10 Tips for a Strong Year

When you say 'thank you' to anything, you assume it's a gift, and when you assume it's a gift, it is." ~Joy & Matt Kahn

ANCHOR IN STILLNESS. Begin each morning with 5 minutes of mindful breathing to center your energy for the day ahead.

SET INSPIRED GOALS. Choose goals that spark joy and align with your authentic self, not just societal expectations.

STAY ROOTED IN GRATITUDE. Start a daily gratitude journal, focusing on small yet meaningful moments of joy.

HONOR REST. Build sacred moments of rest into your schedule to recharge and sustain your creative flow.

CREATE WITH INTENTION. Dedicate time weekly to a creative project that aligns with your personal values and passions.

EMBRACE PLAYFULNESS. Allow yourself time to explore and experiment without judgment, cultivating curiosity and fun.

RECONNECT WITH NATURE. Spend time outdoors regularly to draw inspiration from the cycles and stillness of the natural world.

MOVE WITH PRESENCE. Incorporate slow, intentional movement (yoga, tai chi, or stretching) to stay grounded in your body.

CURATE INSPIRATION. Surround yourself with uplifting friends, books, music, or art that fuels your creativity and motivation.

VISUALIZE YOUR YEAR.

Create a vision board or mental picture of your ideal year to guide your focus and energy.
