yesterday, i was considering taking some time off to review the year and make some plans for 2025. then, i received an email from david spink, one of my favorite weekly newsletters, where he discussed this almost mythical "new year's resolution" and how to go about it differently this time.
i found it both very resonating and quite eye-opening. in the email, he shares a free notion documentation to follow through and start warming up for the new year. he said this exercise takes a couple of weeks, so i've already started with the first chapter: reviewing the year.
the main difference is that we tend to go for the things that are far outside of us (based on who we are currently), and then we make sure to harass ourselves constantly to go get them and judge ourselves at the end of the year on how well we match with what we set out to do.
in his version, he says that instead of trying to expand through outward goals - which usually stem from satisfying those nasty emotional wounds such as not being enough, not feeling belong, and so on. he says start with getting to know where you're at by discovering your essence, who you are as much as you can, and from there, ascend above through expansion *
in short, it's all about choosing between becoming first and then having it vs going for "having it" first, then finding out, to your surprise, who the hell you became during the process! which is a whole other topic of discussion :)
nice: all
