Intentional Endings & Beautiful Beginnings

I hope your New Year is beginning beautifully. Something my mentor shared recently landed deeply in my body and I want to share it with you. She said:

Every beautiful beginning transpires from an intentional ending.

I felt these words reverberate through my entire being. Because it’s true — the end is never really an end. It is a threshold. And the more intentional we are with how we close a chapter, the more potent and aligned the beginning becomes.

Intention is the foundation of everything we create.

Intention → Creation

Intention is the seed of creation.
Our lives are created one intention at a time.

For many of us, we are creating without conscious intention. We may not realize we are intending or creating — yet in every moment, we are. What we create is influenced by the lens through which we see, perceive, and relate to the world.

The beauty of life is that it is ours to create. And the more we remember this, the more intentionally we can choose what we are creating — and therefore what we experience.

Intention > Resolution

I’ve never truly resonated with New Year’s resolutions.

When I did create lists of resolutions, I noticed I wasn’t deeply connected to them — and inevitably, they fell away. Resolutions often arise from the mind alone, rather than from identity and embodiment.

Instead, I’ve always set intentions for the year ahead.

I’ve found that intentions carry far more meaning and impact. Intentions anchor us into presence. And when we are fully present, our power naturally rises.

Context Creates Clarity

For the past few years, I’ve also chosen a context for each year.

In 2024, my context was “Becoming Anna Finck.”
In 2025, it was Creation — building upon the foundation of who I had become.

I was building me — because I am the foundation for my life, relationships, and business.

When we create a clear context for the year, we create clarity.
Clarity creates direction.
Direction creates momentum.

Our context becomes the filter through which we experience life and make decisions.

Revolution > Resolution

So many people set New Year’s resolutions, only to fall back into old patterns within weeks.

Not because they lack discipline — but because true change doesn’t happen through force. It happens through identity, embodiment, and consciousness.

When an intention becomes embodied, it becomes second nature — an unconscious competence. You no longer have to “try” to be different. You are different.

That’s not resolution.
That’s revolution.

An Invitation

As we step into this new year, I invite you to gently contemplate:

What is your intention for 2026?

What are you intending to create?

What is the context you are choosing to live from this year?

Let this be a year you create on purpose.

Wishing you a year filled with radiant health, deep joy, expansive love, and profound beauty!
