New Year’s Resolutions

Welcome to Imagine the Possibilities. I’m Skip Pogue and this is Season 2 Episode 3 titled “New Year’s resolutions.” I want to talk about why we create them and what happens after that. Is the reason as simple as the hope for a fresh start? Is it our getting caught up in the excitement of the moment? Maybe it is the symbolic clean slate a new year provides, or simply the pull of tradition? I want to talk about these questions. I also want to look at the motivations behind resolutions and the challenges of sticking to them.

I want to discuss some common themes like health, money, relationships, hobbies, and career goals. We’ll look at the reasons people often abandon their resolutions, including the lack of specificity, unrealistic expectations, or poor planning. I’ll be sharing some things that come from life experiences. Hopefully, you can relate to some of it. You’ll hear about a photography class that taught me the power of perspective, where I realized that small shifts in thinking can lead to meaningful results.

This episode isn’t just about New Year’s resolutions. it’s about creating balanced, measurable, and attainable goals in your personal, professional, and spiritual life. I will be touching on setting priorities, finding motivation, or turning goals into lasting habits. Hopefully, you will find some nuggets and a bit of inspiration to help you as you move forward in your life.

So, grab a cup of coffee or tea and listen as we explore the possibilities that come with every new beginning!
