I love this perspective! It's something I share and am very aware of. Personally, I love the idea of having a world wide 'check in' or reflective period, but the idea of setting a ton of goals is arbitrary and exhausting.

I'm leading a New Year's reflection workshop next week and am definitely going to be sharing this type of perspective! One idea I had was too ask participants to make a 'not goal list'...for example, I'm embracing that I am not someone who folds my laundry promptly and letting that chaos exist without mental anguish is so much better!

That's a great idea! Making a list of all the things you can remove from your life frees up your time and mental space. I hope your workshop goes well!

My intentions for this year including playing my instruments more, and reading novels and comics for fun. Oh, and line dancing. It's a new fun thing I've started doing!

Oh wow, that does sound like a lot of fun! I took a line dancing class once, but I wasn't very good at it. I hope you enjoy getting to have time for your hobbies.
