Happy new year!! We very much enjoyed our break, but now we are back and wanted to share this with you!
The beginning of a new year has many people setting resolutions, and by the time of this podcast in early February, most of us have probably lost a bit, or all of motivation! In fact studies show that fewer than 10% of people actually keep their resolutions. We want you to know that's ok! You can lose your resolution without losing your vision.
A resolution is simply the act of determining there is something you want to change. Often though, without a ‘why’ and a vision of how you want to ‘feel’ after this change, there is little to push you forward through the temptations of ‘old’ habits. (Revisit Episode 1 where we discussed vision setting - it will really help you understand how to set intentions for success).
Let's all just be honest with ourselves! Consider if your conscious is ready for this behavior change? Do you have accountability or support for the change you are trying to make? Are you setting this resolution because it is a social or family pressure or is it what you truly want?
Let’s set visions that build better habits daily, think the concept of Kaizen - means taking very small steps continuously over time and you will achieve bigger results. We like this visual of a ladder.
“It is used for an upward climb. Also, a ladder can’t be safely climbed except by using one rung at a time. Just like people don’t explode into success but grow into it, a ladder offers only a progressive means of travel. We use each rung as a foundation to reach greater heights” - Jack Alia
