Avoid Burnout: Pace Your New Year Goals

How are your new year goals coming along?

Embarking on a new goal with full force can initially feel empowering, but it often leads to burnout. The adrenaline rush of a new beginning can cloud judgment, making us overlook the importance of pacing. Here’s why diving in can backfire:

  • Overwhelming Pressure: Starting strong often means setting high expectations. When these aren’t met quickly, discouragement sets in.
  • Unsustainable Habits: Drastic changes can be exhausting. Sustainable habits are built gradually, not overnight.
  • Neglect of Balance: Focusing solely on one goal can disrupt other aspects of life, causing imbalance and stress.


Finding the Right Pace

Setting realistic, incremental goals is essential to avoid these pitfalls. Break down larger aspirations into manageable steps, allowing for adjustments along the way. (Because life is gonna life, and unforeseen obstacles have a way of presenting themselves.)

While enthusiasm is a great motivator, a steady, thoughtful approach to goal-setting increases the likelihood of long-term success. So, if you haven’t set a lofty goal or intention, I hope you aren’t feeling pressured to do so. Allow yourself the grace to grow at your own pace. For now, rest, recharge, and embrace the power of introspection.
