New year, still you
Have you set a New Years resolution?
Did you wake up with anxiety on New Years Day? Thinking you need to change your habits, lose that weight, get into shape?
There is so much pressure to be perfect in our modern society.
It’s a new year, but you are STILL you. With all your quirks and imperfections, with all your flaws and mistakes. With your mood swings and your bad habits of reading on the toilet and eating the last of something without putting it on the shopping list.
In this brief solo episode I discuss New Year's resolutions, reviewing some psychological research as to whether they actually work, and how you can set yourself kinder goals.
You are still you, it's time to learn to be okay with the you that you are, rather than trying to get rid of everything about you.
If you need a self-compassionate break, telling yourself how hard it is sometimes and giving yourself some kindness instead of criticism around a mistake, then you can download a free 4min guided meditation audio on www.thethomasconnection.co.uk/break
Order my book, The Lasting Connection, here
