Happy New Year! As we embrace the fresh start of the year, I want to share how I’ve shifted away from new year’s resolutions to a process that I find more meaningful and transformative. Instead, I set my intention and vision for the new year.

I start by choosing a word that is my theme and compass for the year. This year I cheated and picked a phrase that resonates deeply – “Authentic Upgrade.”

Then I do a practice of setting my intentions, decisions, and vision for the new year.

(I picked this practice up from my awesome business coach):

1. Set Intentions, Not Just Goals: I reflect on “How do you want to feel this year?” For me, it’s about tuning into my intuition, being more present, finding joy and ease, and connecting deeply with the universe.
2. Decide Who I Want to Be: This year, I’m choosing to be someone who cultivates happiness, takes aligned action, and empowers others boldly. What about you?

Finally, I create a digital vision board. I create mine in Canva, using images that mirror my intentions and dreams. I use Google image search and Unsplash to search for images that reflect what I want to manifest and accomplish this year. I set my computer background to the image and also print it out and hang it on my office wall where I can see it every day.

What is your process for setting yourself up for success in the new year?

Let’s make 2024 a year of authenticity, vibrancy, and bold steps towards our dreams.

Cheers, Jossie
