0
SPEAKER_00
Now let s talk about today s Momentum Friday episode.
0
SPEAKER_00
As we close the chapter on 2023, it s a time for reflection
0
SPEAKER_00
and New Year planning.
0
SPEAKER_00
Each moment, whether it soared with triumph or tested our resolve, has been instrumental in sculpting our current selves.
0
SPEAKER_00
The trials that we faced have honed our resilience, turning adversity into a forge for our inner strength.
0
SPEAKER_00
Similarly, our successes acted as milestones.
0
SPEAKER_00
lighting up our journey with clarity and purpose.
0
SPEAKER_00
Gazing back, we have gathered invaluable lessons, arming ourselves with wisdom for the adventures that lie ahead.
0
SPEAKER_00
So as the fireworks of New Year s Eve fade, we embrace January with the excitement of New Year planning.
0
SPEAKER_00
This isn t just about scribbling down resolutions.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s a golden opportunity for us to infuse our lives with intentional actions and meaningful goals.
0
SPEAKER_00
I know, like many of you, the familiar cycle of ambitious New Year plans quickly losing its sheen.
0
SPEAKER_00
much like holiday decorations that fade into the background.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s a pattern that we ve all witnessed.
0
SPEAKER_00
Our resolutions start strong, but gradually diminish as the year unfolds.
0
SPEAKER_00
But what if this year we changed that pattern?
0
SPEAKER_00
We transformed those fleeting wishes into concrete, actionable steps.
0
SPEAKER_00
Imagine a New Year planning process where each decision is as deliberate as our first cup of coffee in the morning.
0
SPEAKER_00
Together, let s shift our approach to goal setting, creating resolutions that resonate deeply with our true selves.
0
SPEAKER_00
In this final episode of the year on the Passion Struck Podcast, I m here to steer you through the steps and strategies to make 2024 an unforgettable year.
0
SPEAKER_00
We ll explore the art of setting intentions, drawing upon insights from my upcoming book, Passionstruck.
0
SPEAKER_00
Just like standing at the edge of a vast ocean, toes buried in the cold sand, staring out as dawn paints new beginnings on the horizon.
0
SPEAKER_00
New year planning feels like a canvas waiting for your story to unfold.
0
SPEAKER_00
Toes still in the sand, let s breathe life into those visions.
0
SPEAKER_00
Are you ready?
0
SPEAKER_00
Come along as we embark on a journey.
0
SPEAKER_00
that is much more than just resolutions ahead, one of mindset and behavior shifts that will lay the groundwork for a remarkable year ahead.
0
SPEAKER_00
Thank you for choosing PassionStruck and choosing me to be your host and guide on your journey to creating an intentional life.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, let that journey begin.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m not sure how you feel, but I can t believe we are coming to the close of 2023.
0
SPEAKER_00
Boy, it went by just in a flash, but I wanted to thank you so much again, passion struck community for making this podcast, one of the places that you come for hope and inspiration and meaning on a regular basis.
0
SPEAKER_00
And now as we enter in to new year planning, we need to understand.
0
SPEAKER_00
that it s not just about popping the cork on the champagne bottle and making a wish as the ball drops.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s your chance, your opportunity to hit the reset button on life.
0
SPEAKER_00
With the beginning of January, we are presented with a blank slate to fill in however we choose.
0
SPEAKER_00
and set the tone for the year.
0
SPEAKER_00
This fresh start is a chance to shed the weight previous oversights, be it unnoticed subscription fees or unused gym memberships, and embrace a journey of personal renewal.
0
SPEAKER_00
The new year isn t only about goal setting.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s about reinventing ourselves and our past.
0
SPEAKER_00
Why does starting fresh matter?
0
SPEAKER_00
Because studies show that goal setters are 10 times more likely to achieve their desired outcomes than people who fly by the seat of their pants.
0
SPEAKER_00
A statistic that s too sweet to ignore.
0
SPEAKER_00
And while some may argue that resolutions are made only to be broken, they re missing out on harnessing the power of motivation fueled by clear intention and deliberate action set at the beginning of a new cycle.
