Happy December!!!! As the year come to an end, a lot of us may be realizing we’re not exactly where we thought we’d be. Maybe you didn’t hit your resolutions. Maybe you feel like you should be “further along.” Maybe you’re disappointed in your own lack of progress and don’t know why things aren’t changing… even though you want them to. In today’s episode, I talk about the truth behind why you know better but still don’t do better. Why you keep repeating the same patterns, ending up in the same situations, attracting the same friendships or relationships, or feeling stuck in the same habits.  Today's ep covers.... • Knowing the problem but not actually solving it • Repeating patterns you haven’t named yet • Ignoring the lessons life is trying to teach you • The difference between “protecting your peace” and avoiding accountability Journal prompts - How does this make me feel…. Why did this happen? Did I play a part in this happening? Does this align with who I want to be? Am I able to change the outcome or do I need to remove myself from the situation? “What’s one pattern I’ve been repeating that I haven’t named yet? What is it and is it negatively impacting me or my goals?” “Are my actions aligned with my goals? What are 3 things I can do right now to change my behavior and make a change?” Trying Not to Care is sponsored by Fabletics - Go to fabletics.com/TNTC and sign up as a VIP and get eighty percent off everything Trying Not to Care is sponsored by Uncommon Goods - Get 15% off your next gift at uncommongoods.com/tntc WANT TO ASK ME QUESTIONS?
