From Resolutions to Reality: Navigating the New Year Itch
Manage episode 458766729 series 2900052
How often do we set New Year’s resolutions that reflect who we truly are, rather than what society expects?
In this episode of Uncover the Human, Cristina and Alex explore the complexities of authenticity as we step into 2025. We examine the cultural and psychological significance of resolutions, challenging the “shoulds” that often drive them. Instead, we focus on creating goals that are personally meaningful and aligned with our genuine selves.
January’s “change traps” often lead to resolutions that crumble under external pressures. From navigating small changes like switching communication tools to tackling big challenges like marathon training, we discuss the power of flexibility and recalibration. Drawing on insights from thought leaders like Adam Grant, we offer strategies to embrace change with clarity, authenticity, and an open mind for 2025.
