Stop To Then Go
Stop. Go.
As we start to close the year, I think this View can be a good reflection—to start to consider what you can cut out to make space for what might be new in 2022. What will you stop so you can then go?
The Sustainable Ambition View:
Stopping activities can be just as powerful as starting them.
Why it matters:
There are times when we know we need to move on or are ready for that next thing, yet we can't create space for it. It's hard to stop doing a project or activity that we committed to, but if we don’t we’ll never make time for the new.
Behind the thinking:
When one’s ambitious and living a full life, it’s easy to end up with a full plate.
Yet there are times when we get an inkling or an itch to move towards something new, towards what’s next.
Or, we start to get tired or bored with what’s been holding our attention up to this point.
It’s hard to put down something we started, but surrendering or putting a project down can be freeing.
We only have so much time. Where do you want to put your attention now?
What’s next:
What has run its course for you? What can you put down? What do you want to stop?
What’s calling you now? What do you want to move towards instead?
If you want to take action in the direction of your new goals or ambitions, how can you reorient your priorities to start to take action on those first and put other tasks aside?
What one small step can you take in the direction of where you want to move?
