Gratintention for New Year's

December 31, 2021

The start of a new year is a wonderful time to reflect and state intentions. Since that's what Gratintention is all about, let's do a New Year's Eve Gratintention practice.

This will be easy and fun and it's sure to spark some joy.

Step one:

Gratitude. If you want to take time to reflect on what you're grateful for in 2021, take as much time as you like. If you prefer more direction, let's go straight to

Health. What's one thing you are grateful for in 2021 that is related to your health?

If nothing else your body kept you going all year, because you're still here, ammiright?

Was there something else that your body helped you with this year? For example, I discovered swimming, and what a daily yoga practice can do for my body.

Now, intention.

What's one thing you would like to accomplish with your health this year, a goal or a hope?

How will you incorporate this goal into your daily life?

How will it feel when you've achieved this goal?

Now say thank you as if it's already done. "I'm grateful for the increased energy I have now that I've been walking every day"

Moving on...

Money - What's one thing you are grateful for in 2021 related to your finances? Did you pay off any debt? Did you make any unexpected income? Did you start investing?

What would be a financial goal or hope for 2022?

What can you do every day to stay on track towards this goal?

How will you feel when this goal is achieved?

"Thank you all of this money in my savings, it's so exciting. I'm proud of myself for reaching this goal"

Work - what's one thing you're grateful for that happened related to your career in 2021? Did you start a new job? Did you advance in your career, or learn a new skill? This can even be the same thing that was related to your finances, it's fine to combine the two.

What's a work goal that you would like to achieve in 2022?

What will you do to make that one thing happen?

How will you feel when this goal is achieved?

"I'm so grateful for that promotion that I worked hard for. I'm really proud of myself!"

Fun. Remember a time in the past year, that was fun. Did you take a trip? See a great movie? It can be a small moment. Did you share a belly laugh with a friend or sing at the top of your lungs in the car?

Goal- Do you want more of that? Want to try something new? How will it feel when you're doing it?

"Thank you for how much fun that ski run was! I laughed so hard with my bestie when we both fell on our butts!"

Relationships - Who are you grateful for? New friends? Reconnecting with old friends or family? A love? Your babies (human and fur)?

What would you like to have happen in regards to your relationships this year?

How will that feel?

"I'm so grateful for how close I feel to my sister after making a commitment to talk on the phone more often"

Spirituality - In what way did you feel spiritually connected this year? How would you like to feel more spiritually connected?

Permission to pass on this one. Spirituality is very personal and can't always be simplified into a a sentence or two.

IMPORTANT:

Once you have completed this exercise (feel free to copy template below), read it out loud to yourself. I dare you not to smile when you do.

Have an amazing 2022. I'm grateful to have you in my life and my community!

Cheers!
