Resource Your New Year

Supporting Your Vision

New Year’s energy provides the perfect space to check in and realign your plans, goals, and vision. And while we definitely have a favorite practice for setting a vision to guide you through the year, you can make a plan for the new year in many ways, whether you want to:

• Stick to a traditional resolution
• Choose a word of the year
• Consult with the stars
• Or write a letter to your future self

All these methods have one thing in common. In order to get to the other side of your vision, you need to have the resources to do it. Knowing how you will protect, grow, and harness your resources is important. Maybe you will focus on leveling up your mindset so you can say goodbye to fraudy feelings or expand your idea of what’s possible with your money. Or maybe you’ll get serious about protecting your time and energy with better boundaries, habits, and routines.

Whatever you set out to accomplish this year, we’re cheering you on! 🎉 This week we’re bringing you some resources and links that will help you stay well-resourced on your 2023 journey.

THE INFINITE RESOURCE

Claiming money is an infinite resource might seem counterintuitive. Especially when many of us worry about money. Where will it come from? Do we have enough? But money is the only resource that we can make more of. That being said, all the money in the world doesn’t matter if you don’t have the time or energy to enjoy it, but more on that later.

YOUR FINITE RESOURCES

Time and energy are resources that are not unlimited but instead are extremely finite. It isn’t easy to get more energy without trading some of your time for rest. And making more time usually comes down to buying it back. The critical thing to understand about these 2 resources is that both are required for not only creating your 2023 but for enjoying it as well.
