Happy New Year!
The end of a year offers us a clean slate, a springboard, a new start. Or, it can just be another day. I know so many people who aren’t resolutions people, and I get it. Resolutions can feel like pressure or a reminder of previous years when the resolution went unresolved.
Whether you’re a resolutions person or not, reflecting on the past and dreaming about the future can be a powerful exercise. Last night, a friend and I did a simple imagining practice, and I found it so insightful and fun that I wanted to share it with you. Download this New Year Imagining.pdf for your brainstorm, or create your own in your journal or on blank sheets of paper.
1. Lessons from 2024: In the first section, you’ll brainstorm things you learned in 2024 that you’d like to carry forward. These don’t have to be hard lessons. It might be something as simple as Trust yourself or Rest.
2. 2024 Accomplishments: In the second section, write down a list of your accomplishments from 2024.This section is to acknowledge and celebrate what you got done last year. On my list, for instance, I listed getting passports for my teenager and me. Though we didn’t get out of the country last year, getting the passports was a step towards a 2025 goal of international travel.
3. 2025 Goals: What do you want to do in 2025? Who do you want to see? Where do you want to go? This list might include decluttering your garage, hosting a monthly game night, or starting a new life chapter. Whatever comes to your mind, large or small goes here.
4. 2025 Wants & Wishes: Some goals are things that we can put on a to-do list and take the steps to get done. Others are things that we wish might happen, but might not have full control over. Let yourself dream here. What do you wish for yourself, your loved ones, your business, or home this year? Anything, anything!
5. I’d love to hear what you discover from this practice! Feel free to reply and share your lessons, accomplishments, or dreams for 2025.
May all your beautiful imaginings come to pass. Wishing you a year filled with joy, growth, and connection.
Warmly,
