My guiding word for 2024 is ALIVE. I haven’t made a new year’s resolution in a long time, but in 2024, my intention is to make ALIVE my guiding daily mantra. I intend to inhale the feeling of being alive on each in-breath and whisper the mantra of alive on millions of out-breaths in 2024. It is a continuation of my practice of being present, a practice that has come alive for me over the course of 2023.

It is annoyingly Instagramable. It is cliché: Be Present. Stay in the present moment.
