An Alternative to Big Resolutions, As Told Through Poo Puns

New Year's is like a mild laxative. Many of us midlifers are constipated with difficult, sometimes painful patterns and we sure could use a dose of medicine to help us function more efficiently. New Year's can be that medicine.

While I definitely think we need not wait until a particular calendar date to be more intentional and inspired in our lives, we humans seldom ever do bona fide now-to-next goal-setting.

In the spirit of a mild laxative, let's skip the...uh..."bulky" resolutions, in favor of a quick but fun exercise (a "movement," so to speak):

What three things will you invite ("ingest"?) into your life?
What three things will you "release" from your life?

Your goals don’t have to be big, hairy, or audacious. You can choose to take the stairs or practice compassion for your parent or buy a bicycle and TOTALLY TRANSFORM your emotional steady-state. Just remember: goals for creating a more satisfying midlife and honoring what matters most are best achieved when approached incrementally...with intention...and actively integrated.

SO WHAT: The best approach to living your goals = Incremental + Intentional + Integrated.
NOW WHAT: Invite three things in, "pass" three more...and watch your midlife satisfaction really unfold.
SAY WHAT: Comment below to let me know your "3 in/3 out movement"!

We're wired to "take a dump" on ourselves, so please remember: YOU MATTER. Also, I really wanted to say "YOU (FECAL) MATTER" but thought it's best to maintain some semblance of maturity. I guess I said it anyway, didn't I? ;)
