Resolution Averse? Make Lists 📋


Happy Wednesday Reader!

Enjoy the following highlights from the latest wednesday Wisdom!

Inspiration

Let yourself begin anew. Pack your bags. Choose carefully what you bring, because packing is an important ritual. Take along some humility and lessons of the past. Toss in some curiosity and excitement about what you haven’t yet learned. Say your goodbyes to those you’re leaving behind. Don’t worry who you will meet or where you will go. The way has been prepared. The people you are to meet will be expecting you. A new journey has begun. Let it be magical. Let it unfold.

— Melody Beattie, Journey to the Heart

Idea

I'm not one for resolutions so when I saw Suleika Jaouad's idea to make lists for the New Year instead, it inspired me to give it a whirl. I love her approach because it allows us to reflect on what we’ve accomplished, be thoughtful about what we want in our life, understand what might hold us back, identify and appreciate the tools we have at our fingertips, and encourages us to dream big.

Inquiry

  1. Make a list of everything, both big and small, that you are proud of from the past year.
  2. Writes a list of what you yearn for — what do you want and desire?
  3. Creates a list of what causes you anxiety — from the most mundane to the apocalyptic.
  4. Write down the resources, skills, and practices that have worked for you in the past and that you can rely upon in the new year.
  5. Take five or ten minutes and write down every wild, unrealistic, ridiculous, absurd idea and dream.
