65 - New Year Reflections: Embracing Growth, Love, and Fresh Intentions

When you reflect on 2024, what lessons did this year hold for you? As we get closer to closing the chapter on 2024, Elizabeth Mintun shares in this episode her personal reflections of this year. She explores a strengths and resilience-based approach to mindful, sustainable intention-setting as an alternative to new year’s resolutions. She also shares a creative reflection exercise she tried with her mentor to spark some energy, joy, and clarity around the new year. Give it a try and see what comes alive for you! Key Takeaways: Setting intentions can offer a guiding principle that can be more sustainable over time than a punitive and shame-based goal or resolution. We can learn from our resistance to moving forward with our intentions and/or goals.Journaling can be a helpful way to set aside time for reflection and notice what emerges. ResourcesFree Journal Reflection Prompts: https://www.thecalmingground.com/reflection-prompts-selfcareFree Guided Meditation: https://www.thecalmingground.com/free-guided-meditationEpisode 63: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/63-why-were-hard-on-ourselves-and-how-to-break-the-cycle/id1704337948?i=1000679166535Contact Elizabeth here: [email protected] You Ease and JoyThank you for joining me on this reflective journey.
