Love you all!😍
Make 2023 the year you keep your Intentions by Creating a Theme for the new year that you will actually want to keep!
Setting a yearly theme is a great way to stay focused and intentional for the year ahead.
What you would like this year to be about. It’s like an overarching umbrella for the year.
Why should you choose a theme?
- Happiness isn’t about achieving a distant outcome (although it’s great when you do). Happiness comes from progress. Having only goals makes you focus only on the outcome. Having a theme helps you enjoy the daily progress.
- Helps you stay on track
- Makes you feel good. Doesn’t make you feel like a failure
- Makes your goals aligned to your values.
How to set a theme for the year?
1) Listen to your last year. Start by reflecting on what your last year was like. What went well? What didn’t go well? What goals did you achieve? What goals did you miss?
2) Listen to your goals for the year. Next, reflect on what is ahead for you. What are your goals for this coming year? What are the ways that you need to grow, stretch, change, and risk to achieve those goals?
3) Listen for themes. As you do this work, look for connections between all of these items. What are the themes you see emerging?
4) Choose a word that fits. Sometimes it’s more obvious than others, but the last step is simply choosing a word that connects to as many of these things as possible. 1-3 words long. Can come in your meditation or dream too.
5) Make it visible. Put it on sticky notes or your vision board.
