Feeling stuck? Try this prompt to reset and refocus for 2025


Do you think slowing down means you’re a slacker and lazy, Reader?

January can often feel overwhelming. We start with big plans, but post-holiday blues get you down and you lose focus and momentum by February.

If that’s how you’re feeling, maybe this prompt will help you regain clarity and focus:

What’s 1 thing I can release today?

Don’t censor yourself when answering this.

Just write down everything that comes up. Handwriting with pen and paper is best, because it allows all your thoughts and feelings to flow more easily, in a stream of consciousness style.

This is how you’ll find golden nuggets of insights.

With clarity comes confidence.

P.S. I 'resorted' to meditation 10 years ago. I say resorted because I used to think meditation was a complete waste of my time. But actually, it helped me feel so much better, to the point that I could take baby steps to improve the state of my time, energy, relationships and money situations. That eventually led me to be a certified MAP coach. I wanted to go in-depth to learn everything about MAP and mastering my mind and emotions. Eventually, I started sharing MAP with other moms to help them let go of overwhelm so they can regain focus. It's been a life-changer. If you want to try it, book a MAP Experience session with me.
