Happy New Year, friend!
Tonight, while everyone else is making resolutions, I want to give you something better…permission.
That’s right. Permission.
Yep, you heard me right. That’s all you’re going to need to set your 2025 intentions in motion.
You know, those well-intentioned promises we make to ourselves every December 31st, usually involving some version of “do more” or “be better“?
What if this year, we tried something different?
Instead of adding to your already full plate and daily chaos, what if we started with an appreciation for who you already are?
Think about it:
→You’ve navigated another year of life’s beautiful chaos.
→You’ve shown up for the people who matter most.
→You’ve handled challenges that would have seemed impossible a few years ago.
That deserves recognition before we even think about what’s next.
“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been” – Rainer Maria Rilke
The Permission You Need Right Now
Before we dive into 2025, I want to give you permission to:
- Release the pressure to completely reinvent yourself
- Acknowledge and Celebrate how far you’ve already come
- Trust that you already have wisdom worth listening to
A Different Kind of New Year Question
Instead of “What do I need to fix?” try asking: “What already works in my life that I want to nurture and show love to?“

This simple shift changes everything. It moves us from fixing to flourishing, from forcing to flowing.
I don’t know about you, but I could use a little more flow in my life. In fact, that’s one thing I’m adding focus to…flow (doesn’t it sound simply beautiful?)
I’ve got a gift just for you↓
Your Gentle New Year Framework
Celebrate What Is
Take a moment to acknowledge your victories – big and small. That difficult conversation you finally had? Victory. The boundaries you started setting? Huge win. The moments you chose yourself? They all count.
Listen to Your Inner Wisdom
Your inner knowing has been trying to tell you something. Maybe it’s whispering about:
- The relationships that need more presence
- The quiet moments your soul is craving
- The dreams you’ve kept on hold
Choose Your Word
Instead of a resolution, choose one word to guide your year. Not a demanding word, but one that feels like a gentle invitation. Maybe it’s “ease” or “trust” or “flow.” (you already know what one of mine is…flow)
Your Simple Next Step
Before you open your calendar or make any plans, give yourself the gift of a quiet moment. Just 15 minutes with a cup of your favorite beverage (or glass of wine) and this question:
“What would feel like a breath of fresh air in my life right now?”
Write down whatever comes up. The key is to write it down without judgment! (no one else will see it, just write it down)
This is your first step into a year of gentle intention.
Remember: The magic isn’t in massive overhaul – it’s in mindful moments of choosing what truly matters to you.
Here’s to a year of being more you, not a new you.
Sending you so much love and cheers to YOU!
XOXO, Tonya
