Resolutions are not just for Jan 1st
The Power of Making Resolutions
Resolutions do not need to rise with the new year’s sun... They can emerge at any twilight hour, whispered between the turning pages of your story.
A Gothic Take on the Art of the Resolution:
The Fresh-Start Feeling
Like the first creak of an old door opening to a forgotten wing of the soul, setting a resolution stirs the dust and awakens possibility.
Self-Reflection in Shadowed Mirrors
Resolutions illuminate what we’ve left behind—and what still haunts us. They offer a candlelit glance into our triumphs, regrets, and desired rebirths.
Brain Alchemy
Goal-setting activates the deeper chambers of the mind—the ancient vaults that spark obsession, focus, and the drive to rise again... transformed.
Focus Like a Raven’s Gaze
A resolution, well-crafted, fixes your gaze on what truly matters, drawing you away from the siren song of distractions.
How to Stay Committed When the Moon Changes Phase:
One Resolution to Rule the Night
Choose one worthy aim. Like an heirloom dagger, wield it with purpose. Many ambitions at once dilute your power.
Be Specific—No Vague Visions
The fog of generality breeds failure. Don’t say “I shall create.” Say, “I will paint one portrait each month beneath the waxing moon.”
Break the Curse, Piece by Piece
Split your larger goal into rituals and routines. Let each small act chip away at the stone until your true form emerges.
Make it Yours, Not Theirs
Don’t conjure a goal because society demands it. Let it echo from within, something you’ve long buried and now dare to unearth.
Chronicle Your Quest
Keep a grimoire—digital or ink-stained—tracking each step, success, or stumble. Even monsters have maps.
BONUS TIP:
Make your resolution S.M.A.R.T.

Time-Bound
In this realm, change doesn't arrive with fireworks—it arrives on silent wings, at dusk. Craft your resolution like a spell. Whisper it into the night. And watch your future rise from the fog, dark and dazzling.
