Before you run full speed ahead into the New Year, take one more moment of rest. You’ll need to care for yourself properly and plan rest to show up as your best self. This episode talks about how we retreat and renew in the New Year.
I’m so excited for 2023! This year represents a clean slate. It’s full of possibilities, and we can go anywhere from this point. As we embrace this reset, we get another chance to go inwards and remind ourselves of what really matters before setting out on this year’s journey.
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP119’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. After a flurry of activity in my personal and professional life, I can slow things down and take more time for myself. I’m giving myself some needed self-care instead of rushing to meet life’s demand.
On our Wise Walk, I talk about how you can retreat and renew in the New Year. Each year you’re held accountable to a balance sheet of your goals. There’s no pressure. It’s more like you get to look at your progress and update how you manage your journey. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
- What are you most excited about as you look at the year ahead and you see your year as this clean slate?
- What gets you excited and lights you up?
- Where do you want to go?
- What do you want to do?
- How do you want to show up for yourself?
- What goals are you going to set and how will you go after them?
- Are you taking time to slow down and go inward?
- Where is your heart calling you?
- Are you feeling energized to take on the year?
You get to start over and make something new this year. Since you are the CEO of your life, you get to consciously choose each intentional step of 2023.
Be okay with giving yourself time to rest. It could be one of the best decisions you make. Retreat and renew into the New Year with these Wise Walk questions:
-
- Where in your life can you take a metaphorical smoke break so you can take time to go inward?
- Where can you set intentional breaks?
- How can you step outside of your normal life to give yourself a retreat?
- Are you allowing yourself to detach from your to-dos and recharge your energy?
- Can you have a staycation if you aren’t able to travel far?
- Where can you enjoy the intention of a retreat?
