Closing 2021 - Mini Mantras to End a Year
Episode 68
December 30th, 2021
In Episode 68 and Episode 69, over the changing of the year, I am sharing my mini mantras.
These are very small, free actions that have helped me with my physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Did I mention they are free? And not in the, please sign up for my newsletter in order to get this PDF kind of way. These actions can take seconds and involve no passwords.
The question is, why do I need these? Why do I need to tell myself (often literally out loud) to take these tiny actions, to consciously make an effort to make my life better?
Wait for it… Culture.
With each of these simple tasks, that may be reflexes for others, I need to convince myself to change my behavior because I was raised (in my family, in my community or by society) in many cases to do the opposite.
In this episode I will start with the mini mantras that are useful year-round but especially good for ending the year, in preparation for a reset.
Tangents Include:
- Challenging my instincts
- What’s culture have to do with it?
- Mute the Chat
- Does this need my attention
- One thing at a time
- Multitasking versus productive
- Get Hands Free
- Pull back your hair
- Socks on or off
- Check in with yourself
- Take inventory
- Close the Door
Thoughts of New Year's Past
This time last year, I was attempting to leave 2020 behind with Episode 28 – Balancing into the New Year. I had a word of the year that turned into a phrase of the year for 2021, “Move with Purpose”. Although I embraced the word of the year trend, I spoke mostly about not feeling New Year’s Eve was a great divider. Nothing magically happens at as the clock strikes midnight unless we choose to change.
Listen back to hear what 2020 Meghan was thinking and to hear how much is still true as we prepare for 2022.
