Cultivating + Letting go

I've been reading this book by Brene Brown called Daring Greatly. I've only finished the first chapter and already there's something about it that resonates with me. In her Introduction she talks about "guideposts" for Wholehearted Living. Even 2 days after reading this, I'm still thinking about it and learning and trying. Even with the New Year coming ahead, I think I'll keeping referring to this and try to implement it a month early. I hope you take something away from this list too.
