"I Will ______" in 2025: Why This Year Will Be Different (Maybe)

It’s officially 2025, folks.

 We’ve survived another trip around the sun, and the new year has come loaded with the usual cargo: resolutions, promises, and declarations like “This year, I will finally [insert lofty goal here].” 

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Well, before you dive headfirst into this annual exercise in optimism, let’s get real about why change can feel like chasing a caffeine fueled hamster on an infinite wheel. The truth is, making meaningful changes requires breaking old patterns. And breaking patterns isn’t as easy as swapping coffee for matcha or adding kale to your smoothies. If it were, you’d already have the six-pack, the perfect relationship, and the ability to resist doom-scrolling at 2 a.m.

Patterns: The Invisible Reality Puppeteers

Let’s cut to the chase: most of us are stuck in loops, whether we realize it or not. These patterns are sneaky little devils—woven into how we think, feel, and act. They’re inherited, learned, or sometimes just karmic souvenirs you’ve been lugging around for lifetimes. The result? You set goals but unconsciously sabotage them. It’s like saying, “I will quit procrastinating,” but then binge-watching cat videos for three hours.

Breaking patterns isn’t about willpower. It’s about understanding what’s driving them in the first place. You can’t fight what you don’t see. That’s where the magic happens, and no, it’s not the kind of magic that involves fairy dust or chanting under a full moon (unless that’s your thing).

Helena Collins’ Apex Life in Synergy Program: The Karma Game Changer

If you’re serious about tackling those patterns, meet your new best friend: Helena Collins and her Apex Life in Synergy program. Think of it as a master class in rewiring your inner autopilot. This program goes beyond the surface-level “just think positive” advice. It digs deep—helping you recognize and dismantle the energetic blocks holding you back.

Whether your goal is to level up your career, improve your relationships, or finally stop having the same bs arguments with yourself, Apex Life in Synergy equips you with the tools to make it happen. It’s practical, powerful, and tailored for real people living real lives.

(Also, if you’re reading this while eating leftover holiday cookies, no judgment—Apex Life in Synergy is all about meeting you where you’re at.)

Why 2025? Because It’s Already Here

Here’s the funny thing about 2025: it’s not waiting for you to get your act together. The global clock is ticking toward 2026, and the world keeps spinning. If you keep saying, “I will _____,” without taking action, you’re just putting today’s goals on tomorrow’s to-do list. Spoiler: tomorrow is always one day away.

The good news? Change is always possible—no matter what year it is. But to make real progress, you need to get off the hamster wheel and learn how to walk your own path. Helena Collins can show you the way.

Leveling Up: A Guide to Enlightenment in 2025

Glow up in 2025 with Life in Synergy.com

When you hear enlightenment, what comes to mind?

A wise old monk meditating in the mountains? Some guru dropping "fire" knowledge? Let’s keep it 100—enlightenment isn’t some bougie, out-of-reach vibe. It’s about unlocking your best self, flexing your inner peace, and vibing high in this chaotic world.

What Even Is Enlightenment?

Enlightenment isn’t about being perfect or hitting god-mode in life. It’s more like realizing that the grind, the drama, and the noise? They’re not the main character—you are. It’s when you stop letting your past Ls or future anxiety gatekeep your present moment. Enlightenment is the ultimate glow-up for your mind and soul.

Signs You’re On the Path to Enlightenment

1. You’re Unbothered AF.
   Drama hits, and instead of popping off, you’re like, “Okay, cool.” You’re not out here wasting your energy on stuff that doesn’t vibe with your growth.

2. Your Intuition Is OP.
   You start trusting your gut more than that random TikTok psychic. Decisions feel more aligned, and you’re not second-guessing every move.

3. You Let Go of the Cringe.
   Whether it’s your ex or that embarrassing thing you said in 8th grade, you learn to release the stuff that doesn’t serve you.

4. You’re Obsessed with Growth.
   Enlightenment is the OG self-improvement plan. You’re constantly leveling up, not just for clout but because it feels legit good.

