New Years Resolution for 2022: I Resolve to Think Small

robin-rothstein-resolution-think-small-2022
The mantra of many coaches, mentors, teachers, and self-help gurus is to "think big." Have big dreams. Have big goals. Have big ideas.

I'm not against this. It's natural to want to work towards a bigger goal. But I am now of the mind that once you land on whatever that goal is, it's good to set it aside and just kind of check in on it every once in a while to consider how you're feeling about it.

Has anything changed?

  • Does the original goal have the same appeal? (It's okay if it doesn't.)
  • If you reach this goal, will your life really feel different? And in the way that you imagined?
  • Have the changes in the world changed your goal? (That's okay, too.)

​For me, the end goal, whatever it is, has become far less important than it used to be. Given how the world -- or God, or the universe, or whatever -- clearly has other plans for how things are going to go, better to instead view big goals as placeholders, giving myself permission to make adjustments to my goals as I navigate life's twists and turns.

In the meantime, it's going to be the small steps, the small actions taken every day that bring a sense of purpose, adventure, and mystery. 

And, maybe, they will also happen bring me to an ultimate goal.

So, in 2022, I resolve to think small. To take one small, meaningful action every day that feels good. The options for small actions are simple and endless...

  • To find the value in a mundane task
  • To take a walk
  • To take a bike ride
  • To do some yoga and/or meditation
  • To make a repair
  • To declutter a small area
  • To try something new 
  • To do something from the past
  • To choose curiosity over fear

And I resolve to reflect on these small actions, both in the moment and down the road, to assess how all of these steps add up in their own circuitous way. To acknowledge the growth.

Small is the new big for me. Will it be the same for you, too?

​💚Wishing you many small, fulfilling thoughts and actions in 2022 and beyond.💚
