Have you already stumbled on them? It’s a common joke—we resolve to “lose weight, get fit, get organized, plan a trip, visit family, and so on—only to fall short. But what if we approached this differently? Instead of “resolutions,” let’s think about “intentions.” Intentions feel more empowering and less rigid. They’re about creating a vision for what you truly want to cultivate in your life. Let me share some of my intentions for 2025. Research shows that sharing your goals makes you more likely to achieve them. One of my intentions this year is to be fully present. This involves less distractions for instance turning my phone on silent mode. Another intention is to connect more deeply with loved ones: We are planning to spend Christmas with family in San Diego. Setting these intentions and following through feels incredibly rewarding. What about you? What do you want to add or subtract in your life this year? Are there boundaries you need to create or reinforce to support your well-being? For example, I’ve learned to set boundaries around work hours by avoiding emails after 6 p.m., which has significantly improved my ability to relax and recharge. Healthy boundaries at work and in your personal life are essential for balance and fulfillment. Here are some tips to help turn your resolutions, intentions, or goals into reality: 1. Write them down. Putting your intentions on paper makes them tangible and helps you commit. 2. Be specific. Vague goals can feel overwhelming. Instead, get clear on the details. 3. Share them with a friend. Accountability can be a powerful motivator. Share your intentions with someone who can cheer you on and keep you on track. 4. Make a plan. Think about what steps are necessary to accomplish your goals. What adjustments can you make to smooth the path? 5. Set a deadline. Deadlines create urgency and help you stay focused. 6. Put it on your calendar. Treat your intentions like appointments—block out time for them and honor that commitment. 7. Stay accountable. Hold yourself accountable by tracking your progress and celebrating small wins along the way. 8. Create space for abundance. Sometimes, achieving your goals requires letting go of something else. Is there anything in your life you need to release to make room for growth and new opportunities? What do you want to make space for in 2025? Take that first step toward your intentions today, and watch how they transform your year. Adele Tusson-Gross, CDMM® Downsizing Tip: Do your ‘things” have power over you? Stuff you don’t use and don’t plan to. For example: I threw away a few Beauty Products collecting dust in my bathroom. I was not likely to ever use them. I reclaimed the space in a drawer for items I do use. Now, I can see everything without stacking. Do you have “stuff” that you would like to get rid of but you have guilt because of what you paid for it or someone gave it to you as a gift? Don’t give it power. You can Throw it Away or Give it Away. Cyber Security Tip: I took a class on Cyber Security in the Daily Money Management Conference in November.
