You'll begin by naming the core desire of your heart, that is, what you truly want to feel and embody this year. From there, you'll create aligned intentions using the Be/Do/Have framework, helping you connect inner identity with practical actions and meaningful outcomes. If you're unsure where to begin, you'll explore the Wheel of Life as a compassionate tool for clarity. Finally, you'll bring your vision to life through a vision board and learn how to stay on course with small, consistent rituals, flexibility, and self-compassion. ------------------------- Table of Contents 1.

You'll explore the Be/Do/Have framework: BE: Who do I choose to be this year? DO: What actions will I take to honour my desire? HAVE: What outcomes do I want to experience as a result?
