I was chatting with my sisters last night when they invited me to join them in a 12-day countdown towards the new year. They’ve each written down on paper 12 goals they want to accomplish, and as the new year draws closer, they burn one of the goals every day without looking at it.
By the time the new year arrives, they’ll have only one goal left, which is the goal they’re intended to focus on for 2025.
I love the idea, but I run the desires part of my life like a corporation and have monthly re-evaluations of my goals, which stretch 10+ years into the future.
(Am I a psychopath? Yeah, maybe where this is concerned).
Still, I love the idea of asking kismet to step into my life, so my overnight brain (the part of my mind that sorts out my problems while I sleep) presented me with a rather lovely solution: instead of goals, I’ll offer up 12 words to theme my year ahead.
Here are the words I’ve selected:
Friendship
Homebody
Stillness
Silly
Artistic
Softness
Rest
Focus
Expressive
Rich
Impossible
Glow
What I enjoy about this process as my sisters explained it to me, is that you’re coming to an agreement with kismet that it will take care of the other 11 if you focus on the one it assigns you at the end of those 12 days.
I’m two days behind, with only 10 days until the new year, but I can certainly light a few extra on fire today and catch up.
Which means you can too. So, are you going to join?
