As we step into a new year, the word "resolution" often pops up. Many people make resolutions, promising to make changes or achieve certain goals. But what exactly is a resolution? And why should we consider focusing on intentions instead?

A resolution is essentially a commitment to a specific outcome. It’s a decision to achieve something — whether it’s losing weight, exercising more, or eating healthier. However, a resolution doesn’t always address the underlying why. Why do you want to make these changes? What deeper meaning do these goals hold for you?

This is where intentions come in. Intentions go beyond the “what” and focus on the why. They align your actions with your beliefs and values. An intention isn’t just about a goal you want to achieve — it’s a commitment to a process. It’s about taking action now, in the present moment, to create lasting change. When you set an intention, you're not just thinking about a destination — you're living with purpose every step of the way.

So, when you're setting goals or resolutions for the year, ask yourself: Why? Why do you want to make these changes? What does your goal mean to you? When you connect with your deeper motivations, you’ll set more meaningful intentions that are aligned with your values and beliefs. These intentions will guide you to achieve your goals in a way that feels fulfilling and authentic.
