There are always a lot of great things happening, but then there are also things that challenge me. Not everything always goes according to plan (I would even say that most of the time things don’t go exactly according to plan :D.. One of those things was, for example, that I had to postpone the start of the dance course Sexy Feminine Me in Klatovy because I got only two registrations in January.

That’s why I also created a satisfaction questionnaire and I got a lot of great feedback, but also a few unpleasant ones, which touched me at first, but then I just realized that

I can’t please everyone and that’s okay! It confirmed to me that the key is to be myself and it’s okay that some will love it and some will hate it. It’s important not to lose yourself just to please others – there will always be those for whom you will be „too much“ or „not enough“.

An opportunity or a problem?

When something doesn’t go as I wanted, I try to turn it into an opportunity, not a problem. In this case, I moved the start of the course up by a month and used the rented dance hall for individual lessons and my own dance training in the meantime, because I don’t have enough space or a mirror at home. Thanks to having enough space, I managed to create a chair dance choreography in one afternoon.

New dance course in Pilsen!

You wrote to me asking if I would open a dance course in Pilsen. I didn’t plan to do it because I couldn’t find a day in my calendar when I would have time regularly. But I got an idea and found the solution!

On February 11th, my new dance course starts in Pilsen at Krašovská Aktivity centum Plzeň and watch out! Its time is 10:00 – 11:30! For all women who want to dance and feel more feminine, but don’t have time to attend evening classes. I’m really looking forward to it!!!

New experience and getting out of the comfort zone

On Monday, January 27th, I participated in my very first networking event, organized by Kateřina Juríková in Pilsen. I met new inspiring women-entrepreneurs there and I am very happy to be a part of this group. It is very important for me to surround myself with women who are in business and have been doing it longer and better than me, so that I can gain experience from them, and simply have people in my life with a similar mindset regarding money, business, success, etc.

Why do I procrastinate? Money, money, money…

Money is a big issue for me. I wasn’t given a positive attitude about money. I always had everything I needed, but I grew up in fear that we wouldn’t have money (I sensed that fear at home). That affected me a lot and to this day, the stress about money still lives in me.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know that:

Your inner attitude is reflected in your reality. Always. It happens unconsciously. On autopilot. Automatically.

So, I’ve always struggled a lot with money. I still have a lot of blocks and limits that I need to work through, but I need to take it step by step. Well, my soul probably decided that it was no longer time to waste, and at the end of the month I had this realization:

„I don’t want to have money so I don’t have to give it away.“

Because there is the fear within me that if I let it go, it won’t come back. That I won’t have enough of it. So in fact it is „easier“ not to have it so I don´t have to give it away and face the fear 🙂

How „funny“ these constructs of ours can be… 😀

This pattern has been hidden in my subconscious mind for a long time. What helped me uncover it?

Long story short…

In the last few days, I’ve received several registrations for dance classes. But I’ve been procrastinating with them. I didn’t feel good about it at all… At this point, it was crucial to stop and ask myself the simple but important question:

„Why?“

And this „innocent“ question (actually it’s pretty damn powerful!) started a process in me that led me to become aware of this pattern/block (and many others). It was such a relief to suddenly know what I was up against and the reason (or at least one of the reasons) why I was failing to create more financial abundance in my life. I look forward to where this process will take me.

---

Holy shit!

I can’t believe how much has happened in just one month. I think I’m a little bit under-aware of how much I’ve already accomplished. Do you feel the same way? I need to remind myself of that. That’s one of the main reasons I’m writing this article.

I’m writing it mainly for myself, but if you’ve read this far, thank you very much for reading it and I’d be very happy if you’d write to me in the comments or on social media if you enjoyed it or even if it inspired you in any way.
I’m looking forward to what wonderful experiences February will bring us.

See you
