What Are You Doing Differently This Year?
Small shifts, gentle changes, and the quiet power of beginning again.
What Are You Doing Differently This Year?
I’ve been sitting with this question a lot lately:
What am I doing differently this year?
Not what are my big goals or resolutions. I’ve made those lists before — sometimes they help, sometimes they don’t. I find most people give up on their resolutions in the first couple of months of the new year and ultimately it causes disappointment or even shame.
This year, I want sustainable changes, even if that means baby steps getting there. I am practicing more self-love and acceptance. More consistency.
Last year taught me so much. Some lessons were gentle. Some knocked me sideways.
I don’t want to keep repeating the same patterns just because they’re familiar. It gets to a point where it is exhausting. That is when we know we are ready for lasting improvements.
It is far to easy to get locked into comfort zones. But year after year it feels like I am running on a hampster wheel and nothing changes. At some point we have to make intentional conscious decisions to move forward in life.
