Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everybody, siena cruz here your daily dose of motivation
and maybe a little bit of sass. Buckle up, because
today we're tackling something huge, that whole new day knew
me thing, you know, the one that feels simultaneously exciting
and terrifying, like are we truly capable of changing overnight?
Or is this just another case of good intentions meeting
(00:20):
bad execution. Well, honey, let me tell you there's a
reason why this phrase keeps popping up in our lives,
because it holds a kernel of truth. But before we
dive in, let's be real for a second. We've all
been there, right that moment when the clock strikes midnight
and suddenly we're convinced that everything is going to be
different tomorrow. We vowed to become healthier, more productive, happier
(00:43):
versions of ourselves. And then Adam rolls around and we're
reaching for another coffee, scrolling through social media, feeling pretty
much exactly the same, sound familiar, So what gives? Why
do we keep falling into this cycle? Because, my friends,
it's not about magical transformation that happens on January first
or any other arbitrary date. It's about building sustainable change
(01:07):
brick by brick, and trust me, it's way more empowering
than you think. Here are five key takeaways to help
you ditch the new me fantasy and embrace the power
of consistent progress. One. Ditch thee awl or nothing mentality.
This is where a lot of us get tripped up.
We decide we need to overhaul our entire lives at once,
which is exhausting and sustainable and frankly sets us up
(01:30):
for failure. Instead, focus on small, manageable changes. Maybe it's
swappin' at sugary morning drink for green smoothie, are dedicating
fifteen minutes each day to reading instead of scrolling mindlessly
through your phone. Two set realistic goals. I'm not saying
you shouldn't dream bag, but those dreams need to be
grounded in reality. Instead of I want to loose twenty
(01:53):
pounds by next week, try and going to walk for
thirty minutes three times this week. It's all about building
momentum and celebrating those small winds along the way. Therevery
find what actually motivates you. We're bombarded with so many
different to hacks and strategies, but the truth is what
works for one person might not work for another. Experiment.
(02:15):
Figure out what truly fuels your fire with it is
the sense of accomplishment, the desire to improve your health,
or simply the joy of learning something new for embrace
and perfection. This is huge. People. Don't let the fear
of messing up hold you back from even trying. Remember,
progress isn't linear. There will be setbacks. There will be
(02:35):
these when you fall off track, and that's okay. Just
pick yourself up, dost yourself off, and keep going. I
celebrate your wins, big or small. Acknowledge your accomplishments, give
yourself a pat on the back, triat yourself to something nice.
Share your successes with someone who supports you. Celebrating your
(02:55):
winds keeps you motivated and reinforces positive habits. Okay, let
me tell you about this time I decided to become
a morning person. I mean, I'm naturally more of a
night owl, but I was convinced that waking up elly
would unlock my full potential. So I set my alarm
for five thirty I'm a whull hour before sunrise. Bought
myself a fancy new yoga mat and started researching the
(03:18):
best smoty recipes. I lasted a grand total of three days.
Don't get me wrong, It wasn't because I didn't try.
But by day three I was dragging my feet to
that alarm clock, chugging down lucorm smoothies I didn't even like,
and feeling pretty miserable. Then I realized something forcing myself
to become someone I wasn't just wasn't working. So I
(03:40):
adjusted my goals. Instead of aiming for a nongobly hour,
I decided on six thirty m, still early, but more
realistic for me. I swopked the fancy yoga mat for
a quick walk around the block, and I've focused on
making smoothies that I actually enjoyed. And guess what, It worked.
By gradually making small changes and listening to my own needs,
(04:02):
I created a morning routine that felt good for me. Now,
hold on to your hats, because here's the takeaway. It's
not about being perfect or becoming someone else entirely. It's
about embracing who you are, identifying what truly motivates you,
and making small, sustainable changes that add up to big
results over time. Remember, every day is a fresh start,
(04:23):
so take a deep breath, set those realistic goals, celebrate
your wins, and most importantly, be kind to yourself along
the way. You got this, don't forget to share this
episode with someone who needs a little extra motivation today
and leave a review if you found it helpful. Let's
keep building each other up, one new day at a time.
