DIVING INTO: THE BEST WAY TO APPROACH NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

Hi love,

Every December, the world seems to erupt into the same conversation: resolutions, goals, new routines, new habits, “new year, new me.” 

And while there’s nothing wrong with wanting growth, the way most people approach the new year is quietly exhausting. 

They make a checklist a mile long, pressure themselves into a version of perfection that isn’t sustainable, and then feel guilty when they can’t keep up by mid-February.

But the issue isn’t discipline.

The issue is that most resolutions are built around outcomes, not identity.

We try to manifest the “what” before understanding the “who,” forgetting that any real transformation begins internally. 

Our external world is filtered through our identity — our beliefs, patterns, expectations, emotions, and the subconscious stories we’ve carried for years. Which means if the identity stays the same, the results never fully stick.

This is why in my work, I teach manifestation as less “woo” and more about habits, patterns, and the emotional world driving them. Anything you want to create — especially something new or unfamiliar — requires becoming the version of you who can hold it with ease.

Think about it: if you’re trying to manifest a new chapter, but the internal patterns you’re operating from are rooted in fear, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or survival mode, your mind will pull you back into what’s familiar. 

Not because you’re failing — but because your subconscious hasn’t caught up to the vision yet.

Identity-based change is what bridges that gap. When your identity shifts, everything else follows.

And the beautiful thing? You don’t need to overhaul your entire personality to begin. You just need to connect with the version of you who already holds the life you’re calling in — and then align your habits, your choices, and your emotional responses with that version.

This is where intrinsic motivation matters. When resolutions are based on what everyone else is doing, what you think you “should” want, or what social pressure tells you to fix, they’re built on scarcity. 

But when your goals emerge from self-trust, self-love, and truth, the process feels grounded, empowering, and sustainable.

Here’s a gentle way to begin shifting into identity-based manifestation as you move into the new year:

Start by getting clear on the version of yourself you want to be — not the outcomes you want to hit. Feel into their energy. How do they think? How do they move through the world? What small habits anchor their day? 

And then choose 1-2 of those habits to commit to. Not the whole list. Not the whole transformation in January. 

As you move through that commitment, notice what pulls you out of it. Instead of seeing these as valid storylines, excuses or reasons — stretch a bit. What if there were lessons here to support you in embodying that version of yourself further?

With awareness, those patterns soften. And as they soften, your identity shifts. As your identity shifts, you naturally begin choosing differently, showing up differently, creating differently. You build and grow habits consistently, sustainably. A whole new world of possibility becomes available — one you couldn’t see from your current lens.

Because the moment you stop chasing the outcome and start embodying the person who already holds it, everything begins to click into place. Your external world expands to meet the internal version of you finally emerging.

This year, let your resolutions be an act of remembering what you truly want for yourself — not chasing or perfecting who you think you should be.

✏️ QUESTION FOR REFLECTION + GUIDING TIP: THE BEST WAY TO APPROACH NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

Question for Reflection:
Who is the version of me that already embodies the life I want — and what is one habit that would anchor me into that identity right now?

Guiding Tip:
Before setting any intention, ask yourself: “Is this coming from pressure or from truth?” Choose the one that expands you. Let that guide your next chapter.

With love,
Dominique
