Winter Magic: Make it Stick

Forward momentum regardless of the season.

The snow is falling here in Bend! It is so beautiful, even magical; and it is sticking!  

How about your 2025 New Year goals and aspirations? Are they sticking too?

This is honestly  more of a nudge or reminder that new growth is flat out hard work especially in the middle of  winter. Winter is quietly designed for us to move more slowly, take more  time, allowing us to linger thoughtfully in unexplored places. As a  result, this winter mindset calls for even greater focus and an extra  dose of motivation to help us stay the course to give us the best shot  at our own strong start to a bold, new 2025.

The world needs us!

If your goals or  aspirations have started to slip or slide or melt run them through this  checklist. Maybe you will find a missing piece, a bit of magical  inspiration, or some unexpected stickiness.

Goals/ Intentions that Stick:

• Get to the why behind the goal (why is this important or urgent at this time?)

• Activate an emotion (it's our emotions that actually change our behavior)

• Are future-focused (you can "see" yourself in that future new you)

• Have a clear and attainable timeline

"We  believe that all of us should live with passion, but without a strategy  to carry that passion forward we are stuck with just our dreams and our  unfulfilled ambition waiting to be realized."
