Summary
"New year, new me!"... have you gotten tired of hearing that yet?! Or, are you the person who believes in making new year resolutions but perhaps trail off after a few weeks or maybe months? There is a reason why we are not as adherent to our goals as we would like, several actually. In today's show, I go into detail about:
- Proper ways to set realistic goals and the strategies necessary to make sure you are successful
- Daily steps you can take to level up not just your fitness but key areas such as your relationships and practically any significant area of your life
- Levels of accountability and community that are conducive to your goals
- And so much more!
Make sure to let me know what you are taking action on and allow me to be a part of your journey. Connect with me on Instagram @emilyhayden and comment on my most recent post about your resolutions, goals, and how this possibly helped you take radical responsibility!

| 0:00.0 | What is going on, everyone? Welcome to another podcast episode with yours truly. I really want to |
| 0:15.7 | thank you guys for choosing to spend your time with me. I know that your time is very precious to |
| 0:20.2 | you and especially during these beginning stages of me really kind of figuring out my voice with choosing to spend your time with me. I know that your time is very precious to you. And especially |
| 0:21.4 | during these beginning stages of me really kind of figuring out my voice with this whole podcast thing, |
| 0:26.6 | kind of doing it, you know, just going with it, seeing where it goes. So I figured that I would |
| 0:30.6 | just kind of come on here and talk to you guys, just like a best friend when I feel like I have |
| 0:34.1 | something on my mind that I want to share with you that I know would be beneficial for you all. So today I want to talk a little bit about New Year's resolutions, taking |
| 0:43.1 | radical responsibility in your life, and accountability. So I personally don't really like New Year's |
| 0:49.3 | resolutions. And I think it's because I've had enough experience with myself and with other people and clients |
| 0:54.9 | that when you just make a resolution for the year, you're like, okay, this year I'm going to do this |
| 1:00.1 | better, or I'm going to make a goal to do this by the end of the year. Like, I can't tell you how many |
| 1:04.8 | years I was like, I'm going to be bilingual by the end of the year. I'm going to know how to speak Spanish fluently. And that's like been a |
| 1:11.1 | goal of mine for so long, or not even a goal. I wouldn't say a goal. It was a resolution of mine |
| 1:16.1 | for so long. And there's a reason why I never reached it. It was, it was way too vague. It was way |
| 1:21.0 | too like, this year I'm going to do it. I'm going to save up and purchase, you know, risota stone or whatever it is. And I just, I wasn't properly setting |
| 1:28.9 | goals. So I first want to talk about why I think you should get rid of New Year's resolutions and why |
| 1:34.2 | I think you should just have a different method, a different system of setting and reaching your own |
| 1:39.3 | goals. So number one, I would say, rather than looking at it as the new year and what you're going to do for the |
| 1:45.0 | entire year, I think it is great to have an overall big picture plan. Like, you know, by the end of the |
| 1:49.4 | year, maybe you want to accomplish this amount of revenue in your business. You want to accomplish |
| 1:53.6 | this with your friendships and relationships. You know, whatever it is. It's great to have those |
| 1:57.3 | overall views and goals. So why don't you go ahead and do that? Create those overhead overarching big goals that you have by the end of the year, but that don't stop there. |
