Hey friends, Chase here
This time of year, I get a lot of messages from folks ready for change — they’ve declared an intention, they want the next chapter, but something’s holding them back. Some have the ideas and energy but no system to ship. Others have the systems but aren’t listening to the quiet that tells them what to build next. Different gaps, same problem: without space to reflect and a mindful plan to act, momentum stalls.
Here’s the truth most people ignore:
Intentions are the spark — but they won’t transform your life without quiet, synthesis, and daily practices that turn ideas into meaningful work.
You can declare you’re “a creator” all you want, but without adventures that feed your curiosity, habits that produce work, and a practice of listening and asking questions, your intentions stay inspirational notes instead of real projects.
If you only scribble ideas and never synthesize, they evaporate. If you only measure outcomes and never give yourself quiet, you miss the intuition that points to what’s worth doing.
In today’s episode:
- Why setting an intention matters — and how to approach it mindfully instead of rushing into action
- The seven practical steps to turn end-of-year reflection into real momentum: adventures, consuming culture, making, scribbling, sharing, asking, and listening
- A simple way to track your work so progress becomes inevitable, not accidental
Enjoy — and remember: this season of reflection is not for doing nothing; it’s for slowing down just enough to do the right, often uncomfortable, work that actually moves you forward.
