Summary

I used to s*** on the idea of New Year’s Resolutions, but the biggest realization that I had in 2022, was that they are important and we should create New Year’s resolutions. We can’t see the progress or growth we make on a daily basis so we need New Year’s resolutions to keep track of that progress as a baseline for the year. Sometimes, I compare seeing this personal growth to seeing one of your children grow. For you, who sees your kid every day, how fast your children are growing isn’t quite as apparent as it is for someone who only sees that same child every few months. The only times that you clearly see this growth is when you’ve got to buy new clothes or shoes. The other valuable lesson I learned from this realization is, don’t be afraid to be a hypocrite. It just means your values have changed and you’re accelerating in the direction you want. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This is the flavor for years. I've been no excuse my language shitting on New Year's

0:07.6

Day Resolutions and I don't believe it. I have talked about daily practices, five daily

0:15.4

practices, knowing your what what you want personally, experientially giving and receiving,

0:21.9

who you can help, how, how with lenses of productivity, accessibility and gratitude,

0:29.2

you get them done with activities you have planned, don't have plan sleep, activity you get paid

0:33.3

for, activity you don't get paid for, and how to prioritize those by doing it now, by knowing

0:38.5

your now, allowing us to apply our why, reinstating, re-collecting, reminding and re-collecting,

0:44.9

I am. I am happy, healthy, wealthy and worthy, figuring out what I'm doing to interfere with it.

0:50.3

And in no place in the five daily practices, which I'm more than happy to send to anyone,

0:57.0

is a room for this yearly resolution. If we're doing things daily, then we're making the

1:03.9

necessary adaptable, adjustable changes, growth, acceleration in order to effectuate a trajectory

1:12.3

and not attaching to an outcome, but a trajectory. And my fear or my misunderstanding of New Year's

1:18.7

resolutions stem from the idea of our awareness and what we can and can't be aware of.

1:26.5

And so let me just play this quick clip for everyone, and then I'm going to comment on my takeaway

1:34.4

that is an epiphany for New Year's resolutions. I've spent 54 years telling people,

1:41.6

there's no such thing as New Year resolutions, there's only New Day resolutions.

1:47.6

You got to have both. Our bodies are incapable of being aware of progress in itself.

1:54.4

In a daily activity context for those who don't believe in New Year's resolutions,

1:59.1

and only believe in the New Day resolutions, you're missing out. You're missing out because we're

2:03.9

not capable of seeing progress day to day. It's impossible. So as we institute these great behaviors

2:12.5

with the great meaning aligned with what we think we want, and all we do is let them sit within

2:17.4

the context of a day without putting them into a context of a week, a month, a quarter or a year,
