January Thoughts

Welcome to 2025!

A new year brings fresh opportunities for growth, but let’s be real—how often do we start strong with resolutions only to fall back into old habits? This year, I’m taking a different approach. Instead of just making resolutions, I’m focusing on understanding why certain patterns exist and addressing the root causes.

I want to create a clear, sustainable path to the life I want—one that feels intentional and aligned with my values. This year I will untangle simplifying, prioritizing, and creating space for what matters most.

The first step is taking a step back. I’m reflecting on my goals to ensure they align with my values and looking at my calendar to see where I’m overcommitted or distracted. Identifying my biggest stressors will help me focus my energy in the right places. 

Once I’ve reassessed my priorities, I’ll set up systems to stay on track throughout the year. But change isn’t just about systems—it’s about mindset. I know it won’t be easy, so I’ll be gentle with myself and focus on self-care. Taking time for rest, exercise, and healthy habits is essential for staying energized and grounded.

I’m also learning to say no more often, creating space for what truly matters. And while plans are important, I’m embracing flexibility, knowing that life is unpredictable and sometimes requires adjustments. 

As we step into 2025, I’m deeply grateful for your continued support. From opening our Encinitas location in 2019 to growing our community through challenges, I’m proud of what we’ve built together. Here’s to untangling the chaos, simplifying our lives, and creating a path that leads to more clarity, purpose, and joy.

Cheers to a fresh start and a bright year ahead!

With Gratitude,
