Quitting Isn't Failing

Hey Team

I was recently thinking about kids being picky eaters and how there is a movement where we're not supposed to say picky anymore; we're supposed to say they're selective eaters.

And you know what, I get that. I grew up as a picky kid, and… let's be honest, I'm a fairly picky adult as well. Scratch that, selective adult.

And I know it's semantics, but I often find semantics are important. Because if we're reframing this idea of being picky into being selective, it loses a lot of that negative connotation, and it gives a lot more power to the idea that what we're doing is we're making choices. In this case, making choices about food, but I think this is something we should keep in mind as we're moving into the new year because a lot of us are going to find that we're going to need to be more selective with our goals, especially in regard to New Year's Resolutions.

And this is the idea that we're going to be exploring in this episode - what are the things that we really want to focus on doing - what are the things that we want to commit ourselves to, and then what are the things that we should be letting go of.

This Episode's Top Tips

1. You can do anything, but you can't do everything. If something feels draining, unaligned, or no longer serves you, it's okay to move on.
2. Work on reframing quitting as a positive. We're redirecting our energy toward something more meaningful and prioritizing those things that we really want.
3. Focus on sustainability. If a goal feels overwhelming, reassess and try to find a more manageable way to approach it.
