Maybe instead of looking at what you want this year, you should look at who you want to be.

Here is an exercise to help you figure it out:

1. Take a blank piece of paper and write at the top “I want to be a person who…”
2. Then, set a timer for 60 seconds and write down all the words that come to your mind without censoring or erasing.
3. Next, take this list of words and phrases and find pictures, images, and even songs – anything that evokes a visual or emotional representation of your words.
4. Put these items in a physical folder or a digital folder. Set a recurring reminder to look at these things on the first of every month.
5. By the end of the year you can evaluate if you have become the person you wanted to be.
