Ahh, a New Year!

Obviously, we do not go from pumpkins to Cinderella at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s night. However, many people find the start of a new year as a chance to realign, reflect on what worked the year before and what didn’t, and chart the course for this new year.

I absolutely love a new year. Check out my last post on my practice of writing a letter to the universe instead of resolutions! Every year I get a brand new bullet journal and start mapping out ideas. I love me a good vision board too!

Also, I do an audit of the previous year. How much did I spend on frivolous things? How many times did I say yes when I really wanted to say no? Did I get in enough 1:1 time with my kids and husband? I compare this to the year before to see if there was any improvements or if I went backwards. More on this later!

I love listening to podcasts and learning how others start their year. How they manifest their dreams and what I can do to improve myself. I am also a big astrology nerd, so I love learning about upcoming changes in the universe. Hi, retrogrades! Here are some of my top picks for you to listen to, to get your year started!!!

Calendar Audit : This episode of the Rachel Hollis Podcast will go into detail on the end of year calendar audit! She talks about how she manages her calendar through the year so she can do her review at the end of each year! I have always color coded my calendar for as long as I can remember. This episode helped me see how I could use that to better evaluate where I’m spending my time!

Raise Your Vibration: You have most likely heard of the Law of Attraction, but what about the Law of Vibration? Take a dive into the difference and how you can raise your vibration to attract all the things!

Manifest Your Dream Life: If you follow the Every Girl on IG then you should definitely try listening to their Podcast! It quickly became one of my favorites in 2023. This episode has guest Roxie Nafousi, author of Manifest in Action. (Which I highly recommend) Roxie gives tips on manifesting and how to start the year off to help bring your dreams to life!
