Letting Go of Obsolete Thinking
Sat Feb 07 2026
Ep #347 - Letting Go of Obsolete Thinking - A Solo Show with your host, Susan Burrell
We are now in the first week of February 2026, and I am focusing on the collective message of awakening your inner authority. We are still feeling the effects of the Chinese Year of the Snake as it comes to a close—and through this process, we are continuing to shed all that no longer serves us. This is important to pay attention to as we approach the Year of the Fire Horse. Here, I am referring to the Chinese New Year, which begins on February 17, 2026.
The Year of the Fire Horse represents fast, rapid timing, with life appearing to move quickly. Because of this, it’s essential to listen to your inner authority and pause before making choices or reacting to what is occurring outside of yourself.
I believe much of last year was about becoming aware of what no longer serves you—or the collective. As we approach the end of this phase, the Year of the Snake, I encourage you to notice what is showing up for you. Reflect on what no longer serves and allow yourself to let it go. Listen within to hear what is being communicated. This inner listening will help you step into the new and fully enter the Year of the Fire Horse.
We are now creating for ourselves and co-creating what we want to see in our lives. This begins within the guidance system that lives in the heart-space. We are at a place where we can claim our own authority. This is ancient wisdom. It is intuition. It resides within each of us and will guide you—if you listen.
Are you paying attention to it?
Do you want to continue obsolete thinking?
To keep doing what was, even when it no longer serves you?
We have been conditioned to listen to others, to outer authority—but the time has come to listen within. To listen to yourself. To go deep. To quiet the outside noise so you can hear the whispers within. I say: trust that voice. Trust yourself, and release the obsolete thinking that has kept you stuck.
This process requires exploration. Journaling may help. A meditative walk. Or simply going quiet and creating space to listen.
What is needed now is a higher frequency of love and energy to prevail. So I ask you:
Are you functioning at a low frequency?
Are you allowing outside sources to dictate how you function?
It is time to shift—to pay attention to what we are allowing to guide us—and to move from obsolete thinking and low-frequency energy into a state that embraces love, kindness, and higher-frequency awareness. This state becomes accessible when we listen to our inner authority, which lives within the heart-center.
Fear places a veil over what we can truly hear and see. That’s why it’s important not to make decisions from a place of fear. Fear does not serve you—or the collective.
My intention is to observe what is happening in the world without reacting from fear, but instead from an awakened inner authority. I invite you to come with me on this journey and learn how to tap into your own inner authority.
