What You Are Looking Forward to This Year

One of my favourite things to do in the new year is to write down all the things that I am looking forward to. My Purpose Planner has a “year at a glance” section where you can see all 12 months over two pages.

Each month has a box so you can write in the big things that you have on that month. It might be family occasions, events you are attending, or trips you have planned.

Having something to look forward to is a wonderful way to energise yourself and create excitement. The feeling of having nothing to look forward to has an enormous impact on your energy levels.

If you don’t have anything to look forward to, think about something you could plan that you would look forward to. Think about family members, think about places you would like to visit, things you want to celebrate.

Once I have written down what I have planned or booked, I then place things into four categories:

  1. Fill your emotional tank - beauty & celebration

  2. Replenish my mental energy - space & experience

  3. Heal your physical body - rest & heal

  4. Connect to your spiritual self - learn & love

So far this year, I have 8 exciting things planned. I like to aim for one each month but it's still early in the year so I don’t want to fill up too fast!

I have two things booked for my emotional well-being, three for mental stimulation, three for physical health and two for spiritual learning and connection.

What do you have planned this year?
What is coming up that fills your tank?
It might be a short visit to an old friend, it might be a huge trip. What you are doing doesn’t matter. How it makes you feel is the key!

If you are looking for a rest or to learn some new tools to change your life - it's not too late to join me at Repotted next month!

Repotted is a retreat designed to give you the space and support you need to unpack where things are at for you and to redesign your world! You may not want to make huge changes, maybe you are keen to get some space - away from everything in your world so you can rest and restore and reset how you want 2024 to look!

There are only a couple of places left!

The other big exciting thing happening in my calendar is I am going back to China!
Back to Shanghai (after a long wait!) for a week of shopping, luxury, laughter, and fun. If you are keen to travel but are nervous to go it alone, come with me and 10 other wonderful women for a week of affordable luxury! You can have tailored clothing made, eat incredible food, have luxury spas treatments and make new friends!

Shanghai is happening in May. You can secure your place now with just a $3000 NZD deposit.
