Set New Year Intentions for 2024 & What to Leave Behind in 2023 (186)

It’s time to ditch the New Year’s resolutions and instead approach 2024 with a strategic vision for success. This is one of my favorite times of year simply because I get excited about moving my life, my capacity for joy and abundance, and my own personal journey forward with a fresh starting line!

Year after year, I focus my intentions on a small handful of things I want to experience in the coming year rather than trying to boil the ocean and then feeling like a failure when I don’t.

There’s a better way.

In this episode, you will learn about my annual personal growth strategies that involve a bougie annual visioning retreat. (Of course.) This carefully curated time includes determining five things to add in 2024 for a successful year and five things to leave behind in 2023 to make room for all the good that could take up that space in my life.

Through this process, you will naturally find the most important things to add to your vision board, will have the structure to create your personal goals and career goals for 2024, and how to create positive habits for success to turn your dreams into reality and plan your best year yet!

Here’s the recap of the 2024 visioning process, but be sure to tune in to find out the juicy details as I pull back the curtain to reveal my life and vision, as well as guide you on why each of these components is important to your future success.

Five Things to Leave Behind in 2023

#1. Leave behind at least one person who takes energy and doesn’t give energy to you.

#2. Leave behind at least one activity that moves you away from your goals.

#3. Leave behind at least one belief that has no evidence to support it.

#4. Leave behind at least one habit that keeps you from being your best.

 #5. Leave behind at least one tool or expense you don’t use or need.

Leaving these five things behind will open up space for the people and opportunities that align with your values, needs, and life’s goals.

Five Things to Establish for a Successful 2024

Next, we cover the five things to establish for a prosperous new year. If you decide on these things, it will give you inspiration and practical direction to tackle your new year in a way that supports who you want to become and what you want to accomplish. 

#1. Pick your word of the year.

#2. Pick your mantra for the year.

#3. Pick your song of the year.

#4. Create a vision board.

#5. Create goals.

Strategic Success, Even When Things Don’t Go as Planned

Yes! This process works. My years don’t always go exactly as planned, but I always end up grateful for the continuous forward progress afforded to me year after year because I was intentional. Of course, I wish you the same success!

Happy New Year!
