When it comes to starting a new year, I like to feel like I have some direction, some clarity, and things that I’m working toward. But if I’m honest, I just can’t get excited about making resolutions. I even start to yawn a bit when it comes to intentions and planning.
All of those things used to work for me. They motivated me and made me feel like I had a clear trajectory for the year ahead.
But then I’d go into my old pattern of stress. I’d put so much pressure on myself to achieve, work fast, and to constantly (almost compulsively) produce, create and accomplish – even when… especially when I’d have to really push to make it all happen.
When I did things in this way, part of me felt important. I felt like I was doing something of value. I was earning and proving my worth to the world. And that made me feel like I was contributing in a critical way.
But when I look at how I used to do things from where I am now, I just feel like it was a really exhausting, energy-draining, high-pressure way of living life. I’m very ambitious, but I have zero desire to live out my ambitions in that way!
I still like to start my year with clarity, direction and inspiration. But now it comes from a very different place inside of me. And because of that inner shift, I’m able to be ambitious while loving and honoring myself all along the way.
I’m hosting my first Facebook LIVE of 2020 on Monday January 13th @ 12pm ET for a workshop on how to get what you want in 2020…
… Without the constant push, force, pressure, fear and perfectionism that can so easily slide into self-punishment, overwhelm, exhaustion and depletion.
I’ll share with you my self-honoring practices for:
- The inner shift that sets me up for true success all year long
- Creating my “focus” for the year
- Putting myself first without guilt, shame or apology
- Making certain I’m filling my cup all year long
- Making room for both my responsibilities and my desires
- Honoring myself and the ones I love all along the way
Being true to yourself is the inner revolution that changes everything.
Come join me tomorrow, January 13th at 12pm ET to learn how to create a 2020 that’s true to you!
I’ll see you there!
Love,
Alicia
