Production note: In this episode we’re working through a free download from our website. You’ll likely enjoy the show a bit more with the workbook in hand. You can grab it right here.

Ok, people, it’s a new year and everyone’s all “I gotta change my whole person!” But we’re here to tell you, no…no, you don’t. You are one hell of a person already. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

When it comes to setting your intentions for the year ahead, we believe it’s really important to, first, take a step back and evaluate the previous year. Doing so helps to bring some core areas of your life into focus and then you can begin to move forward through evolution, not a complete reinvention of self.

Easier said than done, right? We’ve got your back. As we were getting really clear on why we were doing this podcast, we also had to get really clear on who and what mattered to us. What started as a casual brainstorm morphed into an epic conversation. That epic conversation gave way to our manifesto. Be it January 1st or December 31st, these are the affirmations and aspirations we live by. This is Life Lately at its core.

Once we had that manifesto in our hot little hands, we realized it created the perfect framework for a workbook that would allow us (and you!) to chart the course for the life you want to live in 2016 and beyond. So we created just that and, again, you can access it right here.

We think you’ll love this episode if you’re looking to get really clear on who and what matters to you in 2016. We believe that when you get really clear on what matters in your life, you’ll have a much easier time charting a course for the life you want to live.

Our hope is that you’ll grab the workbook, sit down for a while with some tea (or wine…. #nojdugement) and carefully consider the tenets of our manifesto in the context of your own life.

Call us biased, but we think you will really get into it. Once you have the PDF in hand, you’ll be able to follow along with our conversation because we’re revealing our own responses and revelations right here in this episode.

Added bonus: We were both able to winnow down our imperative areas of focus into a single motivating word for 2016. We’re eager to see if you guys can get to that point. Let us know!
