Welcome to this meditation,
A space to explore your goals for 2025 in a radically different way.
I'm Sara Zanacroce and I'll be your guide today.
I'm recording this on a gloomy November day in 2024.
If traditional goal-setting feels heavy or uninspiring,
I hope this will be a fresh approach to you,
Focused on the person you wish to become,
Rather than just the outcomes you want to achieve.
So let's meditate.
Gently close your eyes if that feels safe.
And let's begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose.
Feel your lungs expand fully.
Hold it for a moment.
And now exhale through your mouth.
Letting go of any tension or preconceived ideas about goals you have.
And just let your breath flow naturally now.
Each inhale drawing in calm.
And each exhale releasing pressure or expectation or any numbers.
Feel the weight of your body supported by your seat or any other surface beneath you.
Let your shoulders drop.
Your hands open.
And your body relax.
Now let's go on a little journey to the end of 2025.
Imagine yourself standing on the top of a mountain.
It is December 31st,
2025.
It's a crisp but very clear day.
The air is cold and refreshing.
And the sky stretches out endlessly in every direction.
This is your mountain.
Your journey.
Every step you've taken to get here has brought you to this moment.
Take a look around.
What do you see?
There are some mountain peaks in the distance.
Some with snow-capped tops catching the sunlight.
And below a wide expanse of evergreen forests stretches out.
Their rich green color standing out against the clear blue sky.
The landscape feels vast and open.
At the same time the rugged mountains offer a sense of stability and strength.
You might also see trails winding through the valleys,
Symbolizing the path you've taken to get here.
You stand tall and steady,
Taking in the beauty of this view that represents your life.
How does it feel to stand here,
Knowing you've arrived at this moment in your journey?
Just notice the sensations in your body.
Do you feel grounded?
Energized?
Or maybe lighter?
Breathe deeply into this feeling of accomplishment and ease.
And now as you look out from this mountaintop,
Reflect on your life as it is now in this future moment.
On December 31st,
2025.
What does your day-to-day life look like?
How do you organize your week to feel aligned,
Balanced and fulfilled?
Have you created more time for connection,
Rest or creativity?
Take a few moments to reflect upon these questions.
And now turn your focus to your work,
Your life's work.
What does your work look like in this future moment?
Is it deeply aligned with your values?
Has it evolved in ways that surprise or delight you?
And what new skills have you developed or what perspectives have shifted to make this evolution possible?
Ask yourself now,
What else do I need to know,
Learn,
Embody or surrender to stand here confidently on this mountaintop as my future self?
Just let the answers come naturally,
Trusting that they are already within you.
Take another deep breath,
Letting the sense of clarity and purpose settle into your body.
And when you're ready,
Gently bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Wiggle your fingers and toes and feel the support of the ground beneath you.
And before you move forward with your day,
I invite you to take a moment now,
While you're still in this half-awake state,
To write down the answers to a few questions.
Who do I want to be in my business in 2025?
What do I want to experience in my life and business in 2025?
And what do I want to create in my life and business in 2025?
Hopefully these reflections will help you connect the future you that you just visualized with the present choices and actions that will bring it to life.
Come back to this meditation whenever you need it.
Thank you so much for spending this time with me today.
Here's to an amazing 2025.
Namaste.