How to Start Your Enlightenment Arc

1. Stop Doomscrolling and Start Meditating.

You don’t need a $500 a day yoga retreat or a crystal collection to meditate. Just find a quiet spot, sit down, and breathe. Even five minutes of mindfulness can turn your brain from a chaotic group chat into a peaceful playlist.

2. Cut Out Low-Vibe Energy.

If your group chat is all tea and toxicity, maybe it’s time to mute the convo. Surround yourself with people who hype you up and want to see you win. Helena Collins of Life in Synergy perhaps? The quicker you see an opportunity and take advantage of it ( like studying with Helena a true Master of enlightenment) the sooner you will see the world behind the world.

3. Focus on the Present Moment.

Being stuck in the past or stressing about the future is so last season. Practice staying in the now. Pro tip: Next time you’re eating, put down your phone and really taste your food. Game-changer.

4. Get Real About Your Patterns.

Why do you keep dating the same walking red flag? Or procrastinating until 2 AM? Enlightenment isn’t just about good vibes—it’s about facing your patterns head-on. This is where Helena Collins' Apex Life in Synergy program can help. It’s like a cheat code to uncover why you’re stuck and how to break free. Check it out at www.lifeinsynergy.com.

Why Enlightenment is the Ultimate Flex

In a world where everyone’s chasing clout, being enlightened is the real flex. It’s not about how many followers you have or what car you drive—it’s about inner peace, self-awareness, and living authentically. When you’re enlightened, you’re not playing the comparison game. You’re out here, fully aligned, living your best life.

TL;DR: Enlightenment is For Everyone

You don’t need to be a monk or a spiritual influencer to level up. Enlightenment is about doing the inner work, ditching what doesn’t serve you, and stepping into your power. Start small, keep it real, and trust the process. The glow-up will come. And if you need a boost, hit up Helena Collins and her Apex Life in Synergy program—it’s like having a coach for your soul.

Ready to vibe higher? Let’s get it.

The Vastness of Human Potential vs. The Infection of Old Energies

As we walk through the modern world, it’s almost impossible not to marvel at how much things have changed.

Fashion has evolved from Victorian corsets to athleisure and sustainable wear. Technology has taken us from hand-cranked telephones to devices that fit in our palms, connecting us instantly across continents. The climate, once stable and predictable, is now a chaotic force reminding us daily of the impacts of human activity. In so many ways, humanity has made progress, and yet, when you look beneath the surface, ancient, outdated energies continue to linger like a silent infection.

We speak of human potential in lofty terms. There’s an unspoken acknowledgment that each of us is capable of extraordinary things. At our core, we are beings of light, creativity, and love, capable of profound transformation both personally and collectively. The potential is vast, unlimited even. But old energies, some of which have persisted for millennia, are slowing down the growth of humanity, keeping us tethered to cycles of suffering and imbalance.

Fashion & Technology Have Evolved, So Why Haven’t We?

Think about it: how has fashion changed over the last century? Once symbols of status and class, clothing now reflects individuality, freedom, and even resistance. We’ve transitioned from rigid gendered clothing norms to embracing fluidity in expression. Yet, despite this evolution, look at how power dynamics—like sexism and gender inequality—continue to thrive. The clothing may have changed, but the underlying issues of control, hierarchy, and worthiness linger.

Similarly, technology has brought us to the brink of miracles. We’ve created machines that think faster than we do, artificial intelligence that learns, and spacecraft that reach beyond our solar system. And yet, with all this advancement, the emotional wounds of our ancestors—racism, greed, desire for control—remain disturbingly familiar. Isn’t it curious that while technology marches forward at an exponential rate, our hearts, our emotional intelligence, often seem stuck?

We’ve been raised in a world where old energies like fear and separation continue to dictate our choices. Racism, sexism, and greed aren’t merely relics of past generations—they are living forces, woven into the very fabric of our societies. They thrive in the shadows, infecting new generations despite our technological sophistication.

The Inertia of Old Energies: Why Does This Happen?

