Now that we are in the beginning of 2021, everyone seems to be projecting their intentions for the New Year. They are envisioning what want their lives to be like in 2021, how it will be different than the last year, and how it will be better. This is the time when people start making their New Year’s resolutions.
I was reading that almost 50% of adults in the U.S. make New Year's resolutions, but less than 10% of those people actually keep them for more than a just few months!
That’s pretty astonishing. But when you think about it, it's not all that surprising. It's really easy to make a resolution, to simply decide that next year is going to be better. We've all said, “I’m going to start *insert your resolution here*" at one point or another. But did we actually follow through?
It’s easy to decide, to dream, to put the idea out there, project good intentions in to the universe, if you will. But just setting the intention doesn’t make it happen. Saying that 2021 will be better won’t make it any better.
But to take actionable steps to fulfill your resolution is a whole different thing. That’s the part I think most people are missing. You’ve made this intention, but have you made a plan, a schedule even, to actualize it?
If your intention for next year is to “be more mindful” have you actually scheduled time to mediate every morning? Are you willing to wake up an hour early everyday to get your "you time" in? If your New Years goal is to define healthy boundaries, how are you going to hold yourself accountable to stick to them? Have you come up with your response the next time someone tries to overstep those boundaries?
It is in the action that we actually live out our resolutions. The intention has to be there, of course. But intentions, goals, and dreams mean nothing until you take actionable steps to get there.
What it all boils down to is balancing this feminine dreaming state with the action of the masculine. They are equally important but both energies are needed to balance each other out. If you’re all action without any mindfulness, intention, or sensing feeling, then you’ll be on a quick road to burnout my friend. If you’re all dreams and abstract ideas without any structure or planning you’ll stay stagnant and frustrated and be left wondering why nothing got accomplished.
Don't let your hopes and wishes for the New Year just remain a dream. But don't double down into action mode without intention and intuition either.
