Ringing in a new year is all about a fresh start, full of possibilities to shape your future.  But as we’ve all experienced, that wave of motivation inevitably wanes as the new year begins.

I’m Kathy Robinson, former corporate executive turned wellness entrepreneur who used to take her goal-setting process VERY seriously.  But I’ve created a method that’s more fun and has helped me sustain momentum and inspiration throughout a new year.

My secret?  I’ve replaced traditional goal setting with a process I call “future self” planning.

What’s the difference?  Traditional goal setting focuses on outcome and achievement, relying on external reward and recognition.

Conversely, the “future self” approach focuses on the person you want to become and life you want to live – it’s holistically oriented and intrinsically motivated.

When you visualize your future self and then create your plan for the year, you’re not just setting goals; you’re creating a powerful emotional connection to your desired outcome.  This is what fuels your momentum and greatly increases your chances of realizing your New Years intentions.

Congrats on making this important time investment to shape your destiny.  Here’s to becoming your future self! 🥂