0
SPEAKER_00
In Passionstruck, I delve into the concept of minor adjustments and how they can catalyze major life changes.
0
SPEAKER_00
The start of the new year is a perfect catalyst for such transformations.
0
SPEAKER_00
While change can indeed commence on any day, the collective momentum of a new year provides a unique
0
SPEAKER_00
and energizing force.
0
SPEAKER_00
Furthermore, individuals who engage in New Year planning tend to lead more productive, intentional lives.
0
SPEAKER_00
They realize the impact of goal-setting on everyday decisions and long-term achievements.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s not just about crafting resolutions, but about integrating meaningful changes into our daily lives.
0
SPEAKER_00
So the question arises, how do you ensure that your actions align with what truly matters to you?
0
SPEAKER_00
How do you harness the promise of a new year to shape a future that resonates with your deepest hopes, values, and aspirations?
0
SPEAKER_00
I find that it s an inner whisper that encourages us to focus on what truly matters.
0
SPEAKER_00
But when the new year rolls around, do we listen to that inner whisper, aligning goals with
0
SPEAKER_00
Personal values isn t just feel-good advice.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s a strategic move for crafting meaningful objectives.
0
SPEAKER_00
It begins with clearly defining what matters most to you, your core values, and your aspirations.
0
SPEAKER_00
Digging deep into your why gives you clarity like nothing else can.
0
SPEAKER_00
Think about those things that light up fireworks in your heart whenever you talk about them.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s where passion lives.
0
SPEAKER_00
You don t need to be on an Indiana Jones adventure to figure out what matters most.
0
SPEAKER_00
Simply ask yourself questions like, what makes me jump out of bed in the morning?
0
SPEAKER_00
Or, when do I feel most alive?
0
SPEAKER_00
Once these treasures are uncovered, they become your North Star guiding your New Year s decisions.
0
SPEAKER_00
These insights allow you to craft objectives
0
SPEAKER_00
that are deeply aligned with who you are, and more importantly, what you cherish most.
0
SPEAKER_00
Each action that you take henceforth should be a step towards these goals, ensuring that your daily life mirrors your broader aspirations.
0
SPEAKER_00
This approach is about consciously choosing, day after day, to act in ways that bring your vision to life.
0
SPEAKER_00
For instance, if wellness tops your list of priorities, align your daily routine to support this goal.
0
SPEAKER_00
This might mean choosing nutritious foods, committing to regular physical activity, practicing mindfulness, or ensuring that you get enough sleep.
0
SPEAKER_00
Every choice becomes an expression.
1
SPEAKER_00
to your commitment to wellness.
1
SPEAKER_00
Next, I ll dive into how to create goals that resonate on a deeper level.
1
SPEAKER_00
Goals that are not only in harmony with our values, but are also structured to become attainable realities.
1
SPEAKER_00
This is where I explore the SMART framework of goal setting, a methodology that transforms vague aspirations into focused, actionable objectives.
1
SPEAKER_00
Stay tuned as I break down this process, making your goals not just achievable,
1
SPEAKER_00
but also a true reflection of your inner self.
1
SPEAKER_00
I know that in the past, I have felt a disconnection between my daily grind and what truly matters to me.
1
SPEAKER_00
And when I saw that disconnect, I knew it was time for change.
1
SPEAKER_00
Rethinking our schedules isn t just about creating free time.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s about carving out space for what s genuinely most important.
1
SPEAKER_00
Those priceless family moments or reflective sessions at your kitchen table.
1
SPEAKER_00
Let s take a closer look at SMART goals.
1
SPEAKER_00
A framework that s more than just an acronym.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a blueprint for achieving what you set out to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
Here s how to make it work for you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Specificity is key.
1
SPEAKER_00
The S in SMART.
1
SPEAKER_00
Setting a goal should be like charting a course in navigation.
1
SPEAKER_00
and precise.
1
SPEAKER_00
For instance, replace a general goal, like getting healthier, with something more specific, such as replacing one sugary drink with water each day.
1
SPEAKER_00
This specificity turns a vague ambition into a clear target.
1
SPEAKER_00
Measurable means manageable.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s the M in SMART.
