Let's jump into 2019 a little differently this year. Shake it up! I personally have never loved setting "resolutions..." feels like a set-up. Too much pressure. With this year I'm trying to take a more flexible approach. Focusing on visioning around how I want to feel, be, and act in 2019. Balanced, generous, & aim to be a better version of myself. What's your 2019 "vision" or "intention" for this year?
