This time of year, most people start to feel like they’re ready to give up.
There’s a reason New Years’ Resolutions are a cliche - because most people quit on them.
And to be clear - I’m recording this Sept 24 - 2020. But no matter when you’re listening - whether it’s 2020, 2025, or the year 3000 - the truth is, the temptation to quit - the overwhelm, the challenges - they’re ALWAYS there.
2020 is a year that will go down in history for many reasons. I’ve joked about it, but it for sure has created many moments that I will never forget - and while our parents told us stories about walking to school uphill both ways in the snow, I will tell my daughter that I walked uphill, in the snow, to stand in line to get TOILET PAPER.
Yup, it’s been a crazy year and here we are - it’s now the fall and I know what a lot of you are thinking.
A lot of you feel overwhelmed by all that 2020 has brought, wondering how you even begin planning for the future, and feel like you’ve wasted the year.
When it comes to the conversation of goal-setting, I’ve heard you tell me “Lisa, what’s the point?”
When you think about what you want to celebrate December 31st, a lot of you have told me “I’m going to celebrate 2020 being over.”
But I want you to know that I hear people ask me “what’s the point” and tell me they “want the year to be over” - EVERY year.
Now - to be clear. If you haven’t felt disappointed, overwhelmed, scared, anxious, uncertain, and you haven’t ugly cried at least a few times this year - you probably aren’t human. This has been an unprecedented year - and the fact that you’re still here, listening to this, tells me something:
If you’re still listening to this, there’s something inside of you that not even 2020 can take down.
There’s something inside you - an untapped, unrealized potential - that really deserves to come out.
By the end of this episode, you'll see that you actually already did accomplish a lot in 2020. You're going to stop wondering what's the point of setting goals. You’ll get clear on what you should focus on. You’ll see how you can set goals without them being overwhelming so you can set yourself up for the rest of this year and even for 2021. If you're curious about what you can realistically get done - oh, I got you covered.
This episode’s a quickie - but get ready for an inspirational Heart to Heart from me to you cuz I know what's possible for you. What you're capable of, and what you're missing out on if you don't do yourself or, your life, your family, and your dreams the intention and attention you and them deserve.
Here are the juicy bits you can look forward to:
