Summary
It's natural to get to the end of the year and assess and appraise the 12 months that have just passed. As someone who has, for a few years now, found the 'new year, new you' and the whole resolutions/manifesting/visualisation/vision board culture borderline offensive AND ONLY TARGETED AT WOMEN, I haven't indulged too much in the idea that I need to make huge changes.
However, 2025 has involved a fair few realisations, epiphanies and general 'what has worked before is no longer working now' and it's become clear that it's time to try a different tack.
But what does that look like and, as someone who has been programmed to do more and just 'up the effort' when you want better, bigger and more results, is it time to embrace an entirely less 'throw everything at it' approach?

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of The Emma Gunn Show and an episode that will hit your |
| 0:13.4 | podcast feed on the 31st of December 2025. I have just published 10 reminder episodes, if you like. Reminder episodes, that's a terrible |
| 0:25.6 | way to describe them. Over the festive period, I know that it can be tedious to have end-of-year |
| 0:30.9 | round-ups or repeats, but I did repeat episodes from a little while ago, the series Feel Good Habits. |
| 0:38.5 | I picked the 10 most downloaded episodes of that particular series |
| 0:43.4 | and republish them because I figured that sometimes |
| 0:46.6 | those conversations that either you haven't heard |
| 0:49.0 | or the ones that are around half an hour, |
| 0:51.4 | except for Nadine Baggatz, which was an hour, |
| 0:53.4 | but those ones that are around half an hour, except for Nadine Baggatz, which was an hour, but those ones that |
| 0:54.2 | are around half an hour, that maybe if you're listening for the second time, you get something new |
| 1:01.0 | out of them, all of those lovely things about some of those repeated episodes, I decided to |
| 1:06.2 | reshare those over the last 10 days. And so today, there be no feel good habit. Although if you want me to |
| 1:12.3 | ring it back, please do let me know. I also did a terrible job of promoting them. I think I did one post saying, |
| 1:18.5 | oh, I've put some feel good habits up there. But I didn't want to tag the people who are in them |
| 1:22.6 | because it's old. They might have felt obliged to repost them, all of that kind of stuff. So I just put them out there and didn't say anything, which is actually kind of leans in |
| 1:32.5 | really nicely to what I want to talk about in this episode. |
| 1:36.3 | So 31st of December is often the day when New Year's resolutions are set. |
| 1:41.3 | We begin to think about the things that we want to achieve in the |
| 1:45.0 | upcoming year. It does feel like a fresh page, a blank page and an opportunity to make some changes. |
| 1:52.9 | As you will know if you've been here for a while, I have turned my nose up at New Year's resolutions, |
| 2:00.2 | the New Year, New Year, New Year, especially over the last |
