Real Positive Change: Creative Renewal for Women

Episode 12 - A New Year and New Motivation


Listen Later

 This Year instead of asking, "What do I want to change?"   Ask, "What do I want to nurture?"

 

There’s usually a surge of energy around New Year’s resolutions—hope, excitement, determination.
“This is the year,” we tell ourselves.
“This time it will stick.” However, for many women, resolutions quietly fade—not because they failed or lacked discipline —but because resolutions are often built on emotion alone.

 

So today, I want to invite a gentle shift.
What if, instead of New Year’s resolutions, we focused on New Year motivations?

 

I talk about how emotions are like waves.
They rise.
They peak.
They pass. When we fight them, they feel bigger.
When we acknowledge them, they often soften. This is where changing the translation of a situation matters. Instead of saying:
“This feels hard, so I must be failing.” We begin to say:
“This feels hard because growth is happening.”

 

I show you how to change your reactions as I take you through the STORY model.  You learn how to stop fighting, or burying these emotions and make what you can do to achieve your change.
