Preparing For The New Year - Series Pt. 1
Preparing For The New Year
Hey, new year, new rules! ✨ Preparing for the new year isn’t about changing everything overnight it’s about setting intentions that *feel right* for you. Instead of a list of resolutions, think about what actually makes you feel alive and inspired. Maybe it’s a word that sums up what you want to focus on (like ‘growth’ or ‘joy’) or a vision for how you want to show up every day. Reflect on what worked this past year, release what didn’t, and step into the new year with purpose. You’re setting the vibe for the year ahead so make it yours!

Part 1-Setting Goals
I read , that over 90% of New Year’s resolutions will be abandoned February. Most New Year’s resolutions fail not because the goals themselves are flawed, but because habits haven’t been developed to support them.
“Goals are not a destination, but a journey of behaviors.”
Setting a goal is just the beginning; it’s the daily actions and mindset shifts that turn goals into lasting change. When we focus on building small, consistent habits, we create a foundation that naturally leads us closer to our goals.
For example, instead of setting a resolution to "get fit," committing to a 10-minute daily movement habit is much more sustainable. Over time, these small habits add up and make it easier to stick with resolutions beyond February. The key is to focus less on massive transformation and more on integrating achievable habits that fit into daily life. That’s what makes real progress possible!

Part 2-Choose a word of the year
Let’s talk about choosing a word for the new year because this is one of those simple, powerful ways to set your focus and guide your intentions for the year ahead. Instead of resolutions or a long list of goals, this year I’m picking one word that captures the essence of what I want this year to feel like, look like, and mean for me.
Your word can be anything: “growth,” “courage,” “balance,” “joy.” The idea is to find something that resonates with what you need most right now or what you’re trying to cultivate. This one word is like a north star; when things get busy, it’s there to help you remember what matters.
So, how do you pick the right one? Start by thinking about what felt missing or what you craved this past year. Or maybe it’s something you want to expand on. Take a few moments to write down some ideas, and let them sit with you. You’ll know when you find the one that hits just right. Once you’ve got it, let it be your reminder, your guide, your anchor. Whether it’s in big decisions or everyday choices, let this word be there to pull you back to what you want for yourself in 2025. Because sometimes, it’s the simple thing like a single word that can bring the biggest impact.

Part 3-Advent
Alright, let’s dive into the power of Advent, because this season carries a depth that goes way beyond just a holiday tradition. Advent is an invitation a holy pause that asks us to step back, breathe, and align our hearts with something bigger than ourselves. It’s a season where we get to prepare, not just for Christmas, but for an encounter with hope, peace, joy, and love in their purest forms.
Advent is about expectation, about holding space for what God wants to do in us and through us. Each week as we light those candles, it’s a chance to remember that light is coming into the darkness—reminding us that no matter what season we’re in, there’s hope, there’s renewal, there’s a new beginning just waiting. This isn’t just about counting down; it’s about letting our hearts be softened, open, and ready for what’s to come. It’s powerful because it’s not passive; it’s active. Advent asks us to lean in, to seek, to listen. And as we do, we find that God is already working, already moving, preparing something profound for each of us.
So if you’re honoring Advent, lean into that holy expectation. Let it shape you, fill you, and prepare you. Because what Advent reminds us is that the greatest gifts don’t come wrapped in paper—they come in those quiet, powerful moments where we meet God, and He meets us right where we are.
