It's the few days before the new year when we're encouraged to think about starting fresh and/or doing more. But instead, I want to encourage continuation. Keep on keeping on. 
There are always going to be endeavors and relationships and situations that can't be tied nicely with a bow and packaged away to indicate a clear end. This isn't an indication of failure or falling behind.
Progress is not linear, nor should we hold ourselves within the confines of this idea that growth is solely an upward trajectory. Allow yourself to grow out. Allow yourself to grow in. Allow yourself to root.
Instead of setting resolutions to be different or better, consider monthly reflections and/or quarterly intentions. Grant yourself permission to figure it out as you go. To reevaluate. To change your mind. To be human.
Instead of busying yourself with constantly chasing productivity goals or next steps, intend to sit still and get to know the person you are regardless of what you do or what you think you have to do.
Challenge yourself when you habitually throw around words like "better" or "more" or "need" because sometimes these can be expectations that we don't consciously choose for ourselves but are instead placed upon us by the larger systems we live, love, work, and exist within.
Instead of contorting yourself to fit into their boxes, trust that you deserve to take up space as you are. Things roll over -- sometimes messily, sometimes unfinished -- into a new year and that's a reflection of a life being lived.
Keep on keeping on. Carry yourself into the new year and when the clock strikes midnight tomorrow -- no matter how you feel or where you are or what you've finished -- know that you are enough.
