## Resource

Happy 2025! It's the time of year when a lot of people will be setting New Year resolutions, even though they have a spectacularly high failure rate! In this episode I discuss the difference between goals and resolutions (and why the confusion between the two is often partly to blame for the failure), and share some top tips for setting resolutions that stick. Some people say that you shouldn't need to wait for January to bring about change in your life but if it's done the right way it can be the perfect time for it! I'm looking forward to resuming regular episodes with interviews and more solo podcasts, and hopefully there'll be something in there to give you a bit of a boost.
