L.I.T. News - Goaling and Habiting - Issue 72


Reader,

I can't believe we're almost at the end of 2025. From here, it seems like these weeks are a blur. Everything just seems so busy during this time of the year. There's a lot going on, so believe me when I say that I REALLY APPRECIATE the time you spend reading L.I.T. News. I count it an extreme honor to have the opportunity to share with you. May the information I present be a welcome blessing to you.

​In Issue 72 (below), here's specifically what you'll find:

  • continuation of The Goal Mindset discussion, regarding the complexities of having too many high-level goals
  • "The L.I.T. Corner" news, regarding a writing reflection based on questions about dormant goals
  • healthy habits discussion on what keeps you on track with your habit
  • "Made You Think" section with a goal word search and the answer to last month's riddle
  • a summary of Chapter 10 of Atomic Habits
  • a new blog post from the Degrees of Maternity blog, regarding the daily challenges challenge

Last time, I mentioned that we'd begin our deep dive into COMMUNICATION this go-around. Please forgive me, because I decided to delay it one more month and bring it to you for the last issue of 2025. I want to leave this year strong and to give you a great topic to look forward to spending some time on in 2026. Hope you don't mind, and hope you're here for it!

Until next time . . .

Hi there! I'm Jana (Yahna) Williams.

Welcome to a cozy place to hang out, where life education never ceases. Every 4th Sunday of the month, we’ll explore the areas of personal and professional development with an underlying theme of reading and writing for growth and healing. (I'm a HUGE literacy advocate! And, literacy is intertwined in just about everything I do here online. Take, for instance, the L.I.T. News Newsletter that I hope you'll choose to peruse. The "L.I.T" in the newsletter name is representative of Life-Improvement Training -- which we do a lot of around these parts -- as well as my love of all things literacy.) Just know that, as a content creator, I have a passion for educating others through positive, encouraging, and life-impacting content. Words are powerful once delivered. So, let’s enjoy their empowerment for the good, as we travel this life-improvement journey together.

Reader, Welcome to another issue of L.I.T. News. I'm excited to continue the topic of communication, specifically emphasizing the importance of how we communicate with ourselves. YOU are important, and it's necessary to check in with yourself regularly. Personally, I've found writing to be a therapeutic way to do so. And since sharing is caring, I've taken the liberty to share a little of what I've found to be true about writing therapy. So, please check out issue 75 of the newsletter -- hot...

Reader, Welcome to the first issue of L.I.T. News for 2026. I'm so honored that you're here. Because we're all about the L.I.T. (life improvement training) around here, you're going to get useful content within these newsletter pages - content that is sure to make you think and designed to make you act.
