Episode 055 – five goals for a fresh start
Listen to Episode 055
For most people, a fresh start in the new year means making a change; which usually translates to doing more. This year, instead of adding something to your to-do list, we’re challenging you NOT to do something. Actually, we want you to make an entire list of not-to-do’s. Sounds kind of liberating, doesn’t it?
In this episode, Mike and Misty give you good reasons why you should make that not-to-do list, and offer up four more doable challenges to embrace a reinvention lifestyle this year.
P.S. After you listen to this episode, don’t forget to share your reinvention mission with us.
QUOTE IT
“When we don’t know, we don’t do.” (3:38)
If you really think about what ‘enjoy the journey’ means, I think it gives you permission to be playful.” (12:50)
DIG IN
- Around 7:42 Mike and Misty have a great discussion about the importance of reflecting on why you make certain choices.
- Fast forward to 13:25 to hear a metaphor for establishing new patterns in a story about getting a coloring book for Christmas. (Any guesses on who got the coloring book?)
TAKEAWAYS
- Usually your own fear of the unknown is the biggest barrier preventing you from doing something different.
- Make a not-to-do list to remind yourself to break free of old patterns. It’s much easier to stop doing something than to add another thing to do.
- Choose to be enthused to try something new.
- Look for the lessons.
- Examine why you say no and what you are saying yes to instead…and be honest about it!
