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,

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.
