Setting intentions rather than resolutions at the start of a new year is a powerful and impactful approach to personal growth.

Choosing one word to guide the year ahead at New Year's can be a powerful practice that helps you reset your life to align more with your goals and dreams.

So if you’re planning on starting a new creative project in the year ahead or you have a wish or a resolution for the new year, here’s my suggestion: start now. Even if it’s only 15 or 30 minutes a day, turning your mind and your heart to a project that you’re excited or passionate about can give you a sense of purpose and promise and meaning.
