Episode description

“If you rely on a change of the calendar and not a change of the mind to make a difference, you’re doing it wrong.”

You don’t need a new year to start, just new rules. There are six personal rules I’ve created to guide my year ahead. Since I was inspired to create my list, I wanted to share them with you in case they maybe inspire yours. Instead of relying on resolutions that often fade, I’m focusing on principles that will shape my daily life. From urgency and play to sleep and using more "four-letter words" (don’t worry, these are good words), each rule is a reflection of intention, not pressure.

Read my blog for more on why creating personal rules may work better than setting resolutions.
