Year-End Review for Vatas, Pittas, & Kaphas

ayurveda

How was 2020 for you, honestly? 

2020 was undoubtedly a unique collective experience.

People keep saying it was unprecedented, but honestly, it wasn’t.

It was the same as any other year.

The truth of reality was magnified.

You could choose to wake up to the reality that all we have is the present moment, so we better appreciate the fuck out of it.

Or you could stay in your suffering, living in regrets from the past and fears of the future.

If you’re ready this, it was probably some combination of spiritual growth hindered by the ego.

Either way, 2020 is nearly over, and that means it’s time for an annual review!

Year-end reviews have become essential in my practice. It’s one of my favorite methods to help me set goals for a year filled with productivity, prosperity, and abundance.

Many moons ago, a friend forwarded me a year-end review. We ended up doing our reviews together for years. It became this big bonding experience for my friends and me. It was a MASSIVE success for all of us because we did our year-end reviews based on our doshas.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, doshas are a part of the ancient tradition of Ayurveda. Doshas embody the energetic forces of nature within the mind and body. 

They are comprised of:

🌎 Earth
🌊 Water
🔥 Fire
🌬 Air
⭐ Ether

These five elements blend together to create the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each dosha is made up of mainly two elements.

Which dosha are you?

Vata

Vatas are comprised of air and ether. If you are a Vata, you express it through creativity, movement, and the flow of the breath. 

Qualities: You are energetic, restless, and tend to jump from one idea to the other. You LOVE being in nature, it’s your sanctuary. Friends and family would describe you as having your head in the clouds and/or very easily distracted. You have an eye for beauty and love the sense of touch. You are very spiritually perceptive. 

Physical: Cold frequently, slim, dry skin, irregular appetite

Careers: These are my artists, freelance designers, photographers, writers, and creators

So, you’re a Vata? Amazing! Rock-on you free spirit, you. Susannah Conway wants you to make magic in 2021 with her Unravel Your Year Workbook. This year-end review was basically made for Vatas. Get it here. 

Not a Vata? Maybe you’re a…

Pitta

Fire and water are the elements that makeup Pitta. If you are a Pitta, you express it through intelligence, digestion, and metabolism.

Qualities: You are a perfectionist, and you know it. A “Type A” personality, no doubt. Others would describe you as incredibly intellectual. You’re the ultimate go-getter. Your ambition and drive make you love being the center of attention, and the attention loves you. 

Physical: Athletic build, strong metabolism, glowing skin, gets hot easily

Career: You’re probably a VP, sales manager, public speaker, or TV host

Kapha

Earth and water combine to form Kapha. If you are a Kapha, you express it through love, structure, and lubrication of the joints and tissues. 

Qualities: You care deeply for others but your compassion should never get mistaken as a weakness. As a true empath, you are strong, not just for yourself but for others. You know how to keep things together. People would describe you as calm and mindful. You take life at your own pace. Almost nothing fazes you. You come off as wise no matter how old you are. 

Physical: A healthy immune system, strong bones, and joints, thick hair, radiant skin, large eyes

Career: I’d be shocked if you weren’t a healer, a yoga teacher, nurse, massage therapist, or coach
