Episode Transcript

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.
I've just been invited back tothe Today Show, Australia, to
talk about New Year'sresolutions on New Year's Eve.
Catch me at 8 40 a.m.
if you are in that part of theworld on New Year's Eve for you.

(00:23):
It'll be December 30th here inMiami.
And resolutions, I think, are anoff-talked-about subject in so
many ways.
There are three billion articleswith all sorts of advice, tips,
suggestions.
And I would like to offer yousomething a little different
today.

(00:43):
Because, you know, based on whatI've heard from different people
in different life situations,2025 has had its challenges.
Globally speaking, economicallyspeaking, there's been a lot to
be said around this year.
And if you feel any heaviness,dare I say skepticism or even

(01:04):
cynicism heading into 2026, Ibeg of you to consider a reset
now.
The good news is you don't needto wait until January 1st ever.
You can reset, start over everysingle morning.
Think about that.

(01:25):
If you have these feelings ofheaviness, of feeling dread, of
feeling fear, the sense offoreboding over a new year, or
your future in general.
Let me give you this thoughttoday.
Cynicism is often just our fear.

(01:45):
There is a comfort to it becauseit feels like there is less to
lose.
A hopeful person mightexperience disappointment, but
guess what?
A cynical person will alsoexperience disappointment.
They've just been lying tothemselves throughout the
process.
We think that being cynicalprotects us from feeling

(02:08):
negative emotion, thinking, oh,well, I didn't think that'd work
out anyway, or goes to show Iwas right all along.
But my friends, what kind oflife is that?
It doesn't protect you fromdisappointment at all because
disappointment happens to all ofus, regardless of your attitude,
but it will shield you, blockyou from possibility.

(02:33):
When we are cynical, when ourexpectations are low, when we
don't really expect or believefor much, the world shrinks
directly to what's predictable.
And all of our power is in thepresent moment.
So if in the present moment wefeel cynical, our world is

(02:56):
small.
We engineer a small life.
What if we opened up?
What if we introduced morecuriosity?
What if we weren't so quick tobe certain that the future's
looking bleak?
What if instead we realize thatthose thoughts are actually the
barrier?

(03:16):
We think that it's a help, wethink it's a shield.
On some level, we're protectingourselves, but all we're really
protecting ourselves from iswhat is possible, our next
level.
That gorgeous thing that we'vebeen wanting to be, do, or have,
maybe our whole life.
If you feel emotions like this,these heavy emotions around this

(03:39):
time of year, instead of lookingat them as something that could
be protecting you, what if youjust saw them as something
that's potentially harming you,limiting you, preventing you
from experiencing all that youare here to experience?
And that includes many, many,many good and wanted things.

(04:04):
Until tomorrow, my friends.
So much love and ease.
