#intentions

Lately, my sessions have been filled with clients reflecting on the tension that often arises during periods of transition. Some feel proud of their growth, while others feel discouraged by goals left unmet or intentions that quietly fell away as life became overwhelming. Many wonder what to do with this disappointment and whether to carry these unfinished hopes forward. As an art therapist, I guide clients toward practices rooted not in self-judgment but in intentionality, embodiment, and creative self-understanding.

Between now and the winter solstice, write down 13 things you'd like to see happen in 2026. Don't write them down as "I wish," "I want," or "I'd like," but rather "I have" or "I am" statements, she specifies. You might do one or two a week, making sure they feel true to you and are things that hold meaning. When you're done writing one down, fold it and hold onto it.
