If you’ve been following my content over the years, you know that I’m not a big fan of setting New Year’s resolutions. Why do we feel the need to declare a massive change in January while losing sight of our habits day-to-day? We put so much pressure on ourselves not to fail, that it becomes counterproductive. It’s no wonder the vast majority of people give up on that resolution by February – and I don’t blame them! There’s a better way to set yourself up for success throughout the year.
What I prefer to do is set an intention for the year in the form of one word. I can come back to that word throughout the year and embrace what it means to me. It also helps me make decisions and prioritize my time by considering if a new endeavor aligns with my intention.
This year, my word is IMPACT. Last year was the year of growth, and now I want to create a greater impact stemming from 2023’s growth. I want to grow Empower Physio and Wellness, reaching more people and impacting their lives for the better. I want to impact the community. I want to give people hope that they can feel better, live life with more confidence, and move with joy and peace.
I also want to have an impact on my family. That includes raising my boys with emotional intelligence, teaching them life skills, and how to be kind humans. When all is said and done, the tangible things in life will be gone and we will pass away. What will be left is our legacy, how we made other people feel, and the lessons we passed on.
My goal is to keep growing and spreading impact in the community. Through personal and professional growth, I can impact more people. And those people can impact other people. And those people can impact other people. The potential is limitless.
Remember, entering a new year doesn’t have to start off with pressure. We all have enough of that in our lives. Instead, focus on what resonates with you. Whether that’s a goal, a habit, a mindset shift, or just being happy and content with where you are now.
- What’s on your heart for 2024?
- Are you ready to try something new or make a change?
- Are you being called to have a greater impact on yourself or others?
The most important thing is to focus on something that is fulfilling and invigorating for you. This will carry you forward when it gets tough to stay in alignment with your goal or vision. Know that we are cheering for you as we enter 2024. Let’s make this year a great one!
