In the community, we have been exploring intentions and what it means to hold intentions that truly last, that hold the longevity to support inward and outward change. 

For many of us, the sense of a new year, a new chapter, a new journey around the Sun is about to begin. 

This energy often revolves around resolutions, intentions, goals, our intended achievements for the year ahead. This time can breed excitement, but also pressure and at times overwhelm. 

With so many goals outlined ahead, where do we begin? 

But what if instead of asking "What do I want to achieve?”

We ask "Who do I want to be?”

Truly, deeply, at my core.

Who do I want to be? How do I want to move through life?
How do I want to show up?

Who is it, within me, that I will choose for life to flow from and mirror back to me?

If our attention is less on the outcome, the external we are striving toward and more toward who we are, the focus is clearer and creates the foundation for everything else to follow. 

So maybe, this year, for those it resonates with. The intentions, the goals and resolutions can be gently placed to the side, while we place a focal point on who we are from inside. 

No longer focusing on doing more, but on ‘being differently’ from before.

Stepping into the unexplored parts of ourselves that within our hearts we seek to embody. 

Our goals create a map, a list of places to visit - but identity is the steady compass and direction forward. One that is not based on outcomes but on our approach to life. 

When focus is shifted towards our identity, who we are being, who we are becoming - the actions naturally follow. 

Multiple possible futures exist right now and we get to choose which version of ourselves we are stepping toward.

And the version of ourselves that we want to be already knows what to do - we just have to choose to embody them. 

If the version of you in your heart that you want to embody for this new chapter could be described in one word, what would it be?

This word will become and serve as your compass for the year. 

For each day. For each moment. For each choice.

For both the steady and uncertain step forward. 

With this, the journey becomes much simpler. 

All we need to consider is, does this choice align with who I'm choosing to be? 

A gentle reflection on this and clarity on your next decision will fall into place. 

You are not creating someone new - you are allowing the version of yourself that already exists within you to lead forward. 

Will it be easy?

Yes, because this version of yourself is already inside of you.  

But it will challenge you, as old patterns guide you back towards what felt safe and familiar. 

The only focus required, is a small consideration of the consistent choices that compound overtime in alignment with this version of you and who you are becoming. 

You may find that your word changes many times this year and this okay. 

Life is always in motion and so it is greatly expected that we will be too. 

Allow this practice and your becoming to unfold as it needs too, there will be learnings that unfold at every turn. 

So if you feel called… an honest reflection with yourself now. 

What one word will anchor who you are becoming?

What one word will anchor the part of you that is stepping forward?

Sounds, words and inspiration to nourish what's unfolding within.
