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’m planning a backpacking trip this summer in the Sierras with my family. I’m excited to get out into nature and unplug. No email or phone, just the thought of it makes my heart rate slow down.
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 this year? I’d love to let go of resisting things I can’t control. This is a big one for me.
If 2021 taught me to be flexible and resilient, I’d like 2022 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!
