Your 2022 Jump Start: Set Yourself Up for Success in the New Year - Part 2 Dec 15, 2021

Show notes

You can't always believe what you think. Too often, the stories we tell ourselves hold us back. These "limiting beliefs" go undetected because they seem like reality—and as these stories shape our behavior, they become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Goal setting invites us to root out limiting beliefs and replace them with better stories. By setting goals, we defiantly declare that our past doesn't define our future. The possibilities are greater than we dared hope.

Show notes

Before we can look toward the new year, we have to confront the losses that lie behind us. We start by lamenting. As we do, our grief brings with it unexpected gifts—self-compassion, lessons learned, clarity about our priorities, and a deeper resilience. These gifts help lay the groundwork for imagining and moving toward a future filled with hope.
