Why start your year focusing on problems needing solutions, when you could be embracing a mindset of growth and positivity?

Instead of setting New Year's resolutions, I invite you to go into a more transformative approach on the first day of the year. It's about shifting from 'doing' to 'being'. 

By setting a word of the year, we can break the cycle of forgotten resolutions and start a journey towards true fulfillment and self-discovery.

Tune in now for an episode that could change the way you view the new year. Embrace the power in the pause, and let's make this year one of intentional growth and remarkable achievements.

Join us in this inspiring discussion: Ditch New Year's Resolutions & Do This Instead

✔️ Reject the notion of New Year's Resolutions. These imply there's a problem needing a fix, starting the year on a negative note. Instead, focus on a positive mindset. Resolutions have a low success rate, with only 9% of people keeping them and 64% quitting within the first month.

✔️ Embrace the concept of "being" rather than "doing." In my 7+ years of entrepreneurship experience, I've learned that success is more about who you are than the tasks you accomplish. Select a personal word for the year (e.g., 'faith') and embody this in all aspects of life – relationships, finances, health, and personal development.

✔️ Create a vision based on your chosen word. Envision yourself embodying this word in various life areas, like financial goals, relationships, and personal wellness. Detail this vision vividly, imagining where you are, who you're with, and how it feels.

✔️ Develop actionable steps from your vision. Identify the gaps between your current state and where you want to be. The transition from being to doing, creating actions that align with your vision and word of the year. This helps bridge the distance between intention and reality.

✔️ Set intentions around your goals, focusing on the feelings and states you wish to achieve. This approach can increase your chances of being among the small percentage who successfully achieve their resolutions or goals.

The Extra In The Ordinary Erica Boerman Here we celebrate the little "extras" in our ordinary lives. And really, nothing about living out our lives under the authority of the Word of God and in the power of the Spirit is ordinary. It is extraordinary. However, sometimes amidst the diapers, FAFSA applications, driving lessons, tadpole catching, laundry, and general every day life, we don't pause to see the little extra something. It's the twinkle in your kid's eye as he shows you what he made in art that week. It's the silent tear that you barely catch a glimpse of when she walks through the door. It's the never-ending bedtime questions that might be a stall tactic - or it just might be the moment he knows he has your undivided attention for the first time that day. That's the extra. That's what makes the ordinary stand at attention. It's what makes us say, "Thank you, Lord, I almost missed this." Backseat Diaries Mohamed Brahimi To say that I have an extravagant taste in storytelling would be stating the obvious. I love listening to stories, and I equally love telling them. I tried demystifying my extreme infatuation with storytelling by looking into what Neuroscience may have to say about it. All I was able to dig out was a bunch of esoteric explanations about the release of hormones like vasopressin, oxytocin, dopamine, etc... A story teller is able to induce a myriad of feelings into his/her audience. A storyteller is able to pause your frontal cortex's cognitive functions. That's the power of story tellers The Forgotten Rules of Prayer K.C. Hairston At a little church in a small town called Mulga, Alabama, the power of prayer is revealed as the church's pastor (Reverend Hicks) uses stories from his life and the small town to paint a clear picture of the workings of God. The basis on which God chooses to answer our prayers is a question that man simply cannot answer. However, by searching through the Bible and uncovering God's instructions for prayer, we can maximize the likelihood that our prayers will be answered in the future. The exact manner in which prayer works is a secret, and that secret has not yet been revealed to us on earth. According to Deuteronomy 29:29, "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law." In light of Deuteronomy 29:29, Reverend Hicks uses the Forgotten Rules of Prayer book, which combines all of the cherished "revealed" rules on prayer and presents them in a format that can be passed down, as wa The Week The Week I saw you doin Powder in the Powder roomYou said no babe its jus Ruby WooIts cool do u no judge indulge youre fine, a single bump, fuck that lets do some lines!Hooker:Ooh oh me oh my, My you're so Lovely,Youre so,fukin cuteYou make you high, high like the bubbleeFeels so fukin good!Verse2:You could've told me from the very startThat You were a Lady after my very heart Cuz if you like drugs, i got enough share.
