The start of the new year brings a lot of reflection.
Some people are a fan of new year’s resolutions. Others find that instead of focusing on one goal it is more helpful to think of a word that serves as the theme for the new year. Still others take a more relaxed and “go with the flow” approach to it all.
In order to move forward, it is important to leave behind what isn’t serving you anymore. Here are some strategies that can help you get rid of the old and make way for the new:
Create an Intention Board for 2018
Use something more broad like “be kinder to myself” or specific like “try something new at least once every few weeks.” You can create one for the whole year or break it up month by month. If you go the month-by-month route, generate new intentions based on the season and what else is going on in your life at that time.
Destinate 1 Word to Serve as the Theme for 2018
For example, your 2018 word could be “empower.” As you go about each day, you can think “how can I empower not only myself but others?”
Reflect on What isn’t Serving You Anymore
What are you longing to change? How can you let it go? Talking it out with a friend or loved one or journaling about it can be helpful.
