Steeped in Hope is a virtual marriage and family therapy practice serving clients in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey.

We help individuals, couples, and families set and meet goals to live the best versions of their lives.

Unlike resolutions, intentions encompass a variety of behaviors and lead to an overarching feeling. It can help to create a change that touches all parts of the cognitive triangle (thoughts, feelings, behaviors) and change your whole life for the better.

01/02/2025

Think of behaviors or experiences that support this intention. Using the above example, maybe going to a meetup group is really nerve wracking for me. But if my intention for the year is connection, then that can serve as a catalyst for pushing through the nerves. Challenge yourself to engaged in behaviors that you’ve identified that support this intention.

When you feel like you have a good handle on this past year, starting thinking ahead. What do you want out of this year? Maybe you’re someone who has felt lonely and disconnected and looking to the new year, you’d like to make friends and feel like you’re part of a community. Is there a phrase or word that you feel like encompasses how you’d like to feel? The above example might lead someone to have “connection” as an intention for the new year. Let this word or phrase serve as an anchor point throughout the year. If my intention is “connection”, then when I’m prioritizing experiences, events, or obligations in my year, I’m going to put those that support connection higher on the list.

How might you set these?
This is the tough part for many people. They’re worried that people will be upset or angry. They’re worried that they’ll be disappointing. They don’t want to have the fight that feels like will inevitably follow.
More often than not, it will be better coming from the partner for whom it is THEIR family of origin. (so everyone navigates and shares the news with their own parents and siblings).
Accept that sometimes it’s going to be frustrating for the receiving party to hear what you have to say. They might be bummed at the decision that you made. That’s okay. That’s not insurmountable. That’s not going to cost you your relationship.

SO how do you do this when it comes to your partner’s loved ones? Well, first, a conversation with your partner is imperative. You need to figure out together how you want your life to feel and what that means with respect to each of your families of origin.
Maybe it’s important to you guys that you have privacy. So maybe a boundary that you set is that family needs to give a heads up before coming over.
Maybe it’s important to you guys that your finances are just between the two of you. So maybe the boundary that you set it that finances are not conversation for public consumption.
Maybe you guys are really busy and being able to reconnect as a couple or your shared immediate family on the weekends is important to you. Maybe the boundary that you set is that you go over and hang out with families of origin every other week or once a month.
Your boundaries as a couple should flow from your shared values.
