Are You Happy?

It's that time of year again: the time we give into yet another commercial holiday to buy new calendars, new planners, and gym memberships because we were finally permitted by the societal Gods to start over on the 1st of the year. Are you setting goals that are your own, or are you setting goals that seem like the things you SHOULD be doing to be successful in the eyes of society? For me, New Year's Day is a load of horse sh*t and typically yields goals that aren't sustainable or easily attainable. Naturally, because of this, we typically get discouraged, demotivated, and uninspired, and our once AMAZING "New Year New Me" goals are null and void. So, we tell ourselves we'll just try again next year when we're granted permission to start over again. As we start this new month, I encourage you to ask yourself how you want to feel instead of worrying about all the things you need to do and all the goals you need to hit. If you focus on how you WANT to feel, I’m sure you’ll be surprised as to how much your goals or resolutions may change as a result of reframing the thinking behind setting usually arbitrary goals based on societal norms of what’s successful and what’s not. Not sure how to do that? That's what this episode is for, so sit back, relax, and enjoy!
