…instead of resolutions or goals.
I’ve read a lot of psychology stuff this year, and one thing I’ve come across a couple of times is that there’s apparently evidence backing up the idea that people who focus on the process instead of on the outcome are happier and more successful.
Now apply that idea to New Year’s resolutions.
Don’t make resolutions. Don’t think of goals and outcomes. Focus on the process and the journey. Think of what you want to do – on the doing, not the having done.
I want to be careful with myself. I want to keep myself safe, sheltered and shielded. I need rest and comfort and support. I need ease and relief. Lightness instead of tightness.
