Today we are talking about New Year’s resolutions and how to make this 2019 a very kick-ass one.

But first.

Compassion. The one thing that makes us human. The ability to show compassion for other people. The ability to treat others kindly is what defines us as people. Treat yourself and others kindly as you are making positive changes in your life. Everyone is going through some kind of battle that we might not be able to see because we are too preoccupied with our own battles. Remember. Compassion. Regardless of what you are going through.

Admission. I have approached this podcast from a wise-ass, preachy, know-it-all kind of way, as if I know everything and have all the answers. And nothing could be farther from the truth. I am not a perfect human being, I make mistakes, I have insecurities, trauma and a lot of things that I need to work on. I don't know everything. I don't have all the answers and I am learning just as much as you are from this podcast. Thank you for trusting me enough to value my opinions here though.

So, the podcast is going to take a different direction. As you are making changes and learning something from the podcast, so am I. And we can help each other learn and grow together, side-by-side. We will guide each other into becoming better people by holding hands, as opposed to one pointing in one direction and the other following. Let's make this a fun journey of self-discovery, where everyone grows including me.

And now..

Your life isn’t gonna change just because the digits on the calendar did.

There is more to the New Year than “New year, New you”. In less than a month, your resolutions will begin to fade into the background and you lose both interest and enthusiasm. Does this sound familiar? To me it does. It’s been me every single year for the most part.

You tell yourself that you will exercise more/quit smoking/becoming rich/control spending habits..

12 months later, you realize that you are nowhere close to those goals than you were at the beginning of the year. Still overweight/unhealthy and broke. So year after year, you keep on writing the same resolutions and last year’s resolutions become this year’s resolutions. That's happened quite often for me.

Not anymore. No longer.

Let me help you keep your resolution promises to yourself this 2019. In a few minutes I will show how to approach your resolutions so that they actually happen this time around! And together we make this 2019, an amazing one.

Let me help you make your new year’s resolutions ACTUALLY happen this year. Aren’t you sick of spending every New Year regretful and thinking about all the stuff that you could have done… but didn’t? Don’t you deserve to finally have the best year of your life? It’s time for you to make things happen and if you have not already.. then..

You are not alone.

According to the Statistic Brain Institute, 91% of resolutioners will fail on their resolutions during the upcoming year, while a mere 9% will be successful.

The question is.. which group do you want to be part of? The 91% or the 9%?

If you want to be like the 9% then don’t do what the 91% does. Forget what the majority of people do.

Ask anyone what their resolutions are and you will hear:

“I want to get fit.”
“I want to get rich.”
“I want to quit smoking.”
“I want to be a better person.”

You WANT to do something. And it just stops at that. It’s too vague and it’s not specific enough.

To make your resolutions happen this year, follow this simple 4-step-formula Break your goals down into bite-sized chunks.

* Be Specific.
Don’t be general (you ain’t a general in the army. Joke is lame af but it gets the point across well :D)
