: ) Use what you have! If you are someone who has been stuck in indecision lately, or feeling fear about diving into new things, practice what I call, “making a mess!” Use whatever you have available to write with, and on! It doesn’t have to be perfect. They are great tools if you choose to use them, but if you only do this blog series, and use scrap paper to write your answers, that’s great too. You don’t need any thing to live this life well. Do you need the PowerSheets and book to have an intentional year? No. The PowerSheets* and my book have many more steps, and helpful prompts, than I’ve listed in this series. Here’s what you can expect in this five-part series: Each day, I’m going to walk through a mix of goal uncovering steps from my first book, Make it Happen (which you can sample here), the 2017 PowerSheets, and I have some new ones that we’ve never done before! But you can choose to cultivate what matters, right where you are. Good goals–the kind we are going to uncover together–give you direction, and unending motivation. You can’t simultaneously do it all and do life well. The alternative to uncovering good goals is going through the motions, not feeling confidence that you’re on the right path, lacking motivation, and not taking care of what you’ve been given well. Whether you’re a mom, a student, a business owner, in transition, in the wait-in any place where you are in life, we’re going to let go of guilt-filled resolutions, and embrace a whole new way of doing this goal setting thing. For those of you like me who do not like traditional goal setting, you are in the right place!įrom hereon out, when I mention “goals” or “goal setting,” know that I’m talking about good, grace-filled goals. Uncovering good goals is not about doing it all it’s about doing what matters. Over the last six years, as my life has dramatically changed, so has this goal uncovering process. I’ve studied what makes people feel unmotivated, and I’ve discovered some pretty amazing not-so-secret secrets to getting unstuck. A little intentional forethought goes a long way! Good goals are about stewarding what you’ve been given well: your relationships, your money, your possessions, your work, your children, your home, your health, and your time. We uncover intentional, less-is-more goals. We don’t do traditional pressure-filled, do-it-all goal setting around here. I have a lot of things to take care of in my life (like you), and I don’t have room for a whole lot more (I’m guessing that’s like you too), and I get tense even thinking about the pressure to accomplish something beyond my current capacity ( areyouwithme?). But, the most important thing you should know about me before we start this series is this: I don’t write about goal setting because I love goal setting. The words “goal setting” have often given me the heebie jeebies. I’m a mom to three, a business owner, and I live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. If you are new to this series, welcome-you’re in for a treat this year! I’m Lara. 2016 was the hardest and very best year of our lives. We had just matched for our adoption, and had no idea what the year ahead would look like. I declared 2016 “The Year of Getting Messy”-embracing imperfect grace-filled progress-and that’s exactly what it was. One year ago today, I shared some big news with you.
