Mindful Resolutions: A Kinder, Gentler Approach to Self-Improvement in 2024


Listen Later

Ep. 94 Happy Damn New Year! Kelly Marie discusses the concept of New Year's resolutions and why they often lead to failure. Kelly encourages listeners to approach resolutions with mindfulness and self-acceptance, rather than setting unrealistic goals. She explores the origins of New Year's resolutions and the low success rate of keeping them.

Key Takeaways:

  • New Year's resolutions have a low success rate, with only 8% of Americans keeping them.
  • The origins of New Year's resolutions can be traced back to the Babylonians, Julius Caesar, and Wesleyan Christians.
  • Instead of setting concrete resolutions, adopt a mindful approach to personal growth.
  • Be kinder and more forgiving to yourself, and accept the present moment.
  • Resolve to find joy and be the light in your own life.
  • Quotes:

    "You are not unsuccessful. You are not a poor human being if you make a resolution and don't keep it."

    "There's no time like today to resolve to do something. There is nothing stopping me or you from becoming a better person today."
