10 Realistic New Year Intentions to Inspire a Positive 2025
The start of a new year feels like a blank page—a chance to set the tone for the months ahead. Instead of framing goals as strict resolutions, why not think of them as intentions? Here’s how that mindset shift can make all the difference:
-
Resolution: I will exercise every morning.
-
Intention: I will prioritize daily movement in ways that work for me.
-
Resolution: I will write in a gratitude journal every day.
-
Intention: I will cultivate a more grateful attitude in my daily life.
