New Year, New You!!
Personally, I don’t typically hop on the New Year’s resolution bandwagon. And, the start of a new year does create a natural transition where we can look at the goals we have for the time ahead and figure out how we can achieve them. This article is packed with some of my favorite Pro-Tips from over the years, to not only help you learn the basics for attaining your goals, but also to give you my short-list of favorite fundamental practices I’m recommitting to for the year ahead. Enjoy!

Get Out Over Your Skis

Transformation, by definition, is never safe. To transform an aspect of your life requires you to break out of what’s known, predictable, and most likely, comfortable. Aiming at something new & big through logic and precise, comfortable planning frames your thinking through the lens of the things you already know, so most likely, nothing new will happen. Unplugging from our lives to travel South America for a year required my family and I to lean just beyond our comfort zone and not fully know how everything would come together. And if we can do it, you can too.

Three Types of Fun

A key tool for re-enlivening our lives as we age — and aging powerfully — is to consistently challenge ourselves with the new & uncomfortable. Finding your particular sweet spot is an ongoing process; the place where things are both fun AND challenging is a constantly moving target that's unique to each of us.
