Because let’s be honest, New Year’s resolutions are a dead end for most people.

In fact, if you’re like most (75% according to studies), then chances are that you probably gave up on them sometime in February, maybe even sooner. Right?

Have you wondered why though? Why is it that we can’t seem to take action on the things we truly want?

Every year, we make resolutions solely out of “tradition.”

And while these resolutions are well-meaning, they are more like “wishful thinking.”

“I want to lose weight this year.”
“I want to travel more this year.”
“I want to make more money this year.”
“I want to start a business this year.”

We call these superficial intentions. Meaning, “what you think you want,” or what society says you should want.

These are certainly great things to ask for, but they’re missing three important ingredients:

The “why, what, and how.”

This is where resolutions fail.

When we want to bring change into our lives, we need to create a plan, or a series of “action steps” on how we’re going to actually get there.
These action steps are called goals, (how).

But, before we can set goals, we first need to create a vision (what).

And before we can create a vision, we must set an intention. (why).

Your intention is your “why,” your “heart-felt desire” that comes directly from your highest “truest” being. The very core reason why you are asking for these things. This is your Sankalpa.

Now, in order to access your truest, highest being, you must first be in alignment. When you’re in alignment:

Your mind tends to be clear so there is little resistance from your “rational” mind. In other words, that little voice telling you “you can’t” or “you’re not enough,” etc…tends to be quiet around this time.

Your subconscious is highly receptive to your suggestions.

This is where yoga, meditation, and journaling come in…

These powerful tools help clear the pathway that brings you to that state of “alignment.”
