Where Did All the Time Go? A New Way to Approach Your Goals This Year

In the latest issue of The mUse, Rebekah Hogan shares that familiar feeling so many of us had this year, blinking and suddenly realizing months have flown by in a blur of tasks, goals, and hustle. Instead of rushing into another year of “doing,” she invites readers to pause and ask a deeper question: What’s the point behind the goals we set?

The article explores why time slips through our fingers when we chase achievement without ever stopping to feel the joy, intention, or emotion we’re actually longing for. It offers two powerful truths about goal-setting that challenge the pressure to constantly “become more” and instead remind us that we already have the capacity to hold what we desire.

Rather than starting the year with a checklist, she encourages women to get clear on how they want to feel and to build a year that aligns with that feeling, not just with metrics. When you shift from chasing goals to experiencing your life, time no longer disappears… it expands.
