• A cup of tea
• A quiet space

Body, Home, Mind, and Soul. 

Let’s break each down.

Body

Consider your physical well-being, how you feel, your health, and overall vitality. Contemplate how you want to feel and the capabilities you aspire to possess. Envision these goals from the heart rather than through the expectations of society or others' ideals.

Home

The area of “home” is any living spaces or home improvement projects. This pillar is also about the people within and around it. This includes your family, partners, children, pets, friends, and your community.

Mind

This encompasses your professional endeavors, significant projects or creations, and all intellectual aspects of your life.

Soul

This pillar encompasses all aspects of spirituality, including spiritual practices, self-care routines, therapeutic activities, and any other healing endeavors. 

 it's important to reflect on the year we're leaving behind…

For each of the 4 areas write a high and a low you experienced this year.

Remember to take a moment to reflect deeply. 

Write down your boldest visions without hesitation. 

Allow yourself to dream big and have fun. 

Ignore expectations, "shoulds," or perceived priorities. 

Follow your heart and explore freely.

“My intention for the new year is...”

“In the new year I will...”

“My dream life looks like...”

Body, Home, Mind, and Soul.

For each, define 3 clear goals or dreams that you'd like to accomplish this year and an action step to get there.

Follow up prompts:

What do you need in order to feel supported in accomplishing these goals and dreams?

What is the internal experience you believe reaching these goals and dreams will insight within you? Spend some time meditating on that feeling.

Your Word for the Year

One of our favourite parts of this new year ritual is choosing a word that encapsulates our intention, specific goals, and everything we've processed throughout this practice. It works as a simple reminder throughout the year to bring us back to our intentions.
