“What are your New Year’s resolutions?”
This is the question my daughter asked me on New Year’s Eve.
The idea of making New Year’s resolutions is so ubiquitous in popular culture that even children can’t escape it!
There’s something about the ending of one year and the beginning of another that seems to naturally invite us to make changes. And while I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions, I am a strong proponent of reflecting and taking stock as one year draws to a close and another begins to unfold — and of setting the right tone for the year ahead.
January at This Life is Good marks the beginning of our Winter season.
We see Winter as a quieter, inward-facing time that invites us to pause before we push forward; To listen before we decide; To notice before we name what’s next.
That’s why we devote much of what we do during the Winter season to the first three paths of The Thrivers’ Way:
- Intention (and Reflection)
- Commitment, Consistency, and Community
- Rejuvenation
Our Winter season begins with IntentionHaus™, a year-in-review, reflection, and intention-setting retreat we host at the beginning of each year. This year, I’m bringing it online — as a free, live, virtual, year-in-review and intention-setting retreat designed to help you pause, reflect, and step into the year with clarity and intention.
IntentionHaus™ 2026: A Virtual New Year Reset will be a space to pause and reflect on the year that’s just ended (2025), set the tone for the year ahead (2026), and kickstart the new year with renewed intentions for living a good life and thriving in 2026.
Devoting time to this kind of reflection isn’t about making New Year’s resolutions, setting goals, or creating productivity plans.
It’s about awareness.
About paying attention.
About making space for what wants to emerge.
It’s about creating the space to explore:
- What inspired you last year?
- What has truly nourished you this past year — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually?
- What are you most grateful for?
- What do you want to leave behind?
- Where do you feel called to bring a little more intention as you step into 2026?
That’s exactly the work we’ll be doing together at IntentionHaus™ 2026: A Virtual New Year Reset — a gentle New Year retreat designed to help you reflect on the year behind you, clarify what matters most, and step into the year ahead with intention and alignment.
If that speaks to you, registration is now open, and you’re warmly invited to join us.
May this week be an invitation to begin to reflect on all that has been — and to bring awareness to what needs more intention, attention, and care in 2026.
Till next time,
Be well ❤️
