We’ve completed our first week of 2025. Did you make resolutions? How are they working for you?

I spent New Year’s with my best friend in Mississippi and I thought about this on the drive home. Every year we set  make or break goals under the guise of resolutions. Most people break every single one of them by Valentine’s Day. I know I am an utter failure at that concept! I have decided for 2025 instead to make intentions.

What is the difference between a resolution and an intention? According to psychologist and author, Diana Raab, an intention is a guide post in a journey as opposed to the make or break goal that defines resolution. It is the beginning of a dream and a declaration of manifestation. Intentions give us a focus point, a touchstone to keep going back to in our journey toward being better every day.

 I am about to hold myself accountable to all of you. Here are my intentions for 2025:

~ I intend to write daily. Whether it is journaling, blogging, or songwriting, the daily practice is both spiritual and practical,  soothing my soul and keeping my  brain active and alive.

~ I intend to be a little bit more active each and every day. Too many of the things that I enjoy involve sitting down and I have realized the past couple of years my ass is on the couch far more than my feet are on the ground moving so this changes as of now.

~ Lastly, this is my most important intention… I intend to be  even more of a Fuck Yeah person than I always have been. I have more years behind me than I have in front of me and I intend to make the most of each moment of life for as long as I can.

What do you think of this change in perspective? Is it something that resonates with you also? Tell me what you think in the comments below.
