Dreaming, setting intentions, and keeping yourself accountable are not easy in the world we currently live in. Our society has built systems that erode the individual and collective spaces that hold these generative processes. This is a powerful time of year to begin to reclaim the space of pausing in the darkness to be with yourself, dream new possibilities, and lay the foundation for what you want to create in the world.
In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I share insights and tips on the power of dreaming, setting intentions, and keeping yourself accountable as we head into a new year.
Some of what I explore in this episode includes:
- Embracing end of year energy (darkness
- The importance of pausing and why it’s hard
- Understanding intentions and creating accountability
- You don’t have to be perfect, just present