1
SPEAKER_00
If you can t measure your progress, how will you know whether you ve succeeded?
1
SPEAKER_00
Swap out nebulous goals like do more exercise
1
SPEAKER_00
or something that s more quantifiable, like walk 10,000 steps daily.
1
SPEAKER_00
Tracking progress then becomes straightforward and it s quantifiable.
1
SPEAKER_00
Achievable ambitions.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s the A in SMART and the dream within reach.
1
SPEAKER_00
Aim high, but keep it realistic.
1
SPEAKER_00
Goals should be challenging.
1
SPEAKER_00
yet attainable.
1
SPEAKER_00
Scale the mountain tomorrow.
1
SPEAKER_00
Today, start with a smaller hill.
1
SPEAKER_00
Ambitious goals are great, but they should be within the realm of possibility to avoid disappointment.
1
SPEAKER_00
Relevance matters.
1
SPEAKER_00
Be R and smart.
1
SPEAKER_00
Ensure that your goals align with your true self, not an idealized version that you ve seen on social media.
1
SPEAKER_00
If public speaking isn t your thing, don t set a goal to become a keynote speaker overnight.
1
SPEAKER_00
Goals should reflect your personal values and current life situation.
1
SPEAKER_00
time-bound targets.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s the T in SMART.
1
SPEAKER_00
Set a deadline.
1
SPEAKER_00
Someday is often synonymous with never.
1
SPEAKER_00
Set a clear deadline for your goals.
1
SPEAKER_00
Whether it s a year from now or next Friday, a defined timeline sparks action more effectively than any motivational quote ever will.
1
SPEAKER_00
As you embark on this path, remember that while strategic planning is vital, it s equally important to embrace life s surprises.
1
SPEAKER_00
Keep your planning tools like your journal handy, but don t forget to leave some pages blank.
1
SPEAKER_00
Life s unpredictability often brings its most important lessons and opportunities.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now that I ve set the groundwork for setting resonant goals, it s time to explore how to prioritize them for maximum effectiveness.
1
SPEAKER_00
Stay tuned as I delve into organizing your goals in a way that maximizes their impact
1
SPEAKER_00
and aligns with your overarching life vision.
1
SPEAKER_00
As the euphoria of New Year s Eve celebration settles, it s time to turn our aspirations into action.
1
SPEAKER_00
Effective New Year planning is more than just a list of goals.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s about creating a roadmap for success.
1
SPEAKER_00
Imagine you re at a buffet with every dish that you ve ever loved.
1
SPEAKER_00
You can t possibly eat it all, right?
1
SPEAKER_00
The same goes for our goals.
1
SPEAKER_00
Trying to tackle them all at once is a recipe for indigestion.
1
SPEAKER_00
Let s focus on the most delectable dishes first.
1
SPEAKER_00
After setting SMART goals, it is so crucial to understand how to prioritize them effectively.
1
SPEAKER_00
It all starts with a concept that I refer to in my book, Dream Big, But Start Small.
1
SPEAKER_00
Crafting goals that are not only lofty, but realistic, allows us to appreciate and embrace both the significant and everyday moments that resonate with our deepest values and dreams.
1
SPEAKER_00
Picture our goals as dominoes lined up, knocking down the most significant one
1
SPEAKER_00
triggers success in others.
1
SPEAKER_00
This chain reaction is what we aim for when prioritizing goals based on their impact and urgency.
1
SPEAKER_00
You may have heard of Eisenhower s urgent versus important principle.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s like sorting laundry.
1
SPEAKER_00
You don t mix red socks with white shirts, unless you want everything pink.
1
SPEAKER_00
I want you to imagine a two by two grid with importance on the X axis and urgency on the Y axis.
1
SPEAKER_00
This creates four quadrants.
1
SPEAKER_00
Quadrant 1, which is on the top right, is most urgent and most important.
1
SPEAKER_00
Quadrant 2, which is on the bottom right, is for least urgent and most important.
1
SPEAKER_00
Quadrant 3, on the top left, is for most urgent and least important.
1
SPEAKER_00
And Quadrant 4, on the bottom left, is for least urgent and least important.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now,
1
SPEAKER_00
Take a moment to think about your daily or weekly activities.
