Ep. 23: Resolution

Happy New Year, everyone! 🌻 

I hope you’ve all had a super relaxing and recharging holiday 🙂 

I was uber fortunate to head back home-home to Northern California where I got to spend time with my older brother, younger sister, baby niece(s), and Bro/Sis in-laws for the holidays. We’re all about the same age (less my nieces, of course) so we have a blast together! I’m very grateful for our relationship.

Notably, I got to take my little nephew, Max, out for a bro-date, where we snacked on our favorite food, sushi, and chatted about all things fish, the sea, and how we hate waiting in long lines. These little sorts of experiences help to slow me down and appreciate the present moment. In the end, it’s these memories that we leave with, so in 2024, I’m going to be extra intentional about making them wherever I can!

I wanted to start the new year by sharing 5 of my favorite journaling prompts. Journaling, or even having these discussions with a friend or loved one, has been shown to markedly increase one’s sense of gratitude and belonging, major factors to good (mental) health.

Without delay, here they are, along with the article I found them in if you’d like more!

1. Reflect on the most significant lessons you learned in 2023, and how those lessons have shaped your growth.

2. Consider the goals you achieved last year, how did you celebrate those accomplishments?

3. What would you like to continue doing in 2024? What would you like to stop doing in 2024?

4. What are your top 5 values you wish to uphold this year?

5. At the end of 2025, who do you want to feel, what do you want to have accomplished? Can you see yourself in that state?

That’s all this week! I hope everyone is having a stellar start to 2024 🌻 

I’ll see you all next week! ❄️
