Choosing a yearly theme is a great way to guide your brain in a new direction. Unlike specific goals, themes are there as a guiding principal. A theme is broad and is often something that will cross several areas of your life. Themes are also more flexible in nature because they are here to increase your awareness, there is no specific end target. If you're not a fan of goal setting consider trying a yearly theme. If you do like goal setting a yearly theme can help you reach those goals.
