Lowering Your Expectations to Happily Achieve Your Writing Goals

• The value of looking back at the past year (before we dive into setting goals for the new year)
• How to look back
• My big lesson on lowering expectations and how that’s shifted my own writing practice
• Why lowering your expectations for yourself might be the key to actually making more progress on your book
• A fascinating study that looks at the relationship between happiness and our expectations for ourselves
• You can follow Janet Conner here and/or check out her book The Lotus and the Lily. Her intensive is here.
