158. Breaking Down Homestead Goals: How to Move Past Overwhelm and Take Action | Danielle of Jones Roots

1 hour 6 minutes

No matter what stage of homesteading you are in, the list of tasks to complete and projects to tackle is seemingly endless. The eagerness to get it all done and see your dreams come to life can easily leave you feeling overwhelmed. Danielle found herself with bigger dreams than she had time and money for, so she created the Run Back to Your Roots 365 challenge to help herself master those skills one by one. Before long, she had thousands of people joining her in each month’s homestead challenge, everything from canning to fermenting to baking bread and more. Join me for this conversation with Danielle as we dive into what it looks like to pursue your dreams little by little.

In this episode, we cover:

How it is possible to homestead on rented property

The importance of learning homestead skills even before you have property

How to get started when you want to learn everything at once

Shifting your mindset to let go of perfection and accept failure

Finding the time to learn new skills when you already have a full plate

Getting over the hump of starting something new until it becomes second nature

Breaking down the practical beginning steps of going after your goals

Clearly defining your “why” behind pursuing your goals

Structuring your days to work toward your goals little by little

When you have to put some of your homestead dreams on hold to tend to other areas of your life

Helpful tools we each use to manage our to-do lists

Choosing what to let go of on overwhelming days or in overwhelming seasons

Holding on to your peace in the midst of working hard for your goals
