Two Words for ’24

At the start of a new year, many of us make resolutions to get healthier, start exercising, or change our stubborn ways. While we might work toward these resolutions for the first few weeks or months of the year, it’s often hard to continue them the whole year through without feeling the guilt of failure or some other negativity creeping in. Instead of tying yourself down to a conventional resolution, approach the next 365 days from a new angle.

Take some time this week to sit quietly. Reflect on all of the comings and goings of 2023. What did you participate in that you’d like to do more of this year? What would you like to see from a new perspective? Write down two words that you resonate with. Choose words that lift and guide you, such as adventure, creativity, friendship, or follow-through. Use the list below to get started.

self-reflection

adventure

creativity

follow-through

friendship

Spirit

As you embark on this new year and welcome the powerful presence of the Dragon, allow your guiding words to light a spark within you.
