As you approach the new year, do you focus on results-oriented New Year’s resolutions, or do you prefer to set broader intentions for the year?
In a time where we are overbooked, over-committed, and weighed down by all that is going on in the world, messages promising the results we crave can make us vulnerable to feeling like we are doing something wrong for feeling out of sorts because we do not do life in a prescribed manner.
So many offerings are a recipe for failing in our hopes for end-of-the-year plans.
Yet, finding a focused practice for examining how you manage your time and make decisions that align with your values and how you live and experience life can delight you while bringing you clarity in a chaotic world.
