I'm deliberately choosing not to set goals or intentions this year. I may change this after January, though. I typically wait until my fiscal year (starting in February) to do any sort of goal setting but definitely not setting resolutions.
If I had to say I'm setting one intention it would be I'm (drastically) lowering my expectations.
2024 has been a weird year. I struggled to get an online business started. What stopped me were the skills needed to do so. I chose the wrong thing to do, I suppose. (An art-based Etsy shop filled with POD, digital printables, and escape rooms.)
I don't have graphic design skills and I don't have artistic (painting and drawing) in my DNA.
So this year I'll take a step back and work on art as a hobby, from there no idea about the rest of my life. That's okay. There are 12 months to change my mind. :)

You've got the right attitude! Sometimes things work and sometimes they don't. When they don't, being able to pivot like you've done is the key.
