031: New Year's Resolutions DON'T work...THIS does (How to have your HAPPIEST year yet)

Okay, I have to admit: I've never fully been on board with this whole 'New Year, New You' stuff.

I'm assuming you're getting bombarded by messages about what you 'should' START doing to make 2021 amazing right now, right?

I know I am! Everything from diets to workouts to financial advice to dating to making money -- you name it -- I'm getting list after list of things that I need to start doing if I'm (quote unquote) 'serious' about my success in the year ahead.

But that's the problem: Most women aren't ready for this.

In fact, they're suffering from what I refer to as the 'Holiday Hangover'. I see it ALL the time (ESPECIALLY with women!):

It's when the stress of 'making the holidays work' (more often than not) leads to overwhelm, burnout, frustration (and even some resentment) that then creates -- not just a SLOWdown, but a SHUTdown in the new year.

Instead of starting strong, a lot of women don't start at all because they are disconnected and exhausted...or they commit to setting new goals because they think that's what they are 'supposed' to do or 'should' do OR that it's 'better than doing nothing'.

But I want to lovingly disagree!

Since when is adding even MORE stuff to do to an already overly-busy and overwhelmed life a good strategy?

Since when was the answer to overwhelm to find even MORE to do?

So I dare you for the next week or so, buy nothing from no-one -- me included!

Instead, give yourself what you REALLY need right now: Clarity. A strategy that will actually work for you. A clear plan of action that you can (and will!) actually carry out.

And this episode of the podcast is dedicated to helping you do just that. I've laid out the beginning-of-the year process that I've personally taken myself through for years now, and I wanted to share it with the Stressless Eating Podcast listeners.
