You’re Not Behind
If you already feel behind, you’re not.
And if it feels strange that the year has already jumped ahead with plans, bookings, and expectations, you’re not alone in that either. For some people, it feels like we skipped right over the end of the year and went straight into what’s next.
I’m hearing a mix of things right now. Financial worries. Obligations people don’t really want. Guilt about resolutions they haven’t even started. And at the same time, some real excitement about new possibilities.
Beginning the New Year Feeling Lighter
The days between the end of one year and the start of another can feel strange.
You often feel this pressure to figure out what you want, what you’ll change, who you’ll be next.
But you don’t actually need resolutions, and you don’t need to reinvent yourself on day one (who can live up to that kind of pressure?!).
Sometimes the most helpful thing is just noticing what you’re ready to leave behind.
