Ah, New Year’s resolutions—the promises we make with all the hope and excitement of a fresh start. “This is the year I’ll finally get in shape.” “This is the year I’ll save more money.” “This is the year I’ll stop procrastinating.”

Sound familiar?

Every January, millions of us sit down with a pen and paper or our favorite app, creating a list of all the things we want to achieve in the year ahead. There’s a certain magic in those moments—a sense of possibility and a belief that this year will be different.

But let’s be honest: how many of those goals are still standing strong by February? Studies show that nearly 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by mid-February. And if you’ve ever set a resolution and watched it quietly fade into the background of your busy life, you’re not alone.

So why is it so hard to stick to them? And more importantly, what can you do differently this year? Let’s break it down.

1. Resolutions Often Focus on Surface-Level Actions

Most resolutions are about what we want to do, like going to the gym more often, cutting back on sugar, or saving more money. But they rarely address the deeper reasons why we haven’t been able to do those things already.

For example, if you’ve been struggling to “spend less,” the problem might not be the budgeting app you’re using. It could be rooted in emotional habits, like spending as a form of comfort, or in limiting beliefs like “I’ll never have enough money.”

The truth is, unless we address the underlying why behind our habits, our efforts to change often feel forced and unsustainable. It’s like putting a band-aid on a wound that needs stitches—it might cover things up for a while, but it won’t hold in the long run.

2. We Forget That Motivation Fades

At the start of the year, motivation is running high. You’re excited about the possibilities, envisioning a new and improved version of yourself. But motivation is like a spark—it’s bright and energizing, but it burns out quickly.

When that initial excitement fades (and it will), what’s left? For most people, the answer is: nothing. Without a solid foundation of discipline, structure, and self-belief, resolutions tend to crumble under the weight of everyday life.

It’s not about being “bad” at sticking to goals—it’s about understanding that motivation alone isn’t enough to fuel long-term change.

3. Unresolved Emotional Blocks Sabotage Our Progress

This is the sneaky one. If you’re carrying unresolved fears, doubts, or limiting beliefs, they’ll act as silent saboteurs when you try to make changes.

Have you ever found yourself falling back into old habits, even when you knew better? That’s often your subconscious trying to keep you in the “safe zone” it knows. Change feels risky to the brain, even when it’s positive, so it resists.

It’s not that you’re lazy or undisciplined—your energy is simply out of alignment with your goals. Until you address the emotional blocks holding you back, progress will always feel like an uphill battle.

What to Do Instead

So how can you actually set goals that stick? Here are three powerful shifts to try:

1. Focus on Your “Why”

Instead of just saying, “I want to lose weight,” ask yourself why that matters. Is it about feeling more confident? Living longer to see your kids grow up? Having the energy to travel and experience life?

When your goals are tied to a deeper purpose, they feel more meaningful. And that sense of purpose makes it easier to stay committed when challenges arise.

2. Build Habits, Not Grand Plans

Big resolutions can feel overwhelming, which is why breaking them down into small, actionable habits works so much better. Instead of vowing to “save $5,000” this year, start with saving $5 a day or setting up an automatic transfer to your savings account.

These small actions might feel insignificant, but they add up over time. And with every bit of progress, you’ll build the momentum and confidence to keep going.

3. Clear the Energy Holding You Back

This is the game-changer. If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, it’s worth looking at the emotional blocks and limiting beliefs standing in your way.

Clearing trapped energy—whether it’s fear, self-doubt, or past failures—allows you to approach your goals with a clean slate. Imagine how much lighter and more aligned you’d feel without the weight of old patterns holding you back.

This isn’t just about resolutions—it’s about creating space for the abundance, clarity, and success you deserve in 2025. Let’s make this the year you finally feel aligned with your goals.

I’ll see you there!

When it comes to financial freedom, most people think about budgeting, investments, or hard work. While all these are essential, the hidden key many overlook is energy. Yes, money is energy, and like everything else, it responds to your energetic frequency. The exciting part? You have the power to shift your energy and raise your financial vibration, making you an irresistible magnet for wealth and abundance. Let’s explore how you can do this, step by step.

Ever noticed how some people seem to effortlessly attract money while others seem to struggle no matter how hard they try? The difference isn’t always about what they do — it’s often about the energy they carry around money. Money, like everything in this universe, is a form of energy, and it responds to your personal vibration. If you’ve been feeling stuck in a financial rut, it might be time to check in with your energy. Ready to become a magnet for wealth? Let’s dive in!

The Energetic Frequency of Money

Everything in this universe vibrates at a certain frequency, and money is no different. When you operate from a place of lack, fear, or desperation, your energy is vibrating at a low frequency, pushing money away from you. On the flip side, when you’re vibrating at a high frequency — joy, abundance, gratitude — money flows to you effortlessly. The goal is to align yourself with the frequency of abundance, and the good news is, it’s easier than you think.

