I chose not to set goals or resolutions a few years ago, what I do instead.

If you feel you need to set resolutions for yourself, choose only one thing, not a list. If you have a list, choose the thing that’s most fun or weird! Why should life be more difficult? Why not make it fun? Instead of trying to become a gym rat if you’re not, why not take a belly-dancing class?

If you feel you need to set goals, ask yourself this question and fill in te blank: “I have always wanted to do ____________.” Then go ahead and do it! Even if you start with the smallest task needed to accomplish your goal, you’ve started.

Do we need to “Floor our Gas Pedal” all the time? “Consciously Uncoupling” from the “Grind Culture”.

A huge part of successfully navigating the flow of new circumstances seeking to impose conditions on us is mentally disengaging from expectations!

Expectations, ours, and our perception of others are in themselves huge stressors. Expectations often aren’t real but are what we imagine other people want from us, and vice versa.

Expectations often are very unrealistic and pay no attention to what is actually going on or what could actually happen. Expectations are often exaggerations of wishes and desires, so they need to be cut down to size, to fit with reality.
