2021 New Year Resolutions

The last few years we’ve been publicly setting a focus word and intention for the year ahead. We’ve noticed it truly helped our mindset and inspired our actions throughout the year. A focus keyword is a constant reminder of your overarching goal you set for yourself. If you make one for yourself, write it big or get a sign made with your word on it so that you can always look up from your desk or other working space and keep your biggest priority top of mind every day.

Take some time with your intention and try to understand why you’re doing what you do in the first place. Where do you see yourself going? What word feels inline with that vision? What have you kept telling yourself over and over towards the end of the previous year?

2020 took a toll on so many of us. It’s time to find your center and see where you fit into the chaos and how you can protect yourself from it or passionately involve yourself in it. Last year was the Year of the Emperor and 2021 is the Year of the Hierophant. The Emperor taught us a lot of hard lessons. The Hierophant wants us to digest those lessons and build a sturdier foundation. Try new things and take risks to set yourself up for the ‘right path’. Really dive into stabilizing your dreams.

Our word of 2021 is Sustainable. We’re aiming to take the tools we’ve gained from 2020 and use them to our advantage. Fine tuning until we feel we’re ready to dive into the next thing. We don’t know what our world is going to be like in a few months. But we do know we’re going to want to continue to learn, grow, and adapt personally and professionally.

We’ve all got this. <3
