Episode 5: What happens if we shift our relationship to the new year

Episode Summary: 

Presence is more important than time. As we go into the new year, it is very easy to get lost in the shuffle of, “new year, new me.” Instead, what if we were to shift from having a new goal and a “clean slate,” to reflecting on the previous year and honing in on a standard practice or process? I like to think of goal setting as deciding to do something and then taking the steps to achieve it. And then ask myself, what works for me? What does consistency look like in achieving this goal?

Listen in on today’s episode as I discuss why the process of working towards your goals, dreams, or plans is more important than the progress we make in reaching or completing them. I encourage you to explore what your is relationship with goal setting? And to be curious about doing things differently.
