I love to make lists, but I don't usually like to make resolutions. Unless they're vague or the kind I know I'll keep, like "moisturize daily" (checked off the list consistently for the last 10 years). It completely makes sense to use the new year as a starting point to something new. However I am reminded by my wise friend J who said that winter is a time to hold steady and to instead make your changes when spring comes--as aligning yourself with the energy of spring will bring you greater success. I love this article and the idea that personal renewal can come at any time of the year.
Nonetheless, I do like to begin the new year dreaming. About possibilities, travels, and new adventures...
So for now, I'd like to put these intentions out into the universe and endeavor to:
1. Visit a new country
2. Create more with my hands
3. Consume less, reuse more
4. Moisturize/use sunscreen daily
How about you?
