This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success Podcast.

Fitter, happier, more productive, comfortable, not drinking too much, regular exercise at the gym,

three days a week, getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries at ease eating no more

microwave dinners and saturated fats a patient better driver a safer car

that is of course a radio head from okay computer the dystopian anthem the late late 90s, with the song Fitter, happier.

And I wanted to play that for you just as a little reminder of what none of us want to do.

This time of year, we are now at the New Year.

Happy New Year, everyone.

I think we can feel really compelled to make these kinds of resolutions

and think about the changes that we want to make in our lives, which are all good things.

But doing so in a way that is a unrealistic, B, unproductive does not lead to change.

And C, worst of all, can make you feel really bad about yourself when you think about all of

your failures and all the things that you're not doing quite right and all the ways in which

you could be better.

It's enough to make you want to eat the whole box of donuts, isn't it?

And just give up.

So today on the love, happiness, and success podcast, I am putting on my life coach hat,

and I'm going to help you. I like doing for the new year, a kind of activity with my listeners

that will actually give you some skills and strategies

to create some positive change in your life and not fall victim to those unhelpful mindsets

that are being trumpeted at this time of year that are only going to end up in disappointment.

You deserve more than that.
