Season 2, Episode 2: New Year's Resolutions Does This Make Me Look Old?
-
- Comedy
It’s a new year, so that can only mean one thing - it’s resolution time, baby!
In this episode, we get into the nitty-gritty of New Year’s resolutions - our attitudes around them, do we set them, do we not set them, and why. Spoiler alert: Shiv doesn’t!
We chat about the magic and promise of the New Year - how it seems to fade/change as you age and why we’ve adjusted our approach to making resolutions over time. There’s talk about intentions versus resolutions and living our lives in a way that enriches – making meaningful changes rather than ones doomed for failures (Does anyone else need to lose 30 pounds EVERY SINGLE FREAKING YEAR? [insert virtual fist bump here!]).
We also touch on the topics of living a balanced life and how the pandemic has changed our perspective of what downtime looks like. The older we get, the easier it is to let go of self-blame when we “fail” to meet our resolutions. We’ve definitely become more forgiving and compassionate to ourselves over time. Which begs the two most important questions ever: Why were we so harsh towards ourselves when we were younger? And why did we ever bash Brussels sprouts?
