When you're thinking about building new routines, the hardest part is where to start.

Today we're lowering the hurdle by offering some routines to consider with options

and ways to beat the obstacles that come after you get going.

something to grow and ways that stick. If you like this podcast then you'll love my foundational

Today I finally finalized my goals for 2022 and yes it's nearly the end of January but also

yes I am really proud of myself because at the end of January is actually the earliest

into a new year that I have finalized my goals since I started making them again four years ago.

Other years it's taken me to march to even get started in considering them.

So what slowed me down in the recent past? Well it's the very same thing that stopped me all

together from making goals in the distant past. Feeling very overwhelmed. In a nutshell I didn't

know where or how to start. There were just too many good things to consider and I wanted them

all and all right away. So I either delayed or put off or mold over things for too long or

just put my head in the sand and forgot them all together. Maybe you're feeling that way too.

So to help today we are going to get you started and we are going to discuss specifically routines.

There's likely many of you who have a long list of routines that you would like to have in your life

and there's others of you who are too overwhelmed to even think those through.
