Virtual Weekly Muster Episode 162: Preparation for Your 2025 Experience

Podcast Description:
What if we approached 2025 not as a list of goals to achieve but as an experience to shape and embrace? In this episode, we explore Preparation for Your 2025 Experience, shifting the focus from rigid goal-setting to cultivating a mindset that values growth, discovery, and the journey itself.
Each Weekly Muster begins with a 20-minute check-in, where participants share their personal wellness scores (on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 meaning "all is well"). This roundtable creates a safe space for veterans to connect, reflect, and prepare for today’s topic.
The second half of the session focuses on how thinking of the year ahead as an experience-not just a series of goals-can change your perspective and open the door to new possibilities.
What You’ll Learn:
Reframing the Year: Why thinking of 2025 as an experience instead of a checklist can lead to deeper fulfillment.
Reflection: How would your perspective change if you approached the year as an opportunity to explore and grow?
Impact on Veterans: How this approach can help veterans create meaningful transitions, reduce pressure, and foster a sense of purpose.
Practical Preparation: Steps to reflect on past experiences, align with your values, and build a foundation for the year ahead.
The Bigger Picture: Why "the best is yet to come" and how striving for growth-not perfection-keeps us moving forward.
Through Inquiry, Reflection, Dialogue, and Application, this episode equips veterans with the tools to approach 2025 with intention and openness, creating a year filled with meaningful experiences and opportunities.
Hosted by Dr. Rich Nicholson, PsyD, this episode encourages veterans to focus on the journey of 2025, setting the stage for authentic growth and discovery before diving into goal-setting.
