A NEW YEAR WITHOUT RESOLUTIONS
A CHOICE BETWEEN LISTENING AND PLANNING
This year, I didn’t make a list of resolutions. I didn’t sit down and decide who I needed to become or map out exactly how the year should go step by step. What I did instead was much quieter, I made a commitment to listen to myself and prioritize that voice in the choices I make each day.
The things that matter to me are still there. What has changed is the way I’m choosing to relate to those as priorities. I’m no longer forcing structure around them or trying to manage them into place on a specific timeline. Instead, I’m moving through the moments as they come with awareness. Prioritizing micro choices which feed into the macro plan.
QUESTIONS THAT ARE GUIDING ME
For the past few weeks I’ve been asking myself very simple, very honest questions throughout moments in my day.
What do I need right now?
Is this small choice actually serving me?
Does saying yes fill my well, or does it take more than I realize?
These questions have become my guide, and they feel more grounding than any detailed plan I could have written in preparation for January 1. Moving through the start of the year this way has ushered it in with calmness. There’s something deeply soothing about knowing who you are, recognizing where you are, and trusting that you don’t need to rush to get where you’re going. There’s no urgency here. Just a quiet sense of knowing.
Grounded Intention for Life and Work
That feeling is influencing how I’m showing up in my personal life, and it’s also shaping how I’m leading Thara Sacra right now. As a brand, we’ve always been intentional. But this year, that intention feels more refined. Less about adding and more about choosing. More focus on quality, coherence, and how things actually feel to live with, not just how they look or sound.
Listening to myself has reminded me that the way we lead our lives matters. The way we make decisions ripples outward. When I’m grounded, the people around me feel it. When my choices come from clarity instead of pressure, everything moves with more ease.
Moving Through the Year with Connection
For me, this year isn’t about pushing forward or proving anything. It’s about staying connected to what matters, honoring that connection day by day, and letting it shape where I go next. That’s how I’m beginning the year. And it’s the energy guiding Thara Sacra as we move forward.
