Summary

Is setting New Year's resolutions disempowering?

Today I explore why traditional New Year's resolutions often fail and introduce a more intentional, emotionally connected approach to goal-setting.

I agree with the pundits. Ditch the resolutions and use your birthday as a personal milestone for creating meaningful goals.

Key Takeaways:

Why Resolutions Fail (00:01 - 03:45)

  • Resolutions are often vague, unrealistic, and driven by societal pressure.
  • Only 9-12% of people stick to their New Year’s resolutions.
  • Emotional connection is key to lasting goals.

Personal Milestones Over Resolutions (03:46 - 07:15)

  • Birthdays serve as a natural reflection point for intentional goal-setting.
  • Shifting focus to personal growth instead of societal norms.

The Power of Emotion in Goals (07:16 - 11:30)

  • Emotions fuel motivation and inspire consistent action.
  • Goal-setting aligned with personal dreams and unique circumstances is more effective.

Goal-Setting The Power of 3: (11:31 - 16:45)

  • Write down three big goals.
  • Identify three actionable steps for each goal.
  • Break down those steps into 3 tasks to do today.
