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 ππΌπͺ 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. β β |

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...
Hey friend, In my job I spend a lot of time connecting with people, but often through a screen. I'm sure it's the same for many of you These days I find that when I'm called to show up in person I often don't look forward to it. The voices that go through my brain tell me things like: "it's a lot of time wasted traveling" "think of all the tasks you could tick off your to do list" (things like writing this newsletter at 10am when I normally do rather than at 6.22pm before I sign off from the...
Hey friend, It's sunny in the UK. That's all anyone has been talking about this week. That and absolute s*it show going on in global politics. How? Why? Can we turn it all off and back on again? How do you get some space from it all Reader? Mine is definitely through movement in nature. Today (I'm doing my work from the trail, including writing this email to youuuuu. Team photo. I cannot get Pingu to stay still π And by work...I mean the big picture stuff. One of my things this year is to do...
