In this 4th and final Reflect & Renew December mini-series episode we explore how the new year is approaching, and with it comes the pressure to set resolutions that often fizzle by February. In this episode of Java & Joy, we’re flipping the script: instead of chasing resolutions, we focus on intentions that truly stick. Join me as we explore how to:
• Understand why resolutions fade and intentions last
• Identify your core desired feelings to guide your year
• Walk through a gentle, guided exercise: “My Vision for the Year Ahead”
• Anchor your goals with beauty + mindset rituals that support your growth
Remember: you’re allowed to evolve gently. Let’s set intentions that nourish your mind, body, and soul — and start 2026 glowing from the inside out.
?S to ask yourself before 2026 to set INTENTIONS NOT GOALS!
✨ “What do I want to experience more of this year?”
Joy? Fun? Rest? Fulfillment? Connection?
✨ “What areas of my life feel ready for expansion?”
Career, health, creativity, relationships, spirituality, confidence?
✨ “What am I ready to release?”
Old habits, fears, beliefs, obligations, patterns?
✨ “What is one thing my future self would thank me for doing?”
✨ “What am I craving more than anything right now?”
Let whatever rises… rise.
This is your CORE speaking. Use your answers to create your INTENTIONS for 2026
Write Your 2026 Intentional Statement
“This year, I intend to live with (core feelings), make choices that support (desire), welcome (new experiences), and release (old patterns). I am stepping into the highest, most aligned version of myself.”
Read it out loud.
Let it land.
Your future self is smiling.
✨Pour yourself a cup of Java take a deep breath, and tune in for a sip of Joy!
