Episode 154: Year in Review: A Simple Exercise for Visualizing 2024

We are on the cusp of the New Year, which for many people often means thinking about all the changes we want to make and the new habits we want to create. We tend to focus on the negatives, but I’m proposing that we need to pay just as much attention, if not more, to all the wins you’ve experienced. If you’re like me, you’ve spent years focusing on what’s missing, and it leaves us pretty miserable. It blocks any kind of momentum from building, and if you can instead celebrate all your wins and drop into deep gratitude and joy, 2024 is going to look a whole lot different. Join me this week as I take you through my Year in Review exercise and explain why this is going to set you up with the right energy as you enter 2024. You’ll hear the value of acknowledging all your wins so far and imagining 2024 ahead of time, and questions that will guide you along this visualization process.

Tune in this week to discover a new perspective on commitment to quitting porn.
