4 Tips for a Joyful New Year: Embrace it with Ease


Listen Later

Are you feeling the  pressure to craft the perfect year? 


I was, until I wasn't…I don't know about you, but it seems like everyone want's you to ‘create the best year of your life’ or 'create your best year yet."


While many are busy with their 2024 New Year’s Resolutions that have a small chance of succeeding, some of us are feeling overwhelmed with social media posts about goal setting and goal planning or New Year’s Intentions, in order to create our “best year yet.” 


So, today's solo episode, I decided to take a different approach, because if I was feeling overwhelmed by all the marketing that was being thrown at me, I figured you might be too. 

 

So instead of goal setting or New Year's resolutions let's focus on how we want to feel in 2024 so we can show up as our authentic self.


In this episode, I share:

  • Why New Year's Resolutions often fail or lead us astray from ourselves.
  • The freedom that comes with ditching traditional resolutions for personal growth...ahhh.
  • Three pivotal questions to ask yourself as you begin the new year.
  • Why small (turtle) steps create lasting lifestyle changes. 
  • The importance of honoring your own process as you work toward any goal.
  • Two quotes that I came across this week that gave me permission to ease into the new year without the pressure of constant self-improvement and will help you too!


This year, choose what brings you joy and happiness so you can soar into midlife and beyond with intentional living. 


Here’s to easing into 2024 together!


XO,


Laurie
