Set Better New Years Resolutions | Nour and Linda

About this Podcast:

You do it every year: make a resolution and never follow through with it. How can you make it stick this time? In this episode, we share several tips to help you set your New Year’s resolutions for 2025 and beyond.  

Should You Set a New Year's Resolution?  

• What’s the point of setting a resolution if you know you struggle with committing to it? It can feel like setting yourself up for failure and disappointment.  
• Linda suggests shifting your focus away from the term "resolutions" and instead aligning your goals with your personal values. 
• She also emphasizes starting small rather than setting overly ambitious goals. By following the "1% rule," you can make tiny improvements every day, creating momentum to reach your objectives.  

Tailoring Goals to Your Lifestyle  

• Have you ever scrolled through TikTok, found a morning routine you liked, and tried to copy it? Did it work? Probably not.  
• That’s because it wasn’t tailored to your personal routine or how you like to do things. 
• In our episode with Cameron, he explained the importance of understanding your daily life and capabilities. 
• Honesty and self-awareness help you set attainable, meaningful goals while avoiding disappointment.  

Strategies for Accountability  

• Here are some strategies to stay motivated as you work toward your 2025 goals:  
  • Write your goals down.  
  • Prioritize one significant objective.  
  • Conduct monthly progress reviews.  
• You have to be the CEO of your life, consistently reassessing your goals. No one else is in charge, so stay accountable and work toward becoming a better version of yourself.
