61. Intentions NOT Resolutions

goals intentions resolutions word of the year Jan 05, 2023
 

In this episode of The Concierge Weight Loss Podcast, host Kara Hackleman, Certified Life & Weight Loss Coach, talks about starting the New Year with intentions instead of traditional resolutions. Kara dives into the common pitfalls of resolutions, the negativity they can carry, and why setting intentions and choosing a word of the year can lead to a more positive and successful approach to personal growth and weight loss.

Key Points Covered:

  1. The Problem with Resolutions:

    • Resolutions often feel like punishments and highlight feelings of inadequacy.
    • Many resolutions are rooted in self-criticism rather than growth or empowerment.

  2. Shift to Intentions:

    • Intentions focus on growth and possibilities without judgment.
    • Kara shares the idea of selecting a "Word of the Year" as a guiding theme for the year ahead.
      Example: Kara's word for this year is "inevitable," representing confidence in her abilities and tools.

  3. Toolkit for Success:

    • Weight loss isn’t about perfection; it's about progress and having the right tools.
    • Kara discusses her personal journey, emphasizing wins, learning from mistakes, and building self-belief.

  4. Concierge Weight Loss Approach:

    • Fully customized one-on-one coaching tailored to individual needs.
    • Support from both individual sessions and group coaching for added motivation and inspiration.

  5. Practical Advice:

    • Plan meals ahead to reduce decision fatigue and simplify daily life.
    • Develop trust in hunger and fullness cues rather than relying on external metrics like calorie counting.

  6. Empowerment Through Coaching:

    • Kara encourages listeners to embrace a mindset where success is inevitable.
    • The journey isn’t about being perfect but creating a sustainable lifestyle with the right support.
