Intentions vs. Resolutions
I don’t set New Year’s Resolutions!
Knowing that I am a coach, that statement may surprise you??
I always assumed that setting New Years Resolutions would motivate me but it actually did the opposite. The goals I set were too confining, rigid and didn’t allow for flexibility.
A few years ago I started setting New Years Intentions instead. I journal about my vision for what would make the new year a fabulous year for me. 🤩
I ask myself questions to help guide me developing my Intentions. My intentions are focused on the aspects of my life that make me feel complete.
A few of the questions I ask myself:
What does success look like for me?
What do I want to learn or explore?
What are the things I want for myself and my life in the coming year?
Who are people that I want to connect with?
What are things that I can focus on when I’m feeling overwhelmed?
What are the things that give me purpose?
Who are people that bring out the best in me?
What question(s) would help you with your intentions for this year?
