Reframing Annual Resolutions
Although I most always prefer to take the non-traditional path vs. following the latest fad, I’m actually a fan of the recent, and trending “In and Out” list, that starts to reframe the “annual resolution” discussion and flip it on it’s head. Focusing equally on what you want to embrace as well as leave behind - both important components for self-improvement.

Because for me, self-reflection is a prerequisite for change. The “Out” list not only creates awareness, it also creates space and helps to inform the items on the “In” list. I guess in a way I once again did take the non-traditional path, huh?
So without further ado, here’s my slightly modified “In and Out” list for 2024, appropriately named, the “Out and In” list:
Now it’s your turn. Take time to reflect on your outs and ins for this year and after you do and if you’re feeling up to it, jot them down below and send them my way using the form.
