While I do not believe in new year resolutions - embracing the arrival of the new year provides an ideal opportunity to ponder the previous year, acknowledging the positives that have played a fundamental role in shaping my life for the better. Practicing reflection and aspirations at different times during the year is a habit of mine because it is through self-exploration and commitment amidst challenges, I can continue to discover resilience and strength. My reflections from 2023 are:
Daily/weekly mantras – reinforcing my goals and making goals a reality
Being mindful of my relationships – how to better meet people where they are
Creating new opportunities for growth in business
Talking to a mentor or peer monthly for reflection and guidance
Five new tea flavors and 10 new greeting card designs
Daily yoga with a minimum 4 restorative yoga classes per week
Continued learning – 4 new courses
Adventures to new places – Belize, England and upper WA state
Giving back to my community - food, gifts, resources, time
I am always looking forward to continued growth and opportunities in and adding to my list - setting my sights with renewed determination, forging ahead with aspirations that light the path toward personal and collective growth. By writing in my journal or being mindful I can jot down my thoughts and dreams to better make them a reality. Here are a few things I am most looking forward to in the year ahead:
Continued learning – already started!
Offering 2-4 free yoga and meditation classes each month to help others find their center and vision for good health
Speaking for communities and organizations around population health initiatives
Helping my coaching clients realize their fullest potential to start living the best life
Grow my parent’s scholarship by securing grants and continued fundraising
The Mile For Every Year 2024 Retreat in Japan, Thailand or Portugal
Continue to follow my passion for new tea and sharing new flavors with all of you
Donate homemade meals and desserts to my local family food center
Whatever your journey, may the coming year be a canvas to paint your dreams, a journey where you strive for your goals and cherish the lessons along the way. I look forward to sharing the journey together - cheers to the new year! ~Candice