1
SPEAKER_00
Everything from meetings and project work to phone calls and email.
1
SPEAKER_00
Where do each one of these fit within the matrix?
1
SPEAKER_00
Place each task or time commitment into the appropriate quadrant.
1
SPEAKER_00
But here s a strategic twist.
1
SPEAKER_00
Add color coding to your tasks.
1
SPEAKER_00
Use the following color coding scheme based on priority.
1
SPEAKER_00
Green aligns with quadrant one.
1
SPEAKER_00
your highest priority items that you must do.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yellow correlates to quadrant two, your second highest priority items that you must schedule.
1
SPEAKER_00
Blue corresponds to quadrant three, which are your third most highest priorities that you can delegate.
1
SPEAKER_00
And red correlates to quadrant four, which are things that are not a priority and you should delete.
1
SPEAKER_00
After you ve categorized your tasks, reflect on your own habits.
1
SPEAKER_00
Which quadrant do you find yourself most often in?
1
SPEAKER_00
If you re not primarily in the upper right, green task quadrant, with a strategic eye on the lower right, the yellow tasks, it might be time to reassess.
1
SPEAKER_00
This means shifting things from the lower right to the upper right when necessary, ensuring that they receive the attention that they deserve.
1
SPEAKER_00
Spending too much time in less productive quadrants can lead to stagnation in both your personal and professional life.
1
SPEAKER_00
This matrix helps us avoid mistaking busyness for productivity because being busy doesn t always equate to us achieving our purpose and passion.
1
SPEAKER_00
Think like an athlete aiming for gold.
1
SPEAKER_00
They concentrate training on where it matters the most.
1
SPEAKER_00
In goal setting, this means going after high-impact objectives that align closely with personal values.
1
SPEAKER_00
A sprinter won t spend time perfecting their backstroke.
1
SPEAKER_00
Focusing too broadly is akin to juggling while on a unicycle.
1
SPEAKER_00
It might look impressive until everything comes crashing down.
1
SPEAKER_00
So choose wisely.
1
SPEAKER_00
Your energy isn t infinite, despite what coffee may promise.
1
SPEAKER_00
In essence, our calendars are a reflection of our priorities and our values.
1
SPEAKER_00
If your calendar needs an overhaul, remember that it s more than just a tool for organization.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a map for intentional living.
1
SPEAKER_00
Next, stay tuned as I dive into overcoming obstacles in the journey towards our goals.
1
SPEAKER_00
Chasing your goals can feel like running a marathon with hurdles.
1
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes those difficulties may appear to be unconquerable.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yet, let s be honest, each barrier is only another tale anticipating to open up.
1
SPEAKER_00
Let s explore how to overcome common obstacles that may stand in your way of achieving your aspirations.
1
SPEAKER_00
The first is confronting self-doubt, which can often be a significant barrier, casting shadows of fear and uncertainty on your abilities.
1
SPEAKER_00
Many grapple with fear of failure or worry about other people s opinions.
1
SPEAKER_00
But remember that you can confront and conquer this doubt.
1
SPEAKER_00
As I discussed in a previous episode, overcoming self-doubt
1
SPEAKER_00
requires cultivating self-awareness, challenging negative thoughts, embracing failure as a growth opportunity, practicing self-compassion, and building positive daily habits.
1
SPEAKER_00
This journey requires patience and perseverance.
1
SPEAKER_00
But gradually, self-doubt gives way to a confident inner voice, empowering you to reach your goals.
1
SPEAKER_00
Next up is the beast known as procrastination.
1
SPEAKER_00
It lurks around every corner, whispering sweet nothings like, do it tomorrow.
1
SPEAKER_00
But here s how you beat it.
1
SPEAKER_00
Start small.
1
SPEAKER_00
Break your tasks into bite-sized pieces, so tiny that they almost seem laughable to avoid.
1
SPEAKER_00
The Psychology Today Guide on Beating Procrastination suggests setting clear mini-deadlines.
1
SPEAKER_00
This way, you get frequent
1
SPEAKER_00
clear doses of accomplishment, which fuel your drive forward.
