93: Ditch toxic resolutions & set goals ...

Lyndi Cohen
About this episode

I once fell into the trap of setting wildly ambitious New Year's resolutions that fizzled out before February even whispered hello. It's a familiar story, isn't it?

Contrary to popular belief, New Year’s resolutions are not just glorified ‘to do’ items for the first week of January.

The New Year can actually be a magical opportunity for small mental shifts that can bring about meaningful change.

Each year, around 69% of Aussies make at least one New Year’s Resolution but only around a quarter of us actually stick to our good intentions and achieve the results.

Well, I say this year can be different.

Here’s how to set New Year’s resolutions that actually stick.

If you've listened and have decided you're ready for a Booze Break in 2024 - head to My Booze Break to get started.

Have you tried a bajillion diets, only to regain the weight (and more)?
It’s likely that diet culture is keeping you stuck in this vicious cycle, full of empty promises and failed attempts. If you want to build real health, check out my best-selling book Your Weight is Not the Problem. Get the details and access to a free audio sample HERE.
