What worked once may not be what you need anymore. Embrace that. Recognize what you need now and release any guilt or negative feelings about not continuing habits that no longer serve you. Embrace the You that You are Now

Setting Resolutions is the common practice for the new year and even though we know we won’t keep them, we set them anyway. Why? Why do we do this? I think it’s because we want to do better. We want to make a change. And the new year feels like a good time to do it. I agree. The problem is we have this all or nothing mentality.   That’s not reality. There is no such thing as perfect. Instead of all or nothing - let’s focus on sustainability. Listen to this episode for how not to set New Year's Resolutions.

As we close out the year, I encourage you to take some time to reflect. Set goals another day. Use this time to simply celebrate you. No need to dwell on what you didn’t accomplish or the things that didn’t go your way - simply focus on what you want more of.

Do this with me and then share with me so I can celebrate with you!

Stress is high for many right now. While we can't change that, we can shift from a constant state of worry to focusing on what is in your control. Focus on your blessings. Focus on what you DO have instead of what you don’t. By doing this you’re training your brain to find the good.

Start with choosing just one thing to celebrate or be grateful for. Sit with that feeling for a bit. We're not ignoring the worry, stress and anxiety - we acknowledge it and then choose different.

Quotes, books and even people can easily turn from sources of inspiration to sources of jealousy. We focus on what we lack - what we don’t have or have not achieved. But what if it’s just a habit? What if instead of seeing those who’ve succeeded ahead of you as competition, you saw them as allies? What if you saw people sharing their success as helpful? I know that's easier said than done, so listen in for my 3 steps to turn that jealousy into inspiration.
