A Word to Live By for 2025

Happy 2025!

I love the energy of intention that comes with a new year. I no longer set resolutions, but I believe it is important to explore where we have been and what is ahead.

I have been enjoying hearing from other thought leaders and some of my mentors about how they embrace the new year.

Arthur Brooks, Harvard professor and author of “Build The Life You Want’, shared his process of the ‘Reverse Bucket List’ (you can grab his template here).
Suleika Jaouad, author of “Two Kingdoms” and writer for The New York Times, shares her ‘5 Lists’ (sign up for The Isolation Journal here)
Futureme.org is the perfect way to look forward with purpose and intention. Consider writing yourself a letter to be opened on 12/31/2025. Many prompts and ideas are available on their website, and it’s entirely free:)

In this episode of The Sober Edge Podcast, I share my own fondness for selecting a word of the year. This is a practice I have embraced for the past 5 years and one of my favorite ways to embrace the new year. I guess I am a sucker for rituals!

Here are a few other things I cover on the podcast:

The neuroscience of goal-setting
How to choose a word of the year
Some ‘dos and don’ts’ that make this even more effective

Whether you embrace your own New Year’s tradition or choose one of the above, I wish you a bright and special Happy New Year!
