Becky, and this is Good Inside.
All right, it's January.
It's a new year.
It is that time a lot of us think about resolutions.
And before we jump in,
I want to share a little reframe that I've been thinking about around resolutions.
Most of us, definitely me, end the year in December feeling overwhelmed,
feeling like there's so many things we wish we did differently.
feeling like we didn't get it right.
And then we enter January,
and we have the hope and the optimism and kind of the blank slate of a new year.
But then you know what we do to ourselves?
We do resolutions,
and we do them in a way that we go right back to feeling the way we did in December,
overwhelmed, less than, not enough.
We set goals for ourselves that, frankly, are unrealistic.
Not unrealistic because we're not capable.
Unrealistic because they're based in some idea of perfection rather than in an idea of reality.
So maybe we're going through a tough stage with our kids.
