How many New Year's resolutions have you set in January 2020? How many of them have you actually achieved? Although different studies show that more than 80% of New Year's resolutions fail, we still keep setting them, hoping that this year, things will be different. But usually, they're not. And as the end of the year approaches, we feel often end up feeling like a failure, ruminating over and over why we failed, yet another year in a row. I was no exception. In today's episode, I'm going to share my point of view on why I think New Year's Resolutions are bullsh*t, why we keep failing at them, and what we can do to set goals that we can actually achieve. Let's get into the episode.

What do you think when you look at yourself in the mirror? Having a negative body image isn’t something that only people with an eating disorder struggle with – many of us feel self-conscious and focus anxious about our appearance. In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about what affects our body image, why is it important to have a positive one, and whether there is something we can do to develop more positive body image.

“No one is you, and that’s your superpower.” Every single day, we compare ourselves to other people. We compare everything – our appearance, lives, education, career, success, popularity, wealth, with people we know, as well as people we never met before. According to recent studies, comparison on social media can contribute to lower self-esteem, envy, loneliness, and feeling anxious and depressed. In today’s episode, Anci covers why the comparison is a thief of literally anything, and she shares her TOP six tips on how to break the self-comparison mindset.

One thing that people do is that we tend to wait for the right moment. We postpone our plans when the timing is better. We delay changing something – our work, home, maybe even partners, for some uncertain time in the future, when the circumstances will be better. We postpone our dreams for tomorrow, for that "one day" when we will finally feel ready. But do you know what happens with that "one day"? It turns to never. In today's episode, we will cover some of the common things that hold us back when it comes to action. We'll talk about how seemingly helpful things, such as planning and creating to-do lists, give us the false sense we're already doing something, whereas, in reality, we're just waiting for things to happen to us rather than making them happen.

Seeking for Validation in The Wrong Places (and People)

Being praised by someone and being told how great, smart, and beautiful we are is undoubtedly flattering, but it shouldn’t be the only source of our self-worth and confidence. Sometimes, we may seek validation and approval in other people, external things, and different situations. In today’s episode, Anci, the host of this podcast, will share her experience with seeking validation in all the wrong places and provide a few tips to find this validation within yourself.
