Setting Intentions for the Year Ahead

from UNTRAINED · host Iris Zimmermann and Whitney Otto

In this episode of Untrained, we explore our approach to the hot topic of "New Year's Resolutions”. How can we side-step the goal-setting frenzy that surrounds us and create a more sustainable, aligned, and ultimately more successful path towards what we want for ourselves? How can we move forward with resources other than our own grit and drive? Join us as we share our perspectives, coach one another on this topic, and offer tools for the intention setting process.Links and Helpful Resources:Prompts and Questions you can use to explore the year ahead and reflect on the past year: Credit Sharon Salzberg https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2Da78vW-g/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=Wheel of Life https://wheeloflife.noomii.com/Credit Sarah Jenks: https://sarahjenks.com/sacred-planning-ritual-for-the-new-year/Bullet Points from Iris:Center your focus on a word or two for the next few months.Create a mantra, i.e. “Doing Dope Things with Dope People”Check in on your buckets: Family, Community (this can be friends or impact around you), Health, Personal, Professional.How much time are you spending on each?
