  ·       “A Season is, according to whoever suggested it to me a million years ago, a broadly-defined choice to make some changes without the pressure and overwhelm of big and specific goals. The common example comes out of New Year’s Resolutions: ‘I want to lose X pounds’ can be daunting, and when we inevitably stumble, demoralizing, and we give up.

  Rather than that, choose a Season instead: ‘This is my Season of Healthy Habits.’ What are those healthy habits? Maybe walking more, maybe going to the gym regularly, maybe it’s about food choices. The thing is, I am now doing what I would be doing to lose the weight, but it isn’t about losing the weight. It’s about being focused on these other things that will support losing X pounds all on their own, and I’m not obsessed with the scale. I’m not going to get frustrated and demoralized, and ultimately give up, because it’s about the journey instead of the destination.

  So I constantly ask myself, ‘How does this support my Season?’ And I make my choices without judgment, doing my best to choose wisely.”
