Let’s make big change real…

Set your intentions for the New Year

Forget New Year’s resolutions… Let’s focus on something meaningful!

I’ve curated this guide for you to use to reflect on your vision, refine your mission, and map out meaningful actions for the year ahead.

Use this as a guide as a journaling, or goal-setting framework, or turn it into a fun and insightful session for two - as I often do each year with hubby.

Good snacks, a calm space, and an open mindset are essential to making the most of this experience. Enjoy!

Let’s get started!

  • Reflecting on the year just past

    Before you get started, do something that gives you creative energy… Take a walk, or do a fun activity or icebreaker, and then take a moment to ground yourself in the present.

    Grab paper, colourful pens, and whatever else you want to use.

    Thinking back over the past year:

    What were my biggest learnings this year? What did they teach me about myself?

    What achievement am I most proud of, and why?

    What have I learned about what truly matters to me?


    Summing up this past year:

    I would describe this past year in three words:

    1.

    2.

    3.




  • Reimagining the year ahead

    Imagine you are writing to yourself from the end of the year ahead.

    - I feel (be specific)...

    - I am doing, seeing, experiencing, and creating…

    - I am surrounded by…

    Summing up the coming year…

    My hopes for this coming year in three words:

    Describe what each of these words mean for you, personally…

    My Mission Statement:

    Combine these three words into a mission statement that captures your vision for the year ahead. Write it as a powerful, personal declaration that means something to you about the impact you want to have in 2025:

    My mission for 2025 is to...





  • Taking action on my mission and vision

    Key actions:

    The 3-5 actions I must take to bring my mission to life this coming year:

    1.

    2.

    3.

    4.

    5.

    For each of these actions, prioritise them from 1-5.

    My #1 priority

    The thing that matters most to me this year, above all else is….

    Navigating challenges:

    What challenges or trade-offs might I face?

    How will I prepare myself to navigate them?

    Leveraging strengths:

    What strengths, skills, or qualities do I bring to this mission?

    Seeking support:

    What support do I need, and who can I turn to for help or accountability?

Wrap-up: commitment & accountability

Take a moment to review your reflections and plan. Commit to revisiting this tool periodically throughout the year to check in on your progress and realign as needed.

Your journey starts now.

Get ready to embrace the year with intention, insight, and impact.
