As we wind down 2024, a lot of us are beginning to set new goals for 2025. Are you being intentional about the goals you set or simply choosing a health and fitness one, like "lose 50 pounds" only because it sounds good?  In this week's episode — the final episode of the year, I share my journey from feeling out of control in my goal-setting to realizing how much power I truly have over my life.  I'll walk you through a process and a series of questions to help you reflect on the past year using the scientific method. You probably learned this in school — and today, we're bringing it back to help us live more intentional lives. You'll also discover:  Specific, practical questions you can ask yourself to help you reflect on 2024 and choose what you'll take with you into 2025. How to create hypotheses, design experiments, and evaluate results to identify what's working and what needs to change. My story of embracing vulnerability, patience, and persistence to make gradual, meaningful improvements in my life. How to set realistic goals that you'll be more likely to reach while being open to tweaking as you go. The concept of measured discomfort and how it can support your success. Join me today for some practical guidance on making sustainable changes and setting yourself up for wins in the new year!
