Episode 168 | Being Mindful and Intentional in the New Year
from Psych Talk · host Dr. Jessica Rabon
Happy 2024! In today's episode of Psych Talk I discuss how to be mindful and intentional in the new year. So many of us set resolutions, goals, or intentions for the new year and find ourselves giving up on them within the first weeks or months of the year. This is often because the goals we set are too big or too broad, we don't have a plan for implementing them, they do not align with our values, or they don't allow for flexibility, among many other reasons. Thus I discuss how being mindful of and intentional with our behaviors in the new year and implementing small changes can not only help us sustain the changes we want to make but also increase our happiness and overall wellbeing. I discuss the top five resolutions for 2024 according to a Forbes Health survey and break down what mindfulness and intentionality may look like with regard to each of those resolutions. I also discuss other ways we can incorporate mindfulness and intentionality into our lives, the benefits of doing so, and how being mindful or intentional does not have to relate to a specific goal, but rather just be something we strive for to bring us more joy and happiness.
