Does it feel like there’s something hypocritical about New Year’s resolutions? They run counter to the idea that we should accept who we are. That we should give ourselves grace.
Resolutions shouldn’t be so grand that we set ourselves up to fail; they shouldn't attempt to "fix" what we've been told is broken, either ("I should be skinnier! I should make more $$!"). There’s a way to work towards personal development without believing you are deficient, and author Tyler Moore is here to show us how.
Here's a preview:
[10:00] Where can you edit to make the time and space to flourish?
[15:00] Differentiating between becoming the best you can be versus "fixing" what you've been told is broken
[22:00] Clearing mental clutter is an awful lot like decluttering your closet
[27:00] Instead of a New Year's resolution, try 12 monthly 'experiments', instead
[32:00] Why hitching your star to external markers of success rarely works, plus: Don't move the goalpost!
