Episode 81: Rethinking Resolutions: Building a Life You Love

Welcome to the first episode of To Help You Heal in 2025! As we step into a new year, many of us are making resolutions and setting goals—but how often do those plans fall apart by February, leaving us feeling discouraged?

In this episode, I’m offering a new approach: What if we focused less on the outcomes we want and more on creating a life we love—day by day?

In This Episode:

• Why traditional goal-setting often leads to frustration and burnout
• How to set goals based on daily actions rather than unattainable outcomes
• Questions to ask yourself: What do you want more of in your life? What do you want less of?
• The importance of reducing stress and embracing consistency to support the version of yourself you want to be
• How this mindset shift can help you end 2025 in a place of growth and joy

Key Takeaways:

• Focus on actions, not outcomes. Instead of setting a goal like “lose 10 pounds,” focus on consistent habits like walking daily or eating intentionally.
• Love your life in the day-to-day. Build routines and make choices that feel meaningful and sustainable for you.
• What you feel matters. Goals that create unnecessary stress or pressure aren’t worth pursuing. Find ways to thrive without sacrificing your peace.
• Be intentional about “more” and “less.” What do you want more of in 2025? What can you let go of to create space for the things that truly matter?
