January is the time many of us make resolutions and set goals – career goals, personal goals, health goals…
If you’re anything like me the problem is by the end of January motivation has dropped and resolutions have fallen by the wayside. This makes you start the year feeling bad about yourself. And with this sense of failure, the inner critic starts a party in your head.
If resolutions haven’t worked for you in the past why not try a new approach?
Set Intentions instead.
They’re authentic, attainable and more meaningful than resolutions.
Intentions don’t set you up to fail – they give you permission to make change slowly. ✨
This allows you to be more consistent and kinder to yourself when relapses happen (which they will).
Resolutions create a sense of lack – you are not enough. They heighten awareness of imperfections. They make you feel bad about yourself. This makes it incredibly difficult to maintain positivity around your resolution.
For instance, the resolution ‘I want to start a new hobby’ puts pressure on you to question what you’re good at, find the right hobby and persevere – not to mention finding the time to fit it in. That’s pressure that doesn’t serve you well.
Instead, consider the intention ‘I want more creativity in my life’. Immediately it offers up opportunities. It’s open and rather than charged with obligation it has a sense of ease and invitation to it. You can do as much or as little as you’re able without fear of failure or self-recrimination.
Instead of, ‘I want to eat less junk food’ say ‘I want to feel more healthy and energetic’. Identifying the feeling you want to achieve focuses your body, mind and spirit. (I can help you achieve this, if you let me.)
So stop the resolutions, don’t do it to yourself.
Let me help you set intentions for the new year as you start you on your path to empowerment and fulfillment of your true potential.
