Episode 15 –Launching into the New Year, Setting Goals & Resolutions – Meh!

Have you hit the ground running this year? Research suggests the most popular resolutions for 2024 are exercising more (who knew?), weight loss, and dietary improvements.   A new year is typically a time of planning and goal setting. Yet the so-called New Year’s Resolutions are inherently flawed, with a whopping 69% failing to keep them (Yougov.co.uk). According to 2023 statistics from Forbes Advisor, less than one in five people in the UK set resolutions last year. However, this year, around 51% of those aged 18-34, 34% aged 35-54, and 12% of those aged 55 and over will be setting goals. Does this suggest we become jaded with the concept as we age? Perhaps. Join Anna, Cassie and E-J in the first Soulful Reawakening episode of 2024 as they share their feelings around the New Year and discuss whether they’ve launched or eased forward. Resolutions, goals, intentions, or the latest trend to set a word of the year are prime topics of conversation. But how vested are we in maintaining the focus long-term? The trio chat about movement, nourishment and nurturing, along with a few real-world examples, to encourage us to think about ourselves and what really matters throughout the next twelve months.  Listen to this impromptu episode and be ready to ask a few questions about how you stay on track and nurture yourself in 2024. _ _ _ Thank you so much for listening.
