D.I.Y. Rock Star Rewind: This year’s fresh start was HARD… 🙉 THIS helped…. (January 2025)
Struggles with 2025 Vision Board…
Nearly done with January and, SURPRISE!--I am ONLY just about to update our vision board…. There have been WAAAY more things to consider this year than in the last few, so it has taken me LONGER to figure out what we can do, what we want to do, and what is going to get us to a re-imagined list of BIG Vision Goals, which really isn’t as easy as I had imagined. (Below are some links if you’d like to make your OWN vision board.)
Get your creative vision organized and track your goals for the upcoming year.

A helpful exercise…
Here’s an exercise that Cyber PR’s Ariel Hyatt shared that helped me move the process forward. It’s called The 3 H’s: Hero, Holding, Hindsight. It helped me look at what happened last year before moving on to deciding on THIS year’s goals.

Steps…. 📝
Part 1: HERO
Write this: “As it turns out, I’m a Superhero, and here’s why…”
Think about the ways you’ve been a hero this year. Did you create something marvelous? Did you help a loved one? Or navigate a personal challenge? The key is to recognize and celebrate only victories—big or small.
Part 2: HOLDING
Write out what you're struggling with very gently, by completing the following statements:
“I see that you feel uncertain because ______ .
I see that you feel sad because ______ .
I see how much energy it takes to ______.”
Then say, “I see all of this, and I hold you with kindness.”
You cannot move through your struggles without recognizing the resilience you are showing in the face of difficulties. Hyatt adds, “If you are not yet through them, just hold yourself with kindness.”

Part 3: HINDSIGHT
Take out your calendar from 2024 and reflect by answering the following prompts with big–or small–moments of GOOD things for each month:
“In January, I ____ …
In February, I ____ …
Etc….”
These are your triumphs and it is incredibly motivating to see them written out. –Twelve moments of SUCCESS help you realize how far you’ve come and what you have accomplished.
Why Does it Matter?
This ISN’T just a “feel good” exercise, because by acknowledging your strengths, struggles, and successes is foundational for your energy and mindset. Releasing and marketing your music takes incredible courage, and when you’re not recognizing what you bring to this process, it feels infinitely harder. This exercise aligns you with your own awesomeness and fuels your ability to share your work with authenticity and joy.
So, take this moment for yourself. Reflect. Celebrate. Hold yourself with gentleness. That’s what I DID and it helped calm and re-center me in this weird time of Bruce’s continued recovery–when music has had to take a back seat to ACTUAL physical day-to-day living.
