Episode Notes

Many of us have a picture of the kind of person we want to be but struggle to know how to get there. Living the life we want takes intentionality. A new year provides a natural beginning to set goals, kick poor habits, and pursue passions. It can feel overwhelming and therefore seem easier to quit two weeks in. As we step into 2025 and look to the year ahead, we want to help you put your best foot forward. Instead of new year resolutions, try new rhythms.

In this week’s episode we get practical in providing resources designed to help you live a more intentional life. We breakdown two resources: a Growth Plan and an Ideal Week. We share how these tools have helped us not just reach goals but implement sustainable rhythms. Here are the steps to develop a Growth Plan:

1. Identify the Buckets in Your Life
   • Ex: finances, spiritual health, friendships, work, school, etc.
2. Write Your Current Reality
   • What does your life look like in this area today?
3. Identify your 2-3 Focus Areas for This Season
   • You can't make big strides in every area. Determine which areas will be your priority.
4. Write Your Envisioned Future
   • Who do you want to be in this area 3 months from now?
5. Create Goals and Establish Rhythms
   • Choose 3 priority areas and set goals/rhythms to incorporate this quarter.
6. Bring People In
   • Identify one person in each area to hold you accountable. Share your goal/rhythm with them.
7. Schedule your priorities
   • Create an Ideal week calendar that includes your rhythms, etc.
