42. Feeling the New Year, New You Pressure or Wanna Start Strong? How to Enter the New Year on the Right Foot, While Avoiding All the Toxic Messages

Hey friend! It's that time of the year again, the last day of 2022 where we are now probably scrambling, or feeling pressure to have all our goals planned & perfectly mapped out, to create all those New Year's resolutions that are gonna help us get right on track to improve our lives, to do MORE so we can BE more.

I'm gonna give you some tough love today and a different way of thinking about New Years resolutions/goals as we finish up 2022 and enter 2023, in light of all the messaging you're likely being inundated with, and those pressures to hit the ground running at a fast pace.

In this episode I share some traps we often fall into, and important reminders to keep in in your heart as you approach this new year, to help you filter out the narratives & messaging that won't serve you so you can stay grounded & feel more empowered to pursue those big dreams, without sacrificing or losing sight of what matters most.

Our hope is not in the New Year -- but in the one, who makes all things new.

Our worth is not in those goals we set or accomplish -- but in Christ who gave himself up for us.

Give yourself the time & space to reflect, ground your identity in the Lord, & discern your goals & intentions for this New Year, making sure they're filtered through God's word and the truth of who you are & who He calls you to be.

You get to set your own pace, you get to choose your goals, you are not behind, failing, or missing out if you don't have everything figured out as we hit January 1st.

You don't have to compare yourself to or keep up with what other people are doing or make your new goals out of guilt, shame, or obligation.

Let's ensure they're truly aligned, values-based, and God-centered.
