Don’t Set Goals, Reflect and Become a Confident Creator

 

At the beginning of the year, we are constantly bombarded with “NEW YEAR, NEW YOU” bullshit. The second we turn the calendar to a new page, we feel pressured to overhaul our lives. We’re encouraged to set lofty goals, restrict ourselves, and follow someone else’s plan on how we can become our “best self.” This episode isn’t just a middle finger to this ideology (although in a way it is), it’s a reminder that we’re still in the dead of winter… and setting goals for what you want to do, without being clear on who you want to be, will leave you feeling lost and disappointed year-round.

 

Today’s episode is created as guidance to help you reflect on the past year and intentionally create the life and artwork you desire. I have several questions and exercises that aren’t about HOW to perform, but instead how to listen to yourself, how you feel, and the impact that you want to create. I’m also sharing some of my own reflections, transitions, and desires to help inspire you to dream as big as you can!



On this episode, we talk about:

  • Giving yourself permission to celebrate your wins and treat your losses with comparison
  • Letting old goals and dreams go to make room for the next version of yourself
  • The questions you can ask yourself to create clarity on who you want to become
  • The importance of grounding in your identity before trying to develop an action plan
