There's no question that 2020 has been one of the most challenging and eventful years in modern memory. Many people are more than ready to move on to a new year and a fresh start, but others are understandably worried about the future. If you have concerns about what lies ahead, spirituality can provide comfort and put you at ease. Try these four steps to help you spiritually prepare for 2021.

Envision Your Future

Is 2021 your year to buy a new house, find the love of your life or find yourself? Whether you write your goals down in a journal or create a vision board, laying out your goals and dreams for the new year is an excellent way to begin your spiritual journey. Having a focused plan can help give you something to aim for rather than wandering aimlessly in the new year, waiting for change to come to you. Having a vision in mind can also help you prepare emotionally for major changes that may come, making them easier to handle when they do.

Get Psychic Guidance

What if you could prepare for your future with a sneak peek? A gifted psychic can provide clairvoyant readings to answer your questions about what lies ahead in your life so you can look forward to the good and prepare for the bad. Psychics can also help you increase your self-awareness and better understand how your future may be affected by who you are as a person now. Many psychics are well-versed in subjects such as attraction-theory, guiding you in the concept of how what you put out into the world can attract the same things back to you.

See a Counselor

Sometimes all you need is someone to talk to. Whether you visit a mental health professional or a leader from your spiritual community, counseling sessions can help you put your worries and fears into perspective and sort through your feelings. A trained counselor can also offer advice and suggest exercises to help you overcome any fears and anxiety you may be experiencing. Anxiety can be a major energy-killer and inhibit spiritual growth if you don’t take time to address it, so make sure that you are taking the time to have any mental illness treated properly.

Make Time for Yourself

Self-care is essential for spiritual health, so remember to make time for yourself every day. Participate in hobbies you enjoy, read a book, enjoy a good meal, or just relax in a warm bath. Don't feel guilty if you need to forego plans with friends or family sometimes. You can't be expected to take care of others if you don't take care of yourself first.

Although being spiritually prepared for the new year can help you cope with your worries, don't put too much pressure on yourself. No one can ever be 100 percent prepared for what the future holds, and it's normal to feel like you're not quite ready when a big change happens. Try to expect the best, prepare for the worst, and always roll with the punches.
