It’s really important that you don’t repeat the same things that didn’t work last time. You want to make this time to be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we mentioned in the Labels<\/a> episode, we like to label things because it’s a shortcut. And that can make you dumber or smarter. It can also give too much power to the thing<\/a>. And it’s that last point we’re discussing today\u2014the power you give new years resolutions and the “beginning” of a new year. The new ‘start.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n [INSERT YEAR] is going to be different and I will [INSERT ACCOMPLISHMENT].<\/p>\n\n\n\n OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resolutions are good for one-off actions. They are good for things you want to do or not do and declare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Things like these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Etc. These are “one off” kind of things you just remember to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But even these are probably indicative of a higher issue, a system that is in place<\/em><\/strong>. The eating everything may be due to guilt you have about food which stems from something else and is causing other actions that are unfavorable. The not switching could be due to not focusing, or prioritization, or the dreading<\/a> of the folding. The phone in bed may be a missing comfort<\/a> due to lack thereof in your life (which could be a huge issue of self-care<\/a>), or a lack of fun (again self-care), or a replacement activity (replacing what you should be doing) or a deflection of sleep which means a delay in bringing forth tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s talk about the difference, what works, what doesn’t, which are part of a system. And let’s help you make the ones that work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you want more thorough, hands-on work to see what systems are in place that these resolutions reveal, reach out for a free no-obligation chat to see if the Alchemy for Life\u2122 coaching system is a fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe difference.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