What is it about these old energies that make them so sticky, so hard to shake? Part of the issue lies in their subtlety. While fashion and technology are external and visible, emotional and karmic imbalances are invisible forces that persist beneath the surface. These energies thrive in patterns, passed down through generations—sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously.

Many of us were taught to believe that survival comes from power, that control ensures safety, and that the "other" is to be feared. These beliefs are deeply ingrained, and they don’t disappear just because we invent smartphones or revolutionize fashion. They take root in our families, communities, and institutions, quietly shaping the world around us.

Old energies are comfortable. They feel safe because they are familiar. Breaking out of them requires us to confront uncomfortable truths about ourselves and the world. It means we have to look in the mirror and see where we, too, have perpetuated division, judgment, and fear. It means stepping into new ways of being, where the heart, not the ego, leads the way.

So What Do We Do?

There is hope, of course. If human potential is truly infinite, then we have the capacity to transcend these old energies. The question is, how?

First, it begins with awareness.

Becoming aware of the old patterns we carry—whether personal or societal—gives us the power to change them. You can’t fix what you don’t acknowledge. We need to recognize how these forces show up in our lives, not just in large systemic ways, but in the subtle, everyday interactions we have. Where does control creep in? Where does fear of the unknown arise?

Second, we need tools to dissolve these energies.

That’s where programs like Apex Life in Synergy come into play. Helena Collins’ program is designed to not only raise awareness of these ancient forces but also provide a roadmap for moving beyond them. It’s not enough to just talk about how the world needs to change; we need practical steps to untangle the old threads and weave something new.

Lastly, we need courage. Growth is uncomfortable. It requires us to step into the unknown and let go of the security that old energies offer, even if they no longer serve us. But the reward is profound—personal and collective evolution, where humanity finally begins to tap into its vast potential.

Human Potential: The Next Frontier

The external world will continue to evolve—fashion, technology, climate. But true change happens within. Imagine if, alongside our technological advancements, we began to heal the old wounds of racism, sexism, and greed. Imagine a world where the pursuit of power and control gave way to collaboration and compassion. We are on the cusp of something extraordinary, but we cannot carry the infection of old energies with us into the future. The time to shed them is now, and the tools to do so are already in our hands. If we can harness the potential within, humanity’s next great leap won’t be a technological one, but a spiritual one.

Fear: The Hidden Gateway to Spiritual Growth

Fear. It’s an ancient, primal response embedded deep within us, designed to keep us alive.

In moments of physical danger, it kicks in, sharpens our senses, and propels us to fight or flee. But beyond its life-saving utility, fear has another, more elusive role—it holds a key to our spiritual awakening. Yet, fear in its many forms can block our path, keeping us trapped in cycles of worry, self-doubt, and avoidance. Understanding how fear manifests is essential to unlocking the hallways of our consciousness, where powerful emotions lie dormant, waiting to be acknowledged.

The Many Faces of Fear

Fear shows up in our lives in ways that go beyond mere survival instincts. Often, it hides behind layers of emotions like anxiety, dread, or insecurity, quietly dictating our decisions and actions. It's fear that tells us to shrink, to play small, to stick with what we know instead of stepping into the unknown. It clouds our inner vision, making it difficult to connect with our higher selves or embrace spiritual growth.

At times, fear isn’t even about immediate threats. It can be inherited, passed down from generations, shaped by past traumas, or even carried from past lifetimes. These inherited fears may stem from long-forgotten memories or karmic imprints, subtly influencing how we move through the world today. While some fears are easy to recognize, others sit beneath the surface, subtly guiding our decisions, often without us even realizing.

Fear as a Spiritual Roadblock

From a spiritual standpoint, fear can block us from progressing. It acts like an internal dam, preventing us from accessing the deeper realms of consciousness where our highest truths reside. Think of fear as a hallway, where every door represents an opportunity to heal, to grow, and to expand. But as long as we remain gripped by fear, these doors stay closed, and we become stuck in a single, narrow corridor of life.

