Summary
Today, I’m sharing two recent episodes from my weekly coaching podcast, Circle with Sarah, that is available exclusively to members of RAR Premium.
I wanted to share them with all of you because I think the message applies to most of us.
A lot of us have this funny habit of focusing on getting DONE with the thing we most want to do. Of getting it over with and checking it off the list. It’s maybe more prevalent in our lives than we even realize. And I want to invite you to think about how that impacts your homeschool and how you might find your homeschooling to be easier and more joyful if you’re aware of it.
If you would like this kind of encouraging boost each week, get RAR Premium and you’ll get instant access to all of the Circle with Sarah podcast episodes and new episodes every Monday.
I think it’ll make a difference in the peace and joy you experience day to day in your homeschool. Head to RARpremium.com to learn more.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why we should treat learning more like knitting, doing a puzzle, or reading
- How focusing on the doing lets us rest now, instead of waiting for when we’re “done”
- How to reframe your goals to focus on doing, rather than being done
