Episode 76.
Happy holidays! Whether you are listening to this episode in December, January, or any other time of year, I hope that this is helpful to any goal you set (including New Year's Resolutions). If you are listening to this episode after the 1st, it is not too late for you. Starting a goal in the new year is an arbitrary date. You can make changes to your life at any point. Also, if you feel like you already failed at your new year's resolution, don’t let yourself take that all or nothing approach. Take a day or two to reassess. Analyze why you fell short and address that issue. Maybe you can consider revising your goal to something more attainable. Be patient and be forgiving of yourself. For any lasting change in your life, you are likely not going to get there on your first try. Learning from your mistakes takes you a step further to where you want to be.