For example, fear of failure can keep us from exploring new opportunities or starting on a spiritual path. Fear of rejection holds us back from forming meaningful connections with others. Even the fear of our own potential—of being truly seen, heard, and understood—can keep us small and stagnant, stifling our spiritual progress. But fear isn’t just an obstacle; it’s also a doorway. When we confront and embrace it, we unlock access to emotional and spiritual layers that lie just beyond. Inside this fear exists more than just dread or discomfort. There’s wisdom, healing, and the chance for release.

The Substrate of Fear: A Path to Emotional Release

Fear is not just an isolated emotion; it's a substrate—a fertile ground where many other emotions are stored. Beneath the surface of fear, there are often other unresolved feelings: grief, anger, shame, sadness. These emotions become embedded within us, waiting for the right trigger to emerge. Fear opens the door for these emotions to rise to the surface, giving us the opportunity to release them.

Picture a hallway in your mind, lined with doors.

Behind each door, there are fragments of past memories where fear has played a role.

Some of these memories are clear and easily remembered, while others are so deeply buried they seem distant and vague.

But the moment fear shows up, the doors start to open, bringing forth not just the memory of fear, but every emotion that came with it—helplessness, sadness, or even regret.

When we face fear, we’re not just confronting the immediate emotion; we’re also offered a chance to release the entire emotional tapestry that’s been stored along with it.

Turning Fear into a Catalyst for Growth

While fear can be debilitating, it also has the power to initiate profound spiritual growth. When we experience fear, we often feel a visceral tightening or constriction. This physical sensation is a signal—an opportunity to look deeper. Rather than running from fear, we can turn toward it, asking, "What is this fear trying to show me?"

In the Apex Life in Synergy program, we teach that fear is a guide, not an enemy. When we lean into our fears, rather than running away, we begin to see fear as a form of spiritual resistance that holds valuable lessons. Much like resistance in physical exercise strengthens muscles, resistance in spiritual practice strengthens the soul. By identifying the root of our fears, we start to dismantle the barriers that block our personal growth and soul ascension.

It's important to recognize that many of our fears are not entirely ours. They are inherited from our ancestors, imprinted in our DNA, passed down through generations. These fears may have once served a purpose—protecting us from physical harm or ensuring our survival—but they no longer serve us in the same way today. Now, these inherited fears can limit our spiritual progress. When we consciously work to release these fears, we not only heal ourselves but also free future generations from the chains of past trauma.

Walking Through the Doorways of Fear

Each time fear arises, it offers a chance to pause, breathe, and walk through the doorway it opens. On the other side of fear, there is clarity, freedom, and expansion. But to reach that other side, we must be willing to face the discomfort head-on. This isn’t easy, and it isn’t always immediate. But with patience, self-compassion, and the right tools, we can transform fear into a catalyst for growth.

At Apex Life in Synergy, we believe in embracing fear as part of the journey. Helena Collins’ unique approach helps individuals explore their deepest fears in a safe and supportive environment, guiding them to release the emotional baggage that has accumulated over the years. The program's tailored methods offer the tools to not only face fear but to see it for what it truly is—a spiritual teacher, guiding us toward deeper awareness and emotional liberation.

As you continue on your journey of self-discovery, remember that fear isn’t something to be ashamed of or avoided. Instead, it’s a signpost, pointing you to areas of your life where there’s room for growth, healing, and spiritual evolution. Walk the hallway of fear, open the doors, and see what lies on the other side. You may be surprised by the liberation that awaits.

A Free Mind Can Create Miracles: Addressing Climate Change issues with Inner Clarity

Climate change is, without a doubt, one of the most pressing challenges we face today.

With rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental destruction threatening the future, it’s easy to get caught up in worry and fear. Yet, while these concerns are valid, dwelling in constant anxiety can sap our creative potential. The truth is, if we allow fear to dominate our minds, we close ourselves off to the energy and inspiration that could help us find solutions.

This is where freeing your internal energy becomes so critical.

