Embracing Intentions: A Gentle Start to the New Year
As the new year begins, it’s tempting to dive headfirst into “new year, new you” energy. But this season doesn’t have to be about rushing forward or making drastic changes. Instead, it’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and set meaningful intentions that align with how you want to feel throughout the year.
Rather than setting resolutions that often come with pressure, rigidity, and self-criticism, consider choosing intentions. Intentions feel softer and more supportive of growth. They’re not just about what you want to achieve but also about how you want to feel. For me, this year is about cultivating a life that feels calm, balanced, and joyful—without the unnecessary rush.
It’s important to remember that we are still in winter—a season of rest and hibernation. Nature itself slows down during this time, offering us a valuable reminder to do the same. Winter is not the time for rapid growth or endless to-do lists; it’s a time to reflect, recharge, and plant seeds for the future. By aligning with this natural rhythm, we allow ourselves the grace to move forward with clarity and purpose when the time is right.
One way to embrace this slower, more intentional approach is by focusing on baby steps. Small, consistent actions build momentum. Progress doesn’t have to be big or dramatic to be meaningful. Maybe it’s tackling an overflowing inbox, decluttering your desk or a cupboard, or organising your emails. Or perhaps it’s as simple as pausing to take a deep breath between tasks. Whatever your steps look like, progress is progress—no matter how small. Be kind to yourself along the way.
My intention this year is to feel aligned, connected, and expansive—and to support others in discovering the same.
