Whether you love partying until the New Years' ball drops or turning in before midnight…

Whether you swear by New Years' resolutions or roll your eyes at them…

It's hard to fully avoid getting caught up in the energy of a new year (and in this case, a new decade!). I don't know about you, but I can't help feeling inspired to reflect on my life, dream about the future, and commit to making changes.

I think it's important to have built-in rhythms throughout the year that remind us to pause, reflect, and — if necessary — course-correct.

So while I'm personally not crazy about new year's resolutions (let's be honest — they're usually abandoned by February anyway), I do appreciate anything that reminds us to be a bit more intentional.

That said, if you find yourself dreaming, visualizing, and intention-setting around this time of year, I applaud you!

And … I also want to challenge you to dig a bit deeper this year, to get to the heart of why you want the things you want. Because the "why" behind your goals will determine whether or not you actually achieve them … and more importantly, whether achieving them will ultimately make you happy.

Consider the changes you want to make in your life in 2020. Do you want to get a new job? Or go back to school? Or move to a new city? Or create your own business? Or start a new exercise regimen?

Then, look out for the following 4 potential red flags to make sure you're not pursuing the wrong dream for the wrong reasons.

Once you've listened, come over to the blog and leave me a comment to share how this resonated with you and what some of your goals for 2020 are.
