typical new year stuff. open anyway
|
How are you doing Reader We are 2.5% of the way through 2025, how are you feeling about it so far? I love the new year because it feels like an opportunity to reset some things. In some ways nothing has changed of course, the news cycle will make sure we know that. But things feel different. Research does show that we are more likely to make change stick when we start at key points in the year (the new year and the start of spring being the best). Psychologists call it something fancy, but predictably, I can't remember the term. Let's just call it frontal cortex date-induced change aptitude. Sounds catchy, right?! Anyway, it means that it's a good time to review and reflect and set some intentions for the year ahead. What do you want to leave behind in 2024? What do you want to bring with you into 2025? Me? I'm leaving behind self-doubt. Whatttt. Yep, you heard me. Well, I'm leaving behind letting self-doubt hold me back anyway. I've made a list of all the things I've avoided doing in the last few years that I really want to do, and I'm working my way through it, one tiny scary thing at a time. To support me in this I've invested in some somatic coaching, and I'm leaning into the Design Your Year community in a big way to help hold me to account. One of those things I've been avoiding that I want to do in 2025? Writing & teaching. While doing my favourite guided visualisation for 2025 my future self handed me the first draft of the book I'd written full of stickies and annotations, which had come from a course that I'd run (it was wild!). I'm not jumping straight into a book, but I have put in the diary some deadlines to publish a blog every month, and run a course on overcoming self-doubt, overwhelm and procrastination. What shall I call the course Reader? Eek! Feeling excited. Please hit reply and tell me what are you leaving behind in 2024 and what do you want to see more of for 2025? You've got this 💃🏼💪 So much love, ~ Rosie Farrer P.S. Don't forget, if you want a little help figuring 2025 out, and me guiding you through the awesome visualisation I mention above, you can come join me this Sunday for Design Your Year. If you can't make it live, I'll send you the recording, and we are meeting at the end of the month for a community call. |

Hey Reader. Holy guacamole, it's December my friend and according to a quick calculation I just did there are 26 days left in 2025. People keep asking me if I'm running Design Your Year again. The answer to this is a big fat YES! This intention setting to the community is the backbone to my year, and I know it's the same for many of you. So, just to reassure that the reason I haven't sent you any comms about it is not because it's not happening. But because I've been spending way too long on...
Hey Reader. Wow, the last few months have been a lot for me. Last night I gathered with my lovely intention setting community and there was a whole lot going on for people, so I’m guessing you might feel the same. I’ve been taking some time out to rest and process after a huge life change (more on this at some future point). But then I realised I haven't been in touch for ages. When I don't email this Wild & Free community for a long time it can turn into this really big thing. I feel like my...
Heyooo Reader, This week's email is about what happens when you learn to better manage your inner critic. This time last week, I was on the way to host the networking event I run once a month for women in business. It was fabulous, full of uplifting, supportive, awesome connections - as it always is. But, that's not what this email is about. Picture this: I'm standing there, on the very busy overground train, drinking my tea and reading my book, surrounded by humans. The train stops, and more...
