Friday Refresh - 2025 Intentions

Hey There,

I hope this first Friday of 2025 finds you cozy and excited for all the possibilities that lie ahead! Can you believe we're already here? (I swear 2024 went by in the blink of an eye! 👀)

Here's a thought that changed everything for me: New Year's resolutions often feel like promises that are easily broken. But a few years ago, I discovered something that actually works better – setting intentions. 🎯

Why Intentions > Resolutions?

While resolutions often feel like rigid rules we set up (just to break by February 😅), intentions are more like gentle guides that help us grow in the direction we want to go. They're flexible, forgiving, and – best of all – they actually work!

My 2025 Intentions (And Why They Matter)

🎧 Listening More Deeply

Ever catch yourself planning your response before someone's finished talking? Guilty as charged! This year, I'm committing to truly listening – especially to my teenage boys (who, let's be honest, speak their own language sometimes 😄). And this extends to you too! I want to hear more about what new products YOU want!

🌲 Embracing Nature's Reset Button

There's something magical about fresh air and green spaces that just hits different, right? Whether it's a trail hike, a quick walk in the park, or getting my hands dirty in the garden, nature is my go-to reset button. It's like a free therapy session with bonus vitamin D!

💜 Making "Me Time" Non-Negotiable

You know that airplane safety spiel about putting on your own oxygen mask first? Turns out, they're onto something! This year, I'm treating my self-care time (walks with Thor and Lulu, yoga sessions, or luxurious baths) as seriously as I treat my most important meetings.

Your Turn! 🌟I'd love to hear what intentions you're setting for 2025. Maybe you're nodding along to some of mine, or perhaps you've got something completely different in mind? Hit reply and let me know – I read every response personally!

Here's to listening, growing, learning, and being a little kinder to ourselves in 2025!

With intention and optimism,

Kecia

P.S. Quick challenge for you: Pick one tiny intention for today. Maybe it's taking a 5-minute nature break or really listening during your next conversation. Sometimes the smallest shifts create the biggest ripples! 🌊
