Episode 51 - New Year's Resolutions
On This Episode:
Every New Year, there comes a moment for most folks out there that feels like a "honeymoon phase" of a "new start" on life, we think that turning a page on a calendar can somehow rewrite our entire personalities. It is a weird ritual that happens all around where we look at a new year and we decide that it’s the perfect time to trade in our actual habits for a "better" version of ourselves that doesn't really exist. We get sucked into this by diving into these massive goals that can get really extreme, like joining a gym or committing to a restrictive diet or waking up at 4 AM. And so often, we do so without thinking about whether they actually fit into our real, busy lives. It's kind of like making a pinky promise to a perfect stranger you imagine yourself to be, only to feel like a failure by February when your real habits and personality return to you naturally. The reality is that a date on a calendar doesn't have the magic power to fix our lives or change our behavior. Real progress isn't about a grand announcement or a symbolic fresh start; it’s about the boring, quiet stuff like understanding why we do what we do and slowly removing those obstacles out of our way. Lasting change happens when we stop chasing these "perfect" versions of ourselves and start making small, practical choices that work within the life we’re already living. Of course, the New Year is a great time to pause and reflect on who we want to be, but we have to remember that we’re working with the same wonderful, messy souls we had on December 31st and more likely so when the clock finally strikes on January 1st.
