The end of the year is a natural time to reflect on personal shifts that could allow us to feel like we’re living more fully. During today’s mini jolt, I share a fun alternative to creating New Year’s resolutions that have sparked joy for me in years past and even enhanced my marriage. I shared this back in 2023 and called it 23 for 2023. However, I have an update for you as we look into 2025. This is my twist on a practice originally created by Gretchen Rubin, a researcher and writer who studies happiness and habits.

This list is all about 20 things you’re excited to tackle that you know will give you a happiness boost. The catch is they must be one-offs that you can easily cross off the list, like making homemade meatballs, versus long-term goals or habit changes.

Listen in for tips on what to put on your list as well as what I’ve learned from doing this practice for years. I would love to hear what you’re planning for yourself in the first week of 2025. Message me or tag me on IG with your thoughts - @whitneywoman.

In this episode, we cover:

-What is 23 for 2023?

-Some examples of things you can add to your list

-My personal twist on this exercise that I absolutely love

-A few tips if you’re interested in trying this exercise

-You may not get through your entire list, and that's okay
