In Episode 35 of A Little Bit Easier, “Make 2025 Your Best Year Yet,” we give you a framework for reflecting on 2024 and planning for 2025 using Sarah’s free workbook (available here). This isn’t a goal setting practice. It’s a reflective practice to help you identify patterns and focus your energy on the things that will help you build the life you want.
Key Takeaways from the Episode:
Reflection as a Tool for Growth: Understanding past experiences is crucial. By reflecting on the previous year, you can identify what worked, what didn't, and the lessons learned, providing a solid foundation for future planning.
Setting Intentions Over Rigid Goals: Instead of strict goal-setting, the focus is on setting intentions that guide actions throughout the year, allowing for flexibility and personal growth.
The Importance of Self-Awareness: Regular self-check-ins are vital. Awareness precedes change, and by staying attuned to your needs and desires, you can make informed decisions that align with your true self.
Dreaming Big Without Limitations: Allowing yourself to dream big enables unfiltered aspirations, paving the way for setting intentions that truly resonate with your deepest desires.
Establishing Boundaries: Setting clear boundaries is essential for maintaining balance and focus, ensuring that your energy is directed toward what truly matters to you.
Leveraging Community Support: Engaging with a supportive community can enhance personal growth, providing encouragement and accountability as you pursue your intentions.
Celebrating Existing Successes: Recognizing and celebrating what is already working in your life fosters a positive mindset and motivates continued progress.
Identifying Life Cycles Through Reflection: The process of reflection can reveal recurring patterns or cycles in your life, offering insights that inform future choices.
Intentions as Guiding Principles: Viewing intentions as guiding principles rather than strict goals allows for adaptability and personal alignment throughout the year.
Empowerment in Defining Your Path: You have the freedom and power to define your own path, making choices that align with your values and aspirations.
