Happy New Year! Hoping you are off to a great start to the year. Instead of making resolutions for the new year I’ve realized that I’d rather make intentions for the year ahead. I used to set my resolutions and would break them by February. Now I’m setting intentions on ways I’d like to show up in the world.
For example, I’d love to bring more adventure into my life this year. In the past, I’ve always defined adventure by international travel. It was my happy place. Now, I’ve had to pivot and realize that there’s just as much, if not more adventure waiting around the corner in my own backyard.
I love this image above because it reminds me that California has so many mountain lakes to jump in.
On the flip side, I’d also love to eliminate and let go of some things. Those of you who know me know that the “purge” is my favorite part of the organizing process. What are some of the things you’d like to eliminate and let go of? The purge is my favorite part of the organizing process. I’d love to let go of shame and mommy guilt. It’s not serving me anymore.
If 2020 taught me to be flexible and resilient, I’d like 2021 to teach me to be more grounded. I want to live my truth and be my authentic self. If one of your intentions you’d like to see come to fruition is being more organized:
A few simple things you can do right now to set your intentions for the year are:
Put all your vacations on the calendar
Give a bag of clothes and toys away to the thrift store if you brought in new things from the holidays
Put reminders in your phone to intentionally take time for you. It could be as simple as a deep breath break for 5 minutes in the middle of your day
I’d love to hear about the intentions you are setting for yourself this year. And if you or someone you know would like to work with me on setting goals and working toward them give me a call!
