Intentions Instead of Resolutions

A new year often comes with a lot of pressure.

But growth doesn’t have to start with fixing or forcing.

Intentions invite awareness and compassion.

They ask what you need — not what you lack.

You’re allowed to enter this year gently.

Breathing more.

Letting go.

Growing at your own pace.

How are those New Year Resolutions Going?
How are those resolutions going? Your life doesn’t change when you make promises to yourself. Your life changes when you SURRENDER your steps to God. #goals

Goals, Resolutions and Intentions ✨
When I first set my 2025 goals, I felt overwhelmed and guilty for not making the progress I wanted in 2024. I could barely think about 2025 after contemplating giving up on so many goals 😩 🌻 But instead of giving in to my feelings of overwhelm, regret, and thinking I'd missed my opportunity.

Don’t give up on your resolutions!
1. Rest & Regroup. My guess is, especially if you’re changing your lifestyle, there’s a chance you went a little too hard in the paint right away. Don’t quit just a break. Take a day to rest, regroup. Going too hard in the beginning will wear you out and you’ll end up miserable and even resent

What are your 2026 resolutions?
Typically, during December I write out 2-3 small attainable goals for each month for the next year that have a theme! It helps me stay focused, organized, and actually excited about my resolutions instead of overwhelmed. Do you plan your goals monthly too, or set one big yearly intention?
