I'm very excited for what 2018 will bring! Every year, instead of forming a New Year's Resolution, I try to come up with one word to aspire towards. This year is FLOURISH. ✨
If I speed ahead and imagine myself in December 2018/January 2019, here is what I imagine for myself professionally (adapted from an exercise from Chani Nicolas):
At the beginning of 2018, I gave up being passive and being afraid to advocate for myself. As a result, I have so much time and space in my heart and mind to be fully present, authentic, and excited about how to spend my time and creativity. I feel full and fed, grateful and able to give in a way that feels sustainable. This year, I have been able to cultivate a stable, yet creative relationship with my work. I have been able to show up as an expert and leader in my subject matter expertise. My professional life as blossomed into a fulfilling and stable way to live my 40 hours a week. I didn’t know I had the capacity to create space and intention for myself and my needs in my professional life and I am grateful for getting the experience of getting to do so.
Here's to achieving this dream! Happy New Year, everyone!
