January 2020 Goals And Intentions

Dreaming about my year

Each January, I take a few weeks to migrate the content of my previous year’s Bullet Journal to the new one. If you’re not familiar with Bullet Journaling, it’s an analog system to organize things in your life. This video is a great overview.

As part of the process, I decide on a word of the year and try to envision my intentions for the year. To be honest, I haven’t set up my goals and intentions page but I know my word. It’s Abundance.

Word of the year

I am cultivating an abundant mindset to consistently take action toward what I want. If I believe there’s enough for me, I will consistently show up to claim it. I am also channeling that mindset for when I don’t get exactly what I want. I know that many times what I have is enough. I want to focus on abundance in 2020 to attract the right opportunities, people, clients, projects, speaking engagements, creativity and communities for my personal and business life.

Each work day, I have used my journal as a place for a creative exercise. I set up a spread or migrate information from my 2019 journal. It’s been a great way to start my day with intention and do some warm up work for my brain before jumping right into doing client work.

I’ve got some behind the scenes photos of my journal setup so far later down in this email.

January is also a good time for a personal reset so I’m doing my third Dry January, which is also part of a Whole30. Despite what people may say about this reset nutrition plan, I always feel amazing afterwards and I’m looking forward to the energy boost and clarity coming up in the next few days.
