Concept and Meaning
We’re all in a time of transition. The new year inspires new goals and resolutions, yet at the same time, it may also introduce new challenges for each and every one of us. To stay focused on your vision, find some words — or a mantra — to keep you grounded in who you are and to remind yourself of who you aspire to become this year.
Inspiration Questions
Mantra — What is your new year mantra? What is a word or phrase or theme that you want to focus on? What does your mantra mean to you? Explore your past and present to share what you envision for your near future.
Meditation — Is the new year already happening too fast? Still need more time to process the last five years? That’s okay too! What is a word that helps you tie together your past experience or navigate your thoughts? What are you willing to let go of or hold onto? What is a mantra you will meditate on as you find your pace this year?
Goal Getter — What is a goal that you are determined to achieve this year? Is it a new goal or something that has been coming to fruition over time? Why do you feel like this is the year for everything to come together? What are some repeated habits or mantras that will help you achieve this goal?
