Becoming Anchored S4E1: Permission for This New Year to Be Different

Updated on  

In this episode of Becoming Anchored, licensed therapists and hosts Lauren Jackson and Laura Deneen discuss how to practice realistic goal setting, self-compassion, and aligning actions with personal values in the new year.

Key Takeaways From This Episode:

  1. Setting Intentional Goals: When setting goals, we encourage you to practice curiosity, mindfulness, and being true to yourself. Be intentional by reflecting on what goals might align with your current season of life and personal capacity. 
  2. Evaluate and Adapt with Compassion: As you continue in the new year, we invite you to pause, assess your progress, and adjust goals when needed. Rather than internalizing unmet expectations as a personal failure, we share how to practice self-compassion instead. 
  3. Intrinsic Self-Worth: Give yourself permission to opt out of setting resolutions. We encourage you to detach your self-worth from achievement. We believe that you are enough, regardless of what you accomplish or how others perceive you, and hope you can embrace your innate self-worth this new year.

This episode is full of insightful reflections and practical advice on value-driven goal setting and personal growth.
