Create Your Best Year
An Inspirational Guide to What You Want the Most This Year
From Me to You
Hi, I’m Clara Angelina Diaz Anderson —executive coach, consultant, teacher, mom, wife and everyday dreamer. For years I watched people—including myself—set huge resolutions every January only to feel defeated by March. I knew there had to be a gentler, wiser way to create real change. That’s why I wrote Create Your Best Year. This book is my invitation to slow down, get clear, and build a year that feels aligned with your values—not someone else’s checklist. This is not a quick-fix or a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a living framework you can return to again and again.
What You’ll Find Inside
Get honest with yourself about what matters most in every area of your life—career, health, relationships, finances, spirituality, joy.
Set intentions and goals that feel natural and energizing, not overwhelming.
Create weekly practices that build momentum without burning you out.
Reflect and adjust so you stay true to your vision even when life shifts.
These are the same tools I use with my private coaching clients—and the ones I use in my own life.
Who This Book Is For
If you’ve ever said: “I start strong but I can’t seem to finish” or “I know there’s more in me than what I’m living right now”, this book was written for you. Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent juggling everything, or a leader ready for the next chapter, Create Your Best Year will meet you exactly where you are.
A Glimpse Inside
“When you begin the year without clarity, you end up following someone else’s priorities. The first step is asking: Who do I want to be at the end of this year?
Once you answer that, your goals become stepping stones—not the destination.” That’s the heart of the process: start with being, then choose the doing.
