1. Focus: Define Your Year with a Theme
Rather than setting a long list of resolutions, consider anchoring your year with a single guiding word or theme. This approach provides clarity and a sense of purpose. For 2025, your theme could be something like "Fewer Moves, Bolder Strokes" (inspired by James Clear), emphasizing deliberate, impactful actions over busywork.
To find your theme, reflect on your core values. Start by listing your top 10 values—these might include family, health, creativity, or growth. Narrow the list to five, then to three. Ask yourself how these values currently show up in your life and whether they align with the life you want to live. Your theme should resonate deeply with these core principles.
