Episode notes
Themes Over Goals
- Yearly themes shape identity and decision-making more flexibly than specific SMART goals.
- Themes prevent discarding progress tied to arbitrary numeric targets and guide daily choices.
Steer With Themes, Not Targets
- Do use broad themes like "positivity" to steer many small decisions rather than chase single outcomes.
- Repeat small alternative choices (habits) to produce big cumulative change.
Words That Shaped A Year
- Rachel used the words "freedom" and "fulness" last year to settle into who she is and focus on God-given gifts.
- Those words produced emotional clarity and guided her choices throughout the year.
