Why I’m Not Setting Big Goals This Year (And What I’m Doing Instead)

About this episode

Mia Harris reflects on the importance of slowing down and approaching goals in a gentler way, sharing insights from her social media detox and routine simplification.

This episode is a reflection on slowing down, letting go of comparison, and approaching goals in a gentler, more realistic way. I share what I’ve been learning from stepping back from social media, simplifying my routines, and focusing on presence over constant “fixing.” If you’ve been feeling pressure to do more, be more, or achieve more, this episode is for you. In this episode, I talk about: Taking a social media detox: stepping away from Instagram, TikTok, and business/personal development content to reduce noise and comparison. Unfollowing accounts and clearing digital clutter to protect mental space. Why winter isn’t the best time for aggressive goal-setting and all-or-nothing energy. Simplifying routines, cleaning physical and digital spaces, and finishing what you start to build momentum and self-trust. Becoming less attached to outcomes and learning to pivot when needed.
