Great read. I have to remind myself that there is no need to rush anything. I put that hard pressure on myself from 2020-2022 and the results from that was terrible anxiety. Eventually, I learned to relax and take is slow. This year, I'll be exploring fictional writing along with advancing my painting+drawing. I'm all too excited about this but I know that keeping my pace slow and focused is absolutely necessary. 💙

I really love the idea of going at your own pace. I usually have a vision board for the year done by now, but I’ve been letting myself think and ease into figuring it out.

I have enjoyed reading this newsletter so far and I’m excited to hear more of your revelations in this new year!

"The only time we feel behind is when we're trying to run someone else's race".

What a word! I think most people are feeling the same overwhelm reflected in your letter, no matter their profession. It's unnatural to set goals in Winter — Spring is the time for beginnings. I feel like this "New Year, new you", concept is somehow capitalism's fault 😅

“This newsletter might feel like it’s everywhere...”

Nope, the newsletter and your testimony were clear and cogent and right on time.
