Flip the Script This Year- How to Make Intentions Stick in 2025

As we dive into a brand new year, it's the perfect time to hit the refresh button on our goals and dreams. 

But let’s be real—how many times have we made grand resolutions only to see them fizzle out by February? 

This year, we’re flipping the script! Instead of lofty promises that feel more like a chore, let’s explore some cool, creative ways to set intentions that are not just achievable but also fun! 

Whether you want to get involved in your community, learn something new, or simply bring more joy into your life, we’ve got you covered. So grab a cozy drink, get comfy, and let’s turn those intentions into exciting adventures you can actually stick to!

1. Keep it simple and specific: Instead of saying "I want to change the world," pick something smaller like "I want to learn more about local issues in my town"

2. Make it measurable: Think about how you'll know you're making progress. Maybe you could say "I'll read one news article about my city every week"

3. Be realistic: Choose goals that fit your life. If you're super busy, maybe start with something easy like "I'll talk to one neighbor about a community issue this month"

4. Connect it to what matters to you: Think about what's important in your life, like family, health, or your community. Your political intentions should match those values

5. Break it down: Big goals can be scary. So, chop them up into smaller, weekly tasks. Like if you want to volunteer more, start by researching local groups for 15 minutes each Sunday

6. Write it down and check in: Put your intentions somewhere you can see them every day. Maybe on your fridge or on your phone. This helps you remember and stay on track

And there you have it—your toolkit for setting intentions that you can truly embrace and enjoy!

By keeping things simple, specific, and fun, you're not just setting goals; you're creating a roadmap for a year filled with growth and positivity. 

Be kind to yourself: If you mess up or forget sometimes, that's okay! Just keep trying. The important thing is to keep moving forward