1
SPEAKER_00
For example, if your goal is to write a book, start with a daily goal of writing something like 300 or 500 words.
1
SPEAKER_00
This approach makes daunting tasks feel achievable and keeps you moving forward.
1
SPEAKER_00
Then there s fanning the flame of motivation.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have found that keeping intrinsic motivation steady can be very tricky.
1
SPEAKER_00
One effective technique that I have found works for me is to connect immediate tasks with long-term goals.
1
SPEAKER_00
Neuroscience suggests creating vivid mental images of success and embedding them into your daily routine.
1
SPEAKER_00
Celebrate each completed task as a step closer to your ultimate goal.
1
SPEAKER_00
The secret sauce?
1
SPEAKER_00
Rewarding yourself regularly, but make sure that these rewards align with your end goal.
1
SPEAKER_00
Think healthy treats if fitness is your jam, or an hour reading up on investments if financial freedom rings true for you.
1
SPEAKER_00
Then there s dealing with the negative people and activities in your life.
1
SPEAKER_00
In my upcoming book, I discuss the impact of negative influences, which I liken to as mosquitoes, for their potential to cause significant and often unseen harm.
1
SPEAKER_00
To create an extraordinary year, it is so crucial to conduct a mosquito audit.
1
SPEAKER_00
First, assess your inner circle.
1
SPEAKER_00
Reflect on the people closest to you and identify any negative traits.
1
SPEAKER_00
Do they support or undermine your goals and well-being?
1
SPEAKER_00
Second, analyze their impact.
1
SPEAKER_00
Evaluate how these individuals affect
1
SPEAKER_00
your mindset, and your progress.
1
SPEAKER_00
Are they uplifting or draining?
1
SPEAKER_00
Third, identify and address energy drains.
1
SPEAKER_00
List out activities or relationships that consist
2
SPEAKER_01
sap your energy, assess their alignment with your values and goals.
2
SPEAKER_01
And then last but not least comes accountability.
2
SPEAKER_01
It matters big time because announcing plans means facing good old social pressure and nobody, let s face it, wants egg on their face.
2
SPEAKER_01
Lock arms with someone who s marching towards similar heights or even better,
2
SPEAKER_01
declare your intentions publicly, you ll be surprised at how much backing out stings when everybody knows what you set out to do.
2
SPEAKER_01
This isn t just tough talk.
2
SPEAKER_01
Science backs this strategy through findings published in associations such as Sage Journal s research on goal achievement and sharing goals publicly.
2
SPEAKER_01
By addressing these obstacles with actionable strategies and a clear mindset, you can pave a smooth path forward towards achieving your goals.
2
SPEAKER_01
Remember that the journey to success is not just about setting goals,
2
SPEAKER_01
but also overcoming the barriers that stand in your way.
2
SPEAKER_01
Now that we ve delved into overcoming obstacles and perfected the art of setting and prioritizing smart goals, I m excited to unveil an incredible opportunity that awaits you in 2024.

You re about to hear a preview of the passion struck podcast interview that I did with Dr. Anthony Yoon, plastic surgeon, author and social media influencer with over 15 million followers.
2
SPEAKER_01
Dr. Yoon is the author of the new book, younger for life, a complete guide to turning back the clock holistically using a process that he calls autojuvenation.
2
SPEAKER_00
The question that I ve always wondered and something that I was looking into when I was writing this book is, does looking younger make you live longer?
2
SPEAKER_00
And the answer actually is, it appears to be so.
2
SPEAKER_00
There was actually a study from Denmark where they looked at something like 1100 people and they re all identical twins.
2
SPEAKER_00
So genetically, they were identical.
2
SPEAKER_00
and they found that the younger looking of the identical twin tended to live longer than the older looking one.
2
SPEAKER_00
But we don t know if that s causation or correlation.
2
SPEAKER_00
Is it that the person looked younger because they had a better lifestyle?
2
SPEAKER_00
Maybe they had healthier habits?
2
SPEAKER_00
Or is it actually the fact that looking younger seems to help you live longer?
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know and it probably is a combination of both.
2
SPEAKER_01
