For me, this year is all about slowing down & listening to my heart whispers, breathing in & exhaling gently into creative writing & abundant practices that balance my being 🧡
I’d already decided to focus on writing at Substack; being consistent as much as I can. Then at some magical point this week - Mars going direct? Mercury? Both? Neither?! - I realised what was missing from my long term goal and suddenly it lit up! The first stage is still to focus on writing here and hopefully finding people who like it. If I let my current high enthusiasm take the reins I’ll be totally over the whole thing by Wednesday, so pacing...discipline...steadiness... How WILL I ever do it? 😆
I was surprised to see this post this morning as felt more spontaneous from you... and I loved it! And you can see others have! A successful experiment! Agree on seasonal totally. I’m really experimenting with goal setting this year - to come from time/ money/ output / feelings / where does the core focus come from etc xx
It was such a great workshop, Claire - thank you so much! And you’ve got me all geed up again about my goals with this post this morning - accountability is everything! 😊
I love your retake on SMART goals. The Seasonal and Magical aspects very much align with my creative practice so I’m definitely adopting them. I’m a huge fan of goal-setting as I have my own experience of chronic health issues and it can feel like you never get anything done. Goal-setting really helps with that. Maybe I’ll write a post on that soon x
I just ADORE your take on SMART goals!

I love your reimagining of SMART goals. I’m going to give that a go.
Love the new take on SMART!
