✨ Reflection and Intentions for the New Year
The new year isn’t a leap into the void—it’s a weaving. A thread connecting what has been to what is coming, and one that you can consciously choose to guide.
Taking stock, then setting intentions, is offering direction to your energy.
Not a rigid plan—an inner compass.
🌙 The bottom line: Look with kindness
A good reflection doesn’t judge.
It observes. It welcomes. It acknowledges.
You can divide your year into three simple areas:
🌙 What nourished me
🌙 What cost me
🌙 What I learned
Answer these three questions without rushing.
You’ll already gain clarity.
🌙 Emotional Reflection: Listen to what stands out
Note the emotions that marked your year the most.
Not to cling to them, but to see which ones still need care—and which can be released.
🌙 Intentions: “pointing the lighthouse”
Intentions are not goals—they are directions of the heart.
Some examples:
🌙 “I invite more gentleness.”
🌙 “I choose stability.”
🌙 “I allow simple joy in.”
🌙 “I trust myself.”
Write 3 to 5.
No more—the year needs space to surprise you.
🌙 The Seed of Renewal
Choose a guiding word for the year.
A word that opens doors for you:
Clarity. Courage. Roots. Expansion. Light. Momentum.
This word will become a gentle compass for your daily decisions.
🌙 Anchoring Ritual
To seal your intentions:
🌙 Light a candle
🌙 Reread your reflection
🌙 Slowly read your intentions
🌙 Breathe
🌙 Extinguish the candle, whispering: “I let life do its part.”
Your year doesn’t begin with resolutions… but with inner alignment.
A fertile ground.
A readiness.
The rest will come.

with gentleness, trust, and a light that reflects who I am.”
