The time between holidays and the end of the year can sometimes feel unsettling and anxiety-inducing. It's when we are both told to rest and, at the same time, to start planning our fresh start and big goals for the new year.
During this time, it's not uncommon for entrepreneurs to feel a sense of anxiety as they try to live up to the idea that they've worked hard all year and now should reward themselves with rest while at the same time feeling guilt over not using their time to create.
If you feel like this time period that society has set aside for rest, reward, and planning doesn't feel quite right, then this episode is for you.
In this episode, I talk with Cindi Miller, licensed counselor, coach, and copywriter for therapists, about navigating this time of year.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Learn how to manage and respect your time so that you can feel confident and comfortable with how you use it.
- Understand how to stop living with the idea that there is a magic reset moment where your progress, goals, and self-care end and begin.
- Identify healthy ways to define your success, break the molds of societal and capitalistic expectations, and protect yourself from burnout.
There is a lot of noise around how to treat the new year with resolutions that create these artificial deadlines that can leave you feeling depleted and defeated if not met or maintained. It's important to learn how to approach goals and accomplishments in a steady and fluid way that also resists the comparison trap.
