Why I Think New Years Resolutions are Overrated

Newsletter #8

I’m sure you’ve noticed that this year is whizzing by like the speed of light. I definitely say this every year, but this year feels faster than ever and based on loads of conversations with clients this month, it seems like we are all feeling the same way.

As we head into the last 3 months of this year, no doubt it will be busier than ever. First it will be the race to Christmas and then before we know it, New Years Eve will be upon us all and people will be flooded with hope for 2025 and have New Years resolutions coming out the wazoo. Most of which will be abandoned or forgotten about by the time February rolls around.

Don’t keep putting it off

Last NYE as many of you would know, didn’t quite go to plan for me. That day, while out with my little family, I had a pretty serious medical episode that scared the bejeezus out of me. I spent the rest of NYE in an emergency department and 2024 was suddenly looking VERY different.

I didn’t set any “resolutions' last year but I’ll tell you what I did do, I started living my life way more intentionally. I started thinking about who I wanted to be and more importantly how I wanted to feel moving forward.

2024 has involved a bunch of changes that I never saw coming and they have been profound. They weren’t born out of a few glasses of bubbles and Green Day’s ‘time of your life”, they were born out of deep reflection and dreaming about what the future could be and then working out how to make it happen.

Sounds easy right? But of course, it isn’t. Sometimes we can do it alone, but more commonly, we really need to sit down with someone to hold our hand and guide us through this process to really get clear on our vision and goals.

My advice? Forget about NYE resolutions and stop waiting for later. Watch out for the WHEN / THEN trap (eg. when I am debt free, then I will be happy, when I lose 10kgs, then I will be confident etc)

That’s not how it works folks.

stop waiting for later

If you want to make changes, then do it NOW. You could achieve an epic amount in the next 3 month BEFORE 2025 eve rolls around. You could experience a total transformation in your life and your mental health. Don’t keep putting it off when you could have that now.

There’s loads of ways to do this work, one of them is to jump in on my next course because I promise that if you show up and do the work, you won’t be the same person. If you are thinking about it, now is the time! You’re worth it.

Have a great week,
