2024 didn’t go as visioned 👀 (here’s how I’m approaching 2025 instead✨)

Read this article here.On New Year’s Eve Collin got the kids out of the house and gave me some space for a little self-led retreat.Things did not go as planned… With 2024 I mean. Looking back on my 2024 vision board and monthly activities I realized: I had forgotten where I started…. which also explains where I am now.I believed things and tried things and it made me realize what I wanted more of and less of. So in each moment I kept taking the next aligned action. Actually making choices that felt good to my soul (instead of by the shoulds.)Which also left me a little whiplashed by years end… because of the stark contrast between how 2024 started and where I am now. Now I stand at a place of softening. Wanting freedom and space and to relieve pressure in my life (both financially and from what people need from me.)So looking at how I thought 2024 would go and how it did go- honestly makes me chuckle.🤣 Why did I ever think I could’ve guessed where I’d end up…This is a societal framework I’m ready to let go of. The reverse-engineering. Which innately makes me think “when this happens then that will happen.”If life is meant for living then why am I spending my time reverse engineering my way to work it so that I can then live?All I can do is give myself freedom and space so that I can actually make the next aligned choice in that moment. Not the choice I have to make or should make because of my circumstances.At the end of the day, for me, it’s less about the big visioning and more about the intentional everyday choices. That’s how I’m creating my life my way.And that’s why I’m swapping visioning for alignment in 2025✨I hope that sharing my process shows you a different way. That it invites you to listen to your soul’s cravings and choose the next action that feels aligned TO YOU!🗓️ P.S.
