Closing Out the Karmic Year: Breaking the Habits That No Longer Serve You.

As this year comes to a close, I’ve been sitting with a simple but powerful question:

What are my karmic habits? KEY WORD “MY”

Not karma as punishment but karma as patterns.

Cycles.

Behaviors you kept repeating, even when they hurt you. Because the truth is: Every year doesn’t end just because the calendar changes.

Some years don’t close until you do.

And this year? The year of 9, the year of Transformation, the year of learn or repeat……

ITS TIME TO CLOSE IT

What Are Karmic Habits?

Karmic habits are the behaviors we normalize because they feel familiar not because they feel good.

They look like:

• choosing potential over consistency

• staying loyal to people who aren’t choosing us

• confusing intensity with love

• overgiving and calling it patience

• explaining ourselves to people who already understand

Karmic habits keep us stuck in old versions of ourselves. And for a long time, I didn’t even realize I was in one.

Let Me Share Mine

This year tested my Gangsta to see if I would fold. It really did. Guess what I did. I gave in to certain things. But guess what I recognized it and put theme works to work. It showed me some wooowwwww the “Itch, now you know better” truths about myself not to shame me, but to free me.

✨ Karmic Habit #1: Accepting Partial Love

I stayed in situations where I received fragments instead of wholeness.

I told myself,“At least he shows up sometimes.”

Sometimes is not enough. I broke this habit by choosing clarity over connection.

✨ Karmic Habit #2: Over-Explaining My Feelings

I believed that if I explained myself better, someone would finally meet me where I was.

But the right people don’t need convincing.

They don’t need translations.

They don’t need reminders to care.

I broke this habit by letting actions speak louder than hope.

✨ Karmic Habit #3: Loyalty Without Reciprocity

I was loyal because that’s who I am but I gave loyalty where it wasn’t protected. Loyalty without commitment becomes self-abandonment.

I broke this habit by not being overly committed to anything and redirecting that loyalty back to myself.

✨ Karmic Habit #4: Confusing Chemistry With Destiny

Just because something feels intense doesn’t mean it’s meant to last. Some connections are lessons, not lifetimes. If it started with intensity it can end with hard lessons. I broke this habit by listening to my nervous system, my body instead of my fantasy.

What I’ve Freed Myself From

I freed myself from:

• waiting for people to choose me

• shrinking my needs to keep someone comfortable

• chasing closure

• hoping instead of deciding

• romanticizing inconsistency

And in that freedom, I found the doors to finally close.

What I’ve Gained Instead

I gained:

• self-trust

• emotional clarity

• peace over possibility

• boundaries without guilt

• the courage to walk away even while loving

That’s growth.

Closing the Karmic Year

Closing out a karmic year isn’t loud.

It’s not dramatic.

It’s quiet.

It’s final.

It’s choosing yourself even when it hurts.

And sometimes the biggest blessing isn’t what stays…..it’s what finally leaves.

A Reminder As We Enter a New Year

You don’t have to carry old habits into a new season.

You don’t have to repeat lessons just because they’re familiar.

You don’t have to earn love through endurance.

Change your habits and stop crying about everyone else.

Ask yourself:

What karmic habits am I ready to release?

Because the year doesn’t change you your choices do.

And this year, I chose freedom!