Worry, guilt, and stress lock us into a cycle of stagnation. When your mind is consumed by anxiety, whether it’s about the environment, your personal life, or the state of the world, it becomes difficult to see beyond the problems. Inspiration can't reach us when we're tangled in fear. Helena Collins’ Apex Life in Synergy program teaches us that freeing yourself from internal blocks—whether they come from guilt, worry, or old karmic patterns—opens the door to a flow of new energy. This energy isn’t just about feeling better, it’s about creating new possibilities. When your mind is free, unburdened by fear, you can tap into a deeper well of creativity and inspiration. And in that clear space, miracles can happen.

Think of all the world-changing ideas and breakthroughs that have come from moments of clarity—when the mind is open and receptive, rather than bogged down with worry. Whether you’re an activist, a leader, or someone simply trying to live more consciously, you have the power to generate solutions when your energy is aligned and your mind is free from fear. Yes, climate change is daunting, but dwelling in the fear of what could go wrong doesn’t help the planet—or you. It’s time to shift the focus from fear to creation. Helena Collins’ Apex Life in Synergy offers a path to clear your mind of the noise and unlock the creative energy within you. When you clear your karmic patterns and align with your highest self, you become part of the solution rather than the problem.

A free mind can create miracles—whether in the form of new environmental technologies, innovative policies, or simply personal actions that ripple out into the world. The planet needs clear-minded, inspired individuals now more than ever.

The Power of Collective Consciousness

Responsibility is more than a burden; it is a gift, a chance to contribute to the tapestry of collective consciousness.

When we take responsibility for our actions and their ripple effects, we engage in a dance of interconnectedness. Each step, each decision, reverberates through the web of life, touching the lives of others in ways we might never fully comprehend.

Imagine a society where every individual is acutely aware of their impact. From the smallest acts of kindness to the grandest gestures of change, each action contributes to a wave of collective upliftment. It’s like adding a drop of color to a canvas; over time, the picture becomes more vibrant, more reflective of our highest ideals.

Taking responsibility is an act of empowerment. It is the moment we choose to shift from being passive recipients of life’s circumstances to active participants in our destiny. This shift is not just a personal transformation but a catalyst for global change. When we own our choices, we step into a space of growth and possibility. Challenges become opportunities for learning, failures transform into stepping stones for success. This mindset, when adopted widely, creates a culture of resilience and innovation. It turns obstacles into pathways, leading us towards a world where solutions are born from the fertile ground of responsibility.

The Role of Ethical Leadership

In leadership, responsibility is the cornerstone of trust and integrity. Leaders who are accountable set a precedent, inspiring those around them to follow suit. They cultivate environments where ethical practices flourish, and in doing so, they lay the foundation for sustainable and equitable progress. Imagine a world led by individuals who prioritize responsibility over personal gain. These leaders are not just figures of authority but beacons of hope, guiding us towards a future where justice and fairness are not just ideals but realities. Their actions inspire a domino effect, fostering a culture of accountability that permeates through organizations, communities, and beyond.

Our planet is a testament to the necessity of responsible stewardship. Each decision we make about our consumption, our waste, our relationship with nature, reflects our commitment to the future. Responsibility in this context means living with an awareness of our ecological footprint and making choices that honor the Earth and its inhabitants. Envision a world where every individual takes responsibility for their environmental impact. Small changes, like reducing plastic use or conserving water, accumulate into significant shifts. This collective effort has the power to reverse damage, heal ecosystems, and ensure that future generations inherit a world of abundance and beauty.

Driving Social Change

Responsibility extends to the social realm, where it calls us to recognize and address injustices. It asks us to confront our privileges, challenge systemic inequalities, and work towards a more inclusive society. When we take responsibility for social change, we become active participants in the creation of a fairer world. Picture a society where each person takes responsibility for fostering equity. This could mean standing up against discrimination, advocating for marginalized communities, or simply listening with empathy and understanding. Each act of social responsibility adds a thread to the fabric of change, weaving a tapestry of justice that wraps around our world.

