How's All That Working For Ya?

73. Goals, Guilt, and Getting Real: How’s Your January Going?

Listen Later

Why is it that every time January rolls around, everyone's talking about resolutions, diets, and gym memberships? What if we’re just not feeling it? Or what if we want to do all the things, but life already feels crazy?

In this episode, we’re exploring the tension between that yearly pressure to set new goals and our natural desire to embrace the slower rhythms of winter.

Episode Highlights

  1. The internal pushback & overwhelm with setting goals in January
  2. Achieving more vs embracing rest
  3. The “right” time to set new goals
  4. Wisdom and guidance from Jon Acuff and Kendra Adachi
  5. What nature teaches us about rest
  6. Reflecting on how our goals align with our current life demands
