WEEKLY RECAP December 28th, 2019 - January 3rd, 2020 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, December 28th (AM) You might have trouble focusing on what is uplifting and productive. That doesn’t mean you’re broken. | | |
|
| | Saturday, December 28th (PM) Are you a good friend to yourself? Good friends are honest but gentle and compassionate. Good friends are there for you... | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, December 29th (AM) Changing things in your life might very well feel unnatural, awkward, or even “fake” for a minute. Let it feel that way. Make the changes anyway. | | |
|
| | Sunday, December 29th (PM) Your past does not have to be your future. Your past can INFORM your future— but you get to decide how. Does your past encourage you to be who you want to be, who you aspire to be? | | |
|
|
| | Monday, December 30th (AM) Get curious about what, specifically, would need to happen for you to persevere through difficulty. What skills would you need to learn? What tools would you need to develop? | | |
|
| | Monday, December 30th (PM) Goals direct our focus and efforts, and we need that. But don’t get married to a goal. Regularly reassess your goals. You’ll outgrow some of them. You’ll lose interest in others. | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, December 31st (Blog) "BABY STEPS AREN'T ALWAYS EASY. BUT THEY WORK." We can realistically see ourselves taking baby steps. We can wrap our brains around those teeny, tiny steps. We do things that we think we can do, and we avoid things we don’t think we can do. | | |
|
| | Tuesday, December 31st (PM) You are more than other peoples’ responses to you. It’s true that we inform and influence others’ responses to us— but how they respond to us is ultimately more about them than it is about us. You’re not a loser or unattractive because someone isn’t into you romantically. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, January 1st (AM) Don’t get freaked out because your progress is messy and inconsistent. Most progress is. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, January 1st (PM) You don’t have to get it right on the first shot. Experiment with it. | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, January 2nd (Blog): “DON'T MAKE IT COMPLICATED, AND DON'T MAKE IT HARD.” If you want a change to stick, make it as simple as possible and make it as easy as possible. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? You’d be surprised at how often we overcomplicate these things— then make them as hard as possible to follow through on. | | |
|
| | Thursday, January 2nd (PM) Don’t treat yourself like a jerk, and don’t treat yourself like the enemy. You might be frustrated with your behavior. You might be frustrated with your past choices. You might wish you weren’t entrenched in your current patterns. But none of that will change by you going to war with yourself. You don’t self-sabotage because you’re your own enemy. Your self-sabotage is in some way trying to protect you. | | |
|
|
| | Friday, January 3rd (AM) It’s normal to have regrets. The past you was probably doing the best they could. Give the you of years past a break. | | |
|
| | Friday, January 3rd (PM) Accepting that you are inherently worthy in a culture that values achievement and ability is an act of courage. | | |
