AI Prompt of the Week ✨

Boost your AI skills with a weekly dose of Prompt Engineering magic.

Set Your Theme for 2025: A Year with Purpose 🎯

The start of a new year is the perfect time to set the tone for the months ahead. Instead of traditional resolutions, I focus on a central theme or word—a guiding principle or intention that reflects what you want to create, feel, or experience.

This prompt will help you uncover your theme and align your actions with your vision.

The Word of The Year Prompt:

ChatGPT, I want to set a theme for 2025 that reflects my highest aspirations and values. Please guide me step-by-step to explore the following:
What did I learn about myself in 2024?
What would I like to feel or experience more of in 2025?
How do I want my work, relationships, and growth to align with this?
Based on my reflections, suggest a word, phrase, or idea that encapsulates my theme for 2025 and explain why it fits.

Once you’ve set your theme, let it become a compass for the year—guiding your decisions, focus, and energy. Start your year with intention and watch the magic unfold. 🌟

My Word of The Year this year is - Elevate.

Word of the Year: Your North Star for 2025 ⭐

Your Word of the Year is more than just a word—it’s your compass, guide, and creative North Star for the year ahead. It anchors your energy, intentions, and focus as you navigate what you want to create and who you want to become.

The Experiment:

  1. Discover Your Word: Reflect on what you want 2025 to feel like (use the prompt in the Prompt of the Week section above). Is it about growth, connection, or boldness? Find the word that resonates deeply.
  2. Make It Visible: Write it down, doodle it, or display it somewhere you’ll see daily. Let it remind you of your direction.
  3. Create From It: Let your word shape your writing, videos, or content. How does it inspire your ideas today?

Let your Word of the Year act as your North Star this week, guiding your creativity and aligning you with what matters most. 🌟


Spirituality

Living Aligned: Grounding Your Soul’s Intentions for 2025 🌌

As we step into 2025, it’s easy to focus on goals and resolutions. But beneath all that striving lies something more profound—the alignment between your actions and your soul’s deeper intentions. When we move in harmony with our true selves, the path feels lighter, and life unfolds more naturally.

The Practice:

  1. Tune Inward: Spend a few minutes in stillness. Ask yourself, “What does my soul truly desire this year?” Listen without judgment or rush.
  2. Simplify Your Intentions: Instead of focusing on achieving more, ask, “How can I live more fully in alignment with my higher self?”
  3. Follow the Flow: Notice where life feels effortless and joyful. These are signs you’re moving with, not against, your soul’s energy.

This week, let your guiding intention for 2025 come from within—not from external pressures or expectations. True fulfillment begins with being, not just doing. ✨


Life Update

"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop."​
— Rumi

Over the holidays, I found myself laid flat out with a chest infection. It wasn’t what I had planned, but in hindsight, it was exactly what I needed. I had gone into the break intending “full rest,” and in its wisdom, life ensured I followed through.

This pause allowed me to reflect on my intention for 2025: Elevate. Elevation means embodying my truth and purpose—awakening myself and others and lifting humanity spiritually, physically, and materially through my work.

Being forced to rest reminded me that elevation isn’t always about pushing higher or harder. Sometimes, it’s about slowing down, grounding ourselves, and allowing the next step to rise naturally. Rest is not separate from growth; it’s an essential part of it.

As I enter 2025, I’m holding onto this lesson and letting it guide my choices. Rest, reflection, and intentionality are the foundation from which we rise.

What does “elevation” look like for you this year?

With love and gratitude ❤️‍🔥🙏,
Colin
