The end of the year is a natural time to pause, reflect, and set the stage for a new chapter. It’s an opportunity to slow down, look back on how far you’ve come, and create a vision for the path ahead. But let’s be honest—this kind of reflection isn’t always easy. Life is busy, often chaotic, and carving out the time to reflect and plan can feel overwhelming.
That’s why I created the Guide to Intentional Living and included tools like a specific meditation and the Wheel of Life to support you. These tools offer a framework for closing the year with mindfulness and stepping into the new one with purpose. Whether or not you have the Beyond Boundaries Journal yet, this guide gives you a taste of what living intentionally can bring to your life.
Why I Created This Guide
For years, I’ve had a year-end ritual that’s become one of the most grounding and transformative practices in my life. I started this ritual during a period of uncertainty, when I felt lost and disoriented. Coming from a business background, I found myself constantly trying to strategize and problem-solve without ever stepping back and connecting with my inner self and intuition.
I realized I needed something more intentional, a practice that would allow me to step out of my "monkey mind" and truly connect with my life as a whole. That’s when I discovered the concept of reflecting on each area of life using the Wheel of Life. This tool helped me assess where I was thriving, where I felt depleted, and where I wanted to focus my energy moving forward.
It wasn’t just a one-time practice. Over the years, this ritual has evolved into something I revisit not just at the end of the year, but every few months. Life throws curveballs, plans shift, and intentions need realignment—and that’s okay. What matters is having a process to come back to, a way to ground yourself and recalibrate.
How This Guide Can Support You
The Guide to Intentional Living is more than just a workbook—it’s a tool for transformation. Here’s how it works:
1. Reflect on Your Year
Start by looking back. The guide includes reflective questions and the Wheel of Life to help you assess areas like Health, Relationships, Career, and more. This is about more than checking boxes—it’s about celebrating the highs, learning from the lows, and closing the year with a heart full of gratitude. Do the accompanying meditation to help you settle your mind and open yourself up to your intuition.
2. Set Intentions for the New Year
Once you’ve reflected, it’s time to look ahead. The guide includes prompts to help you set meaningful goals for the next 30, 60, and 90 days. These aren’t just resolutions—they’re intentional steps that align with your values and vision.
3. Create Weekly Rituals
Consistency is key to living intentionally. This is where the Beyond Boundaries Journal comes in. With 53 weeks of prompts and guidance, it’s designed to help you stay connected to your intentions all year long.
The Power of Intentional Living
When I began this practice, it wasn’t just about setting goals—it was about aligning my life with my values and creating a sense of purpose. Over time, it’s become a ritual that helps me feel grounded and empowered, no matter what challenges come my way.
It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress. Intentional living isn’t a destination—it’s a way of being, a commitment to showing up for yourself with clarity, curiosity, and compassion.
