I love this! I wrote about the overwhelm of goal setting recently and this provides a great alternative. I will definitely consider this going into the new year.
Thank you for these gentle steps to getting past those insane goals.
I have a big audacious goal, but I (for once) have a plan that involves little steps, including realigning my Substack (and reducing it a bit). I have a couple of other “I need to do this” goals, but one’s in process and we know what to do. The other is a bit muddled, but I think I can get there.
I love the toddler description 😂 that is so on target!!!
Yeah, I’m afraid I filed for divorce and figured out the rest later. But in my defense I had drawn the line 24 years before and he didn’t just cross it, he danced a damn conga over it. 😤 7 days later he got papers and 31 days later I was divorced. That was when I was 45 and at 62 I can confidently say ‘I did the right thing’ shoulda actually done it sooner 😒 BUT, do I now have PTSD & panic attacks? the answer is yes 🙄 but I’m still better off.
Thank you for this. It’s good to know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Approaching goals and change from a perspective of respecting the nervous system is so important. I appreciate the mental shift.
Perfect timing and just what I needed to hear… I KNOW these things but reading your clear and compassionate words makes me sigh with relief. The perfect balm to start the day, month, and year. Thank you!

Thank you, your writing has been a lifeline for me since I found you a month or so ago.
