S3E15 An Alternative to New Year’s Resolutions

If you'd like a different alternative to New Year's resolutions, then this episode is for you.  Welcome to the final part of our three-part mini-series on how to get through the holidays, Fierce Authenticity style. Today’s episode is all about those New Year's resolutions aka additional lies that supremacy culture teaches you.   New Year - New You…ugh, that just irks me.   Most of us don’t get beyond the first 60 to 90 days of these “New Year's resolutions.” And here's why - because those are some of the additional lies that supremacy culture teaches you to keep you further oppressed. So, join me in today’s episode and start the new year as authentically yourself.  In today’s episode, we cover: Here’s why New Year - New You doesn’t work   You need to want It for yourself How to take back your power Being authentically yourself  Quotes  [00:06:47] It wasn't until, of course, years after I quit doing the whole New Year's resolutions thing that I realized, and it clicked and it dawned upon me: “Oh, my gosh, this is because it's another way for me to beat up on myself, and feel bad about myself, and be little and berate myself, to judge myself and criticize myself, to compare myself with others.” That's all it was.  [00:08:18] You have to actually, intrinsically, inside of yourself, believe that whatever it is that you want to experience, you want to experience it for you. Not because someone outside of you told you how you had to look, behave, what your house should look like.    Links: To connect with us on the complimentary private newsletter community, be sure to visit www.shiranimpathak.com/connect Instagram: @shiranimpathak Facebook: @ShiraniMPathak For a transcript of this episode visit www.shiranimpathak.com/podcast Donate to the work: Shirani on PayPal *Some links may be affiliate links.
