Don't Make Resolutions - Set Your Intentions and Goals

Don't Make Resolutions - Set Your Intentions and Goals

Author: Heather Wells | The Single Mom Blog January 13, 2017 Duration: 37:10
HAPPY 2017!!!! I hope that the first few weeks of the new year have been good for you. I know that this has been a scary couple of weeks for me. As many of you listening know I am not a huge Trump fan. To be honest he scares the hell out of me and I find him kind of childish.  However, like it or not, he is the new President of the United States. That being said I decided that this would make for a good topic for this podcast. Not Trump per say BUT my ability to manage how I feel about Trump. What does any of this have to do with New Year's Resolutions you may ask? Well, here's how. I have always had an issue with making New Year's Resolutions mainly because of the mindset around them. The fact that we are supposed to tell ourselves that the very first day of a New Year holds some secret power over us to make us do things that we haven't done ALL YEAR LONG! Like some sort of ass backwards Cinderella - the stroke of midnight is going to somehow make us magically become better at doing shit!?  Um-no. That isn't how it works. We can tell ourselves that all we want but if we are truly being honest, the second we make that resolution we already have a part of our brain ticking down the time until we break them. The simple idea of a New Year's Resolution brings that idea of when we are going to break it into our minds.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
