The thing I did differently in 2022 that has made a difference in my life is that I started

getting up an hour and a half earlier every day so that I would have some time to sit

in the quiet and then do some meditation.

So that has made me calmer all day long and has been a really great change in my life.

Harry, thanks for that message.

We live a lot of our lives on autopilot, like driving a car to a familiar place.

We move through daily routines, obligations and habits without thinking much about it.

But with the new year comes a new opportunity to pause, reset, and maybe make a change.

If we want to create a change in the new year, whether it's a small thing like drinking

more water or a bigger goal, like learning a new skill or being a better listener to our

loved ones, how can we stick with it?

And by changing our habits for the long term, can we change ourselves?

We'll answer those questions and get into so much more after the break.

I'm Jen White.