Inner Peace and Harmony

Responsibility is not just an external practice; it is an internal journey. Taking responsibility for our emotions, our reactions, and our growth leads to inner peace and harmony. It shifts our focus from blame and victimhood to empowerment and serenity. Imagine a world full of individuals who are at peace with themselves. This inner harmony radiates outward, creating a ripple effect of calm and understanding. When we take responsibility for our inner state, we contribute to a world where conflicts are resolved with compassion and differences are embraced with respect.

The Catalyst for Transformation

Responsibility is the key to transformation. By embracing our power to effect change, we move from being passive observers to active architects of our world. This transformation is not just personal but collective, paving the way for a world that reflects our highest aspirations. Visualize a world where responsibility is the norm. Each individual, each community, each nation, stepping into their power, creating ripples of positive change that converge into a tidal wave of transformation. This is the world we can build, a world where responsibility is the catalyst for a future brimming with possibility and promise.

Responsibility is not a weight to be carried, but a light to be shared. It is the spark that ignites change, the ripple that shifts worlds. As we embrace this gift, we unlock the power to create a world that is compassionate, sustainable, and just.

Let us step into our responsibility, not as a burden, but as a beacon, guiding us towards a brighter, more harmonious future. The world awaits our collective shift. Let’s make it happen, one responsible choice at a time. 🌟

How are you embracing responsibility in your life? Start your Apex Life in Synergy journey and inspire others to join the shift with you. Together, we can create a world that reflects our highest aspirations.

Why? A Journey into the Depths of Existence

In the tapestry of life, one word stands out with an intensity that can either enlighten or confound: Why?

This simple question, often dismissed in the bustle of daily life, holds the key to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the universe around us. It is the spark that ignites curiosity, the compass that guides our spiritual journey, and the lens through which we perceive the world behind the world. From childhood, the word "why" is our gateway to learning. It is the child's incessant questioning that leads to a vast discovery of the world. However, as we grow older, the inquisitive nature often dims, replaced by routines and responsibilities. Yet, those who reignite the quest for "why" embark on a path of self-discovery that is profound and transformative.

"Why" challenges us to look beyond the surface, to question the very essence of our beliefs, actions, and existence. It is the beginning of awareness, the first step towards a deeper connection with our inner selves and the universe.

Take time

Today's Reflection: A Lesson from a Swan

Today’s blog takes a more introspective turn, prompted by a poignant reminder from nature itself.

This morning, as I wandered through the natural haven we are blessed to inhabit—home to over 90 species of birds, along with frogs, muskrats, opossums, coyotes, fisher cats, and both snapping and regular turtles—I encountered a deeply moving scene. Among these creatures are swans, majestic birds known for their lifelong bonds. Tragically, this season has been cut short for one such pair; the male swan has passed away, leaving his mate alone to tend their nest. Observing her solitary vigil, waiting for a partner who will never return, was heartbreakingly profound. Before writing this blog, I delved into some research about swans and discovered that they mate for life, their dedication unwavering.

The loss of the male swan led me to a broader contemplation:

•How does the transition of energy from one form to another influence human consciousness each time it occurs?

•What lessons are we to learn when faced with such transitions?

The message that resonates through this experience is clear: Take time.

But take time for what, exactly?

It’s about truly seeing and appreciating those around us.

Whether it’s family, friends, or a significant others, now is the moment to express our love and gratitude. The abrupt departure of our swan, who left for food only to never return, was not planned—much like many events in our own lives. Yet, it underscores the unpredictability of life and the plans the universe holds. In meditating on this sad event, I've been prompted to reflect on the profound "why" behind what we observe. The answer always circles back to the same simple yet profound directive I often receive in meditations: Take time. You can dismiss this as mere musings, or you can embrace it and decide to take time for what truly matters. For me, today, that means spending precious moments with the light of my life, my Helena, with gratitude to the swan whose brief presence in our lives brought this timeless reminder: Cherish the now.

Thank you, beautiful swan, for your fleeting but significant impact in our lives, now I am going to pamper my Queen (even more).
