Start your new year from a place of abundance! In this episode, Karen encourages you to carry the Christmas spirit of love and gratitude into your goal-setting process. Rather than focusing on lack and what's missing, Karen talks about the importance of setting identity-focused goals while embracing God's blessings and your inherent worth. Discover how shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of gratitude can transform not only your goals but your entire approach to personal growth.

5 Key Takeaways:

1. Set goals from abundance, not lack - Instead of focusing on what you wish was different, recognize the blessings already surrounding you and build your goals from that foundation of gratitude.
2. Celebrate your progress and strengths - Reflect on what you accomplished last year, the lessons you learned, and the growth you experienced rather than dwelling on unmet goals.
3. Practice present-moment gratitude - Use all your senses to notice the blessings around you right now, from electricity to relationships, to shift into an abundant mindset.
4. Remember you've survived challenges before - Looking back at difficult times reminds you of your capability and resilience to overcome future obstacles.
5. Partner with God in your goals - When you put limits on yourself, you're also limiting God. Trust that He will guide you and help you accomplish more than you imagined possible.
