This year, instead of making resolutions , try something different — manifest the changes you want to make in your life with simple, practical steps. Resolutions tend to be vague, unrealistic, and disconnected from our deeper values, failing to create the emotional commitment needed for real change . It's a deliberate process that involves aligning your values, intentions, and actions to move toward the life you want. From there, create goals that are S.M.A.R.T. Take time to journal, visualize, or even create a vision board that reflects your values and intentions.
