New year rituals

I love the energy of a new year. We’re cozy. And we’re reflecting, planning, and dreaming up new goals. Here’s what I like to think about as we approach a new year.

Mantra: I like to pick a word/phrase/theme for the year ahead. A couple years ago my mantra was focused on being intentional. Last year my phrase was “everything is always working out for me”. This year, it’s “everything expands when I let go”. I love doing this because it’s a gentle reminder throughout the year – but it reverberates into everything.

Podcasts: The podcast episode I repeat at least once a year is the “We are supported by… Oprah Winfrey” episode on Armchair Expert. Just listen to it. It’s great. There is so much goodness about intention, people pleasing, etc.

Vision board: I go on Pinterest. I search for the words aligned with my mantra and goals. I take some screenshots. I use adobe or paint or something and put all those screenshots in the same place. I think you can even do this natively in Pinterest now. Then make that my phone/laptop/ipad background. Boom. Done.

ChatGPT: I recently asked ChatGPT “What to think about when doing new years goal planning” and it gave me sooo much to think about and respond to. Love.

What are your new year rituals?!
