Have you ever noticed what happens as soon as the clock hits midnight on Christmas Day? Everyone stops talking about the magic of the holidays and gets right into stressing about the new year. 

Instead of pressuring yourself to set resolutions, set rituals. The ritual I’m proposing helps you focus on your positive intentions and the purpose of those intentions. Unlike a resolution, which is full of rigidity and obligation, the result of this ritual leads to informed actions.  The questions to ask yourself are:

1. What do I want to start doing this year? 
2. What do I want to stop doing this year? 
3. What do I want to focus on in 2023? 

By "start doing" I mean — what goals do you have in mind for 2023? How do you need to reach those goals? What things have you put off doing because they seem hard or scary?  What bucket list items do you want to check off? What do you feel the need to start?

In a chaotic, noisy world, stillness and pause can be transformative. 

Many of us go about our day without taking a single break or moment to pause. We wear the title “busy” as a badge of honor and run ourselves into the ground as we search for our “next thing.” 

This lifestyle, however, is not sustainable. I learned that the hard way. I was constantly sprinting to the “next thing” until I hit a brick wall. That brick wall was the first time that I got knocked on my tail- it forced me to stop. It forced me to pause. 

Until the brick wall,  I truly believed power only came from doing. But once I was forced to pause, I discovered power came from pause.
