Often at this time of year, we become all-consumed with the thing we want to achieve in the year ahead, and perhaps dwell on everything we feel we didn't achieve in the year just gone by.

But here's something I want to share with you if you're finding yourself doing the same and feeling a little overwhelmed by it...

If you are only fixated on the top then its unlikely that you will feel satisfied with the steps you have taken so far, or enjoyed the climb so far, if again your fixation is only on the end result.

Small consistent steps, in the right direction, with full permission to pause and take things at your own pace, for me have always resulted in me achieving way more and meant that I could be happy along the way!

I have realised that there is so much to see, take in and enjoy all the way up the mountain from the bottom to the top.

Getting present and taking care of yourself consistently all year round is highly recommend! Enjoying the highs and being graceful with the lows rather than putting lots of pressure and expectation on one time of year can bring more joy and success.

There is nothing wrong with setting goals and having aspirations! But when they start to cause suffering through our thoughts of failure and inadequacy, then its maybe time to reassess how we motivate ourselves and not put the pressure on for any kind of 'new year new me'!

The current you is more than enough!

Have a lovely 2024, and if you haven't already connected with me on socials , you can follow me @sarietaylorcoaching or drop me a comment below - I'd love to hear from you!
