The following Mark's Daily Apple article was written by Mark Sisson, and is narrated by Tina Lehman.

Ten ways to make every day a window for change.

I'll admit, I love the post-holiday weeks, though quiet and clarity after all the hoopla.

I know I'm in good company when I say I look forward to getting back to my routine with renewed vigor.

It's a time of self-focus again after the hectic period of extroversion.

In this way, the month lends itself well to goal-setting.

Being in the field I'm in, I've seen it work for people in powerful ways, and I personally

That said, I've also seen people get too wrapped around in all-or-nothing mentality this time of year.

The sad fact is, some people take a vice grip to their resolutions and then give up the whole venture

when their self-imposed tension doesn't translate into sustainable motivation.

Do they forget that we enjoy 12 full months per calendar year, 365 glorious days,

all of which offer the same opportunity for change? Sure, I get the clean slate metaphor,

New Year, New You. It's a powerful suggestion this time of year, and one of the reasons

we do the 21-day challenge in January.

That said, I make a point of writing about behavior change throughout the year because that choice is available to us at all times, not simply when the culture at large declares it so.

The fact is, we can claim a clean slate whenever we feel like it.

It's good to stir up a little audacity now and then, right?

We're simply dealing with a question of mindset.

How can I effectively mobilize myself to begin achieving my goals,

or upping the ante on them, any day of the year?

In other words, how can I make each day a potent, no-holds-barred opportunity for change?
