#428 New Year Resolution- What A Dick I Was

New Year Resolution What A Dick I Was I'm Rethinking Resolutions – From Dickishness to Empowerment Hey, welcome back to the Personal Development Unplugged Podcast – your space to dive into the real stuff that makes life better. In today's episode, we're shaking things up and rethinking New Year's resolutions. Ever feel like you're being a total " dick " for ranting against the whole New Year's resolution thing? I know I have, and guess what – I'm here to apologize for it. I've always felt resolutions should be something we set any day of the year, not just on New Year's Eve. But hey, who am I to decide? For many, that quiet time between Christmas and New Year is the perfect chance to reflect and set goals. So let's embrace it! Now, here's the deal: Instead of falling into the trap of vague and painful resolutions (you know, stuff like " lose weight" or "quit bad habits " ), how about we focus on the joy of change? Let's turn those "shoulds" into "wows" and set resolutions that excite us. How? By making them personal – focusing on what truly matters to you , not what everyone else thinks. Here's a quick exercise: Grab a notebook and jot down three things you'd like to change about yourself – physically, emotionally, or behaviorally. Now, take about ten minutes and brainstorm anything else you'd like to change or improve. Let your imagination run wild! When you're done, see if any of these new ideas replace the initial three you wrote down. Next, pick the one change that would make the biggest difference in your life. Ask yourself: What would this change allow me to do? How would it transform my life? What beliefs would support this change? Write those down and let yourself feel the excitement! Now comes the best part: What's the smallest step you can take toward this change? And, most importantly, schedule it . Small, consistent steps are what lead to the big transformations.

And the transcript WARNING if you're a lover of the written word this may make you frustrated, or angry - you have been warned - is it an 'ism Have you ever thought what I thought? And that thought was like the title, what a dick. And that's me I'm talking about, by the way. What a dick am I. What a dick was I. And I had that thought just a little while ago. Why? Why, you ask? Because you're not. You're not a dick, Cloughie. I know you're saying that, really, I wish you well. It'd be nice if you did think that. But, hey, this is where I'm coming from. This is what I was thinking about. every year, every blooming year, I have a rant. I have a rant about New Year's resolutions. And it's about the time, it's about that time. And I was going to do that. I was going to do another rent. You see, most people, and this is what I do, I do it after most people's New Year's resolutions have disappeared. They started them with the best of intentions. Ish. And, they disappear. And I go on this rant saying how crazy it is to do New Year s resolutions in the New Year. Well, wait, I don't know what other time you do New Year s resolution. But, hey, you see, my thought was, why, only at, New year, we've got 365 days plus one on a leap year to make resolutions. And, I thought that was a brillian