Think about the times you’ve been stressed about money. What happens? Bills pile up, unexpected expenses appear, and financial opportunities slip through your fingers. Now, think about the moments when you felt secure, abundant, and at peace with your finances. Suddenly, things start falling into place. Money shows up in unexpected ways, opportunities come knocking, and abundance flows to you. This isn’t magic — it’s the law of energy.

Understanding Your Current Financial Energy

Before we talk about how to raise your vibration, it’s important to first recognize the frequency you’re currently operating on. Ask yourself:

How do you feel about money right now?
Do you believe that there’s “never enough,” or do you trust in the endless possibilities of wealth?
When unexpected expenses come up, do you panic, or do you view them as temporary bumps on the road to abundance?

If you often find yourself feeling anxious, frustrated, or worried about money, you’re probably vibrating on a lower frequency. The first step to raising your financial vibration is to become aware of where you are. Awareness creates the space for transformation.

How to Raise Your Financial Vibration

Now that you understand how your energy is tied to your financial reality, it’s time to shift your vibration to one that aligns with wealth. Here are the steps to raise your frequency and become a magnet for abundance:

1. Start with Gratitude: Embrace What You Already Have

Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations you can experience, and it’s the perfect way to start aligning with abundance. When you focus on what you already have, you send out the message that you are abundant. This, in turn, attracts more wealth into your life. Every time you pay a bill, instead of feeling resentful or stressed, feel grateful that you have the money to pay it. Every time you receive money — whether it’s a paycheck, a gift, or even a small unexpected windfall — express genuine gratitude.

Exercise: Every day, write down three things you’re financially grateful for. It could be as simple as the roof over your head or the lunch you just enjoyed. The more you focus on the abundance already in your life, the more you’ll attract.

2. Clear Your Limiting Beliefs: Reprogram Your Money Mindset

Many of us grew up with limiting beliefs about money, and those beliefs become the filters through which we see the world. Maybe you were told that money doesn’t grow on trees, or that wealth is only for the lucky few. These beliefs create energetic blocks that repel abundance. It’s time to identify these subconscious beliefs and replace them with empowering ones.

Exercise: Write down the negative beliefs you hold about money. Do you think you have to work really hard to make money? Do you feel guilty about wanting more wealth? Now, for each limiting belief, create a new empowering affirmation. For example, “Money is hard to make” becomes “Money flows to me with ease.” Repeat these affirmations daily to reprogram your money mindset.

3. Visualize Wealth: Step Into Your Abundant Future

Your brain is a powerful tool for creation. When you visualize yourself living in abundance, you’re aligning your energy with the frequency of wealth. Spend a few minutes each day visualizing your financial goals as if they’re already achieved. See yourself living in your dream home, driving your dream car, and experiencing financial freedom.

Exercise: Set aside 10 minutes a day for a “wealth visualization” meditation. Close your eyes and imagine your life filled with financial abundance. Feel the emotions associated with that abundance — joy, security, freedom. Your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality, so this practice helps you vibrate at the frequency of your desired financial state.

4. Take Inspired Action: Align Your Actions with Your Intentions

Raising your vibration isn’t just about changing your mindset; it’s also about taking aligned action. Inspired action is the bridge between your inner energy and your external reality. It’s not about hustling or forcing things to happen — it’s about acting from a place of clarity and trust. When you’re vibrating at a higher frequency, you’ll naturally be guided to the right opportunities and actions that align with your financial goals.

Exercise: Ask yourself, “What is one small step I can take today to move towards my financial goals?” It could be anything from starting a savings account, learning about investments, or creating a plan for a side business. The key is to take action that feels aligned with your higher energy.

5. Surround Yourself with Wealthy Energy: Curate Your Environment

Your surroundings have a massive impact on your vibration. If you’re constantly surrounded by people who are stuck in a scarcity mindset, that energy will rub off on you. On the other hand, when you spend time around people who are abundant, successful, and optimistic, their energy will lift you higher.

Exercise: Take a look at your current environment — both physical and social. Is your space cluttered, or does it feel abundant? Are your conversations with friends filled with complaints, or do they inspire you to dream bigger? Make small shifts to surround yourself with people, environments, and content that elevate your financial vibration.

6. Let Go of Control: Trust the Process

One of the most important (and hardest) steps in raising your financial vibration is learning to trust. When we try to control every aspect of our financial life from a place of fear or anxiety, we create resistance. The universe works in mysterious ways, and sometimes the best thing you can do is surrender. Trust that the money you desire is already making its way to you, and relax into the flow.

Exercise: Practice letting go of financial stress by repeating the mantra, “I trust that the universe is bringing me exactly what I need.” Whenever anxiety arises, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you are in the flow of abundance.

Conclusion: Aligning with the Energy of Abundance

Money isn’t just about hustle or luck — it’s about energy. When you raise your vibration to align with the frequency of wealth, you become a magnet for abundance. Remember that raising your financial vibration is a practice. It’s not about perfection or getting it “right” all the time, but about consistently choosing to operate from a place of abundance, gratitude, and trust.
