Not only do you NEVER have to think of a New Year’s resolution again, because ta-da! You know exactly what you want to check off in your life, but it will always stay in the back of your mind as time goes on.

And this is super freeing because you’re not tied to making any of these happen THIS YEAR; you can tackle them as you move through the different seasons of your life.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t set some achievable goals this year if you want to, but if you lay them out this way, you know what you’re working towards.

And as you go about your days and you cross items from your list, you’re going to feel more content about the direction you’re going in.

Here’s what this looks like in practice: you create different sections. 

For example, life goals, professional goals, creative goals, skill goals, experience goals, travel goals, and social anxiety goals. 

Feel free to get as creative as you want. 

Now, within each section, outline ALL the things you’d love to do, see, achieve, etc., and break each one of those down if you can.

For example, my life goals are: to write a book (and under that, I can put the goal of “starting to write”, “finishing first draft”, “editing first draft”) and so on up until the book is published, and as I hit each milestone, I cross it off the list.

Under Skill goals, I have become fluent in Dutch, and I can break that down by passing level 1, then 2, then 3.

Then I have my social anxiety goals such as participating in an improv class, singing at karaoke, taking a dance class, and doing a YouTube live. 

So these I can also break down. 

The cool part about adding social anxiety goals as a section is that you’re always aware of what you’d love to do if it weren’t for social anxiety. 

You can visibly see where and how social anxiety is holding you back, and you can start tackling some of the things. 

Literally just dump everything that comes to mind as it relates to activities, events, and actions you’re unable to take or do because of social anxiety.

It’s super powerful and easy to manage. I have the list on a notion board and always look at it to see how I’m tracking.

You can start with whichever one you fancy, whether it’s going for the hardest beast of all or the easiest bug to squash. 

Not that I promote squashing bugs, but I make sure my kids know that every creature is sacred and has their value. But anyway, you know what I mean.

I’ll be working on getting more comfortable speaking my opinions online, and being a more visible activist for the causes that matter to me. 

So, let me know what it will be for you! You can always send me an e-mail at [email protected].
