Forget Resolutions: Here’s What Actually Changes Your Life

Are New Year's resolutions set up for failure? Join Jaclyn and Jo as we explore a more empowering approach by embracing words like 'devotion' and 'intention' to transform your outlook on personal growth. Forget the guilt-ridden resolutions; we're diving into how choosing purpose-driven words can shape a year of intrinsic motivation and joy. In this heartfelt conversation, we reveal our words for the new year and discuss aligning our actions with core values to achieve a deeper sense of fulfilment without outside approval.Jaclyn shares how her word has evolved from ‘fortified’ to ‘robust’ as she’s delved deeper into her intentions for the year. Eliminating the dangers of a word becoming a post-it note, we share real-world examples of how these words can expand into the critical aspects of self-investment, like nurturing a robust nervous system and embracing serendipitous opportunities.Jo shares how her word has evolved from last year’s ‘trust’ to become ‘faith’, which is becoming an integral part of her identity. By adapting these qualities into the fabric of who we are, we make our intentions non-negotiable. We also acknowledge the struggles faced when simply trying to survive and how vital any form of action can be. Finally, we share insights from the Balance Institute's brand-new toolkit to guide you toward avoiding burnout and achieving a balanced life. So, take a leap with us on Balance and Beyond, and let's make this year one of fortified playfulness, robustness, faith, and exhilarating adventure.https://www.balanceinstitute.com/podcast/2024/32Send a text message to JoThe Balance & Beyond Podcast Hosted by Jo Stone, founder of The Balance InstituteFor women who are already succeeding, but beginning to wonder if they're willing to keep losing themselves in the process.We know high achievers, because we are one.
