## Resource

2026 is here, and we want it to be our best year yet - no hyperbole. Can we truly make that happen? Do we have any control over our lives, especially when we feel so many things are out of control in our world? In today's first episode of the year, Brian and Jamie discuss setting intentions for your day, your week, your month, which all turn into your year! They share from personal experience, how doing daily mindfulness, and meditation practices, builiding in intention through affirmations have made a profoundly positive effect in their lives. They talk about practical ways to mitigate feelings of stress or anxiety (including social anxiety), and how we have more control over our thought life than we know. They share their "words of the year," which will help them focus on the things that truly matter, and the value in sharing those words with each other and with family. They discuss how the holiday times can bring out a lot of crap for many, and the number of people who have already reached out for help in the new year, and their desire to help anyone who is struggling.
