Very valuable ideas here. Let’s make 2021 great!!

If you're struggling with setting some goals for 2021, how about a different approach? What if you asked yourself 2 questions: How do I want to feel? How do I want to show up in the world?... I'll share to help get you started. I want to feel energetic, confident and open. And I want to show up with positivity and compassion each and every day. I'm finding this a helpful way to frame my mindset and set my goals around these words. What about you? Does this help? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
