It's the time of the year where most people make plans for the year and set the intention of making some positive changes.

BUT (frustratingly) many people struggle to make good on these intentions and, by mid-Jan, they're often confined to the bin alongside the left-over turkey.

In fact one study showed that 23% of people give up within just one week and 55% give up in 6 months.

Not good!

So in this episode, we're going to be fixing that. We're going to take a look at 4 strategies you can use to ensure that your new year's resolutions (this year) actually stand the test of time.

One of the things that makes life harder work than it needs to be is not being able to forgive. 

Holding on to all the anger, hurt, resentment, the bruising of the ego, and, in general, just not being able to move on.

Forgiveness can be a tough one to process, especially if we believe that we've been properly betrayed or treated badly.

So in this episode of the podcast, we'll be taking a look at the art of forgiveness. I'll be going through a 2-step process you can use to get some resolution and finally move on.

How has 2024 been for you?

Good, bad, a rollercoaster?

For me, it's been a weird year but it's been full of big learnings and important insights.

So with it being the time of year to start reflecting, in this episode we'll be doing just that. I'll be sharing with you the 4 BIGGEST insights (or learnings) that I've made throughout the year.

We are all creatures of habit, right?

First we form our habits and then they tend to form us.

And, while many habits are healthy and work well for us, some are not.

They either hold us back or take us in the completely wrong direction in life.

And which ones should we be looking to eliminate?

Well, in this episode, we'll be looking at 5 BIG Common Behaviours that will hold you back in life.

These are behaviours that you could be doing right now and are worth eliminating immediately or, at the very least, reducing to a minimum.

What is it about people telling you that you didn't do something right that can be so annoying...

...and sometimes hurtful.

But does it have to be that way?

Well, in this episode, that's what we'll be exploring. 

We'll be looking at how to deal with criticism in a way that keeps you sane and, in a way that can also turn it into something useful.
