I dive deep into this episode about the truth of New Years Resolutions. I begin by sharing my physical and mental goals for the new year, then talk about busting common myths/misconceptions behind goal setting, and finally, wrap up the episode with discussing common reasons why a lot of resolutions fail (and what you can do to prevent that from happening). This is a super chill, calm episode where we will be focusing a lot on self compassion-- not pressuring ourselves to be perfect and achieve all of our goals immediately. Remember to take things step by step. Stay tuned!
