e058 - New Year, New Intention

Hello Mama and welcome to the You’ve Got This Mama Podcast, season 2. What a year, amirite? But we survived it and here we are in 2021, new year, new vision, new perspective. We took a short hiatus from the podcast (you’ve probably noticed that we’ve been away from it for a while) with intention of course. 2020 was a year for turning inward, a year for reflection, assessing where we needed to make some massive changes, and it’s also been a year of incredible growth. It feels good to be back—more aligned, more intentional than ever, and more spaciousness, because that is where everything thrives. Today’s episode talks about New Year’s Intentions vs Resolutions. You’re likely wondering… huh? How is that any different? Well, Mama, it is. Especially given the year we had, and the year that awaits us with second lockdowns, schools closing down once again, forcing parents to pivot to homeschooling while working and all the things, yet again. Aka the same scenario repeating itself, but the difference this time around will be our intentions around it - how we can blend our lives together and still maintain our personal space, our mental, emotional, and physical health and wellbeing. Here’s the thing, statistics show that 80% of people give up on their “resolutions” by January 17th to be exact, which is why it’s now been coined Goodbye New Year’s Resolutions day! Have you ever wondered why we do that? Why do we say something only to self-sabotage our efforts that we deep dive into on January 1st? And most of all, why wait until the new year to start something new or make a change? In today’s episode, learn how to: 💡Set intentions instead of resolutions so you can focus on long-term growth and change. 💡Stack healthy habits instead of cold turkey deprivation. 💡Focus on the journey, the growth, instead of the end destination. 💡Commit to how you want to feel. Commit to your WHY. Anchor into it!
