Summary

This is episode 144 of the Absolute Mind podcasts and today I am covering New Years Resolutions

http://www.absolutemind.co.uk/freeanxietycourse

Please do bear in mind that we have created this podcast to be of some insight and some sort of assistance but by no means a way to treat conditions on their own.

If you do have any deep-rooted conditions or ailments that you'd like some assistance with on a one-to-one professional approach, then please feel free to contact either myself or Michael on Facebook or directly through the website and we can arrange sessions that way or via Skype, whatever suits.

So its that time of year.......... New Year New You? Or are you ditching the resolutions this year?

Every January the world is filled with people starting their new years resolutions whether that be losing weight, exercising more, be more active, start a new career, be more positive the list is endless when it comes to resolutions.

But why does it have to happen only in the new year? are you fed up of giving yourself a restriction on starting new things only at the new year? why not February resolutions, March resolutions and so on. Do our goals only really matter if it's a "resolution"

This year i've decided i'm not putting a label on my goals of resolutions, instead i'm going to continue being the person i want to be and continue working on new goals and aspirations that present themselves through out the year.

The amount of time we put too much pressure on ourselves of starting these resolutions in January, pronouncing to our loved ones our plans and feel like a failure if we haven't stuck to it.

If you have a goal, a target, a plan it doesn't matter when you start as long as you start some time.

Take the pressure off yourself of it being a resolution and start planning and goal setting to ensure you feel like you can complete it.

0:19.0	Hello everyone and welcome to episode number 144 of the Absolute Mind podcast. Now it is the first
0:27.0	week of January 2018. It is a Friday and it's a feel good Friday episode. Now I haven't done a
0:35.9	New Year's Resolutions podcast so I thought today was the best
0:39.8	day to do one, as normally most people give up on their resolutions by the first week in January.
0:47.6	So that's what I'm going to be covering today. Now, if you've decided that 20 2018 is your year to become free of anxiety,
0:59.1	I've created a free anxiety course that will help you to become free of anxiety starting now.

1:32.4	Now, I myself haven't made any resolutions this year if I'm going to be completely honest. I'm
1:40.6	a big believer in just being happy with who I am.
1:46.6	But if you have made some resolutions and you're feeling the strain already,
1:52.7	because it's that first week back, I know here in the UK,
1:56.5	some of the children have only just gone back to school,
1:59.3	so it's a bit of an odd week. So it can be
2:01.6	really hard to get yourself in the game, get your head in that moment, in that mindset of doing
2:08.4	your resolutions and sticking to them as well. So a few tips that I've kind of figured out
2:14.2	over the past few years is that to just not be so hard on yourself when it
2:19.2	comes to these New Year's resolutions. People put so much pressure on themselves to have a resolution
2:24.1	and to stick it through and to be able to say to everybody that you did it. But in my opinion,
