Happy New Year! 🎉

I hope you all had a wonderful festive season. In this episode of the podcast, I'm just going to give a few tips to help you kick off 2024 in the best way possible.

Now is about the time that people start thinking about new year resolutions, especially when it comes to their health and fitness, which is great.

BUT, if you don't set yourself up in the right way, then you risk shooting yourself in the foot by setting yourself up for failure, which will leave you repeating the whole New Year, New Me cycle over and over again.

The tips in this episode will give you a good foundation so that whatever your goal is, you can approach that goal with a bit more of a level head and make sure you don't end up burning yourself out.

For the last episode of the year, I thought I'd talk about a few of the lessons learnt in 2023.

In this episode you'll learn:

- Why you should aim for sub-optimal

- The bitter pill you need to swallow if you're not seeing results

- Why focusing on the opposite of what you want can help clarify things

- Why you should surround yourself with people who make you feel uncomfortable

Hey everyone!

The last thing you need right now is someone else telling you how to approach the festive period.

So I'm not going to.

Instead, here are a couple of thoughts on doing what you want to do, whether that's enjoying a few days of hedonism, or still keeping some sort of routine.

The important thing is to do what makes you happy, allows you to really enjoy the festive period, and means you can come into 2024 without feeling guilty.
