I am probably the last person to push resolutions, so we’re gonna discuss resolutions from a pretty neutral position. I don’t think they’re necessarily necessary (I think you’re doing great!). Also, there’s nothing magical about the beginning of the year. You can set goals and redirect at any point during the year. Hopefully, that takes some pressure off. Now, let’s dive in!

Takeaways:

• Introspection and reflection are powerful tools to help determine how you feel about where you’re headed in life and if a course correction is in order.

• Avoidance is a common cause of doing things we don’t necessarily want to be doing. Pinpointing what you’re avoiding can help uncover the root cause of a symptom.

• Addressing the underlying reason you have a habit you’re wanting to change can be a powerful tool to help change it.

• Being honest with yourself is crucial when it comes to determining what changes to make, what is sustainable for you, and what goals are attainable.

• You’re human. That means you’re not perfect. Having a plan for when (not “if”) you mess up can be really helpful for getting back on track after a slip-up.

• You might not know what resources or support you need to actually achieve your goals until you start actually going for it. That’s okay. Sometimes you just have to start in order to figure out what else you need along the way.

• The only failure is when you give up on yourself. Making a mistake isn’t failure. It doesn’t make you a failure. Slipping up isn’t failure. As long as you haven’t given up, you’re still making progress. I hope you’re so proud of yourself. I am.

Takeaways:

• • Take time to rest because we could all use a break this time of year, and sometimes it takes slowing down to gain perspective and reflect so you can realign for the next season.

  • Reflecting can help us gain insight and clarity for where we’re headed next.

  • Your yearly reflection can look however you want. Journaling works for a lot of people, but you can also have a conversation with your partner, bestie, or mom. Maybe reviewing your Spotify wrapped, photo album, or instagram stories is more your speed.

  • Ask yourself: What did I learn? What made me feel alive? What brought me joy and purpose?

  • Be intentional about what you want to take with you into 2025 and what you want to leave behind. It’s easy to get into a routine and just stay there without really considering if it’s still working for you.

  • Before setting any more goals, Celebrate your wins! (Too often we gloss over our wins and move onto the next without acknowledging all we've accomplished)

Takeaways:

• Boundaries are especially important during the holiday season, and they’re not just for bad things. It’s okay to have boundaries for “too much of a good thing”.

• Rest is important during this time of year. I know it’s easy to let self-care slip when things get busy, but it’s even more important to take care of yourself when you have a ton going on!

• I’m a huge advocate for doing less, but it’s also important to remember to make room for what you want to do. Identify a couple of things that bring you joy and prioritize them this season.
