61. Intentions NOT Resolutions

In this episode of The Concierge Weight Loss Podcast, host Kara Hackleman, Certified Life & Weight Loss Coach, talks about starting the New Year with intentions instead of traditional resolutions. Kara dives into the common pitfalls of resolutions, the negativity they can carry, and why setting intentions and choosing a word of the year can lead to a more positive and successful approach to personal growth and weight loss. Key Points Covered: The Problem with Resolutions: Resolutions often feel like punishments and highlight feelings of inadequacy. Many resolutions are rooted in self-criticism rather than growth or empowerment. Shift to Intentions: Intentions focus on growth and possibilities without judgment. Kara shares the idea of selecting a "Word of the Year" as a guiding theme for the year ahead.Example: Kara's word for this year is "inevitable," representing confidence in her abilities and tools. Toolkit for Success: Weight loss isn’t about perfection; it's about progress and having the right tools.
