FAVORITES LIKE THE HOGWARTS CASTLE FROM HARRY POTTER EXHIBIT RUNS THROUGH SUNDAY. A WEEK FROM
TODAY IS KNOWN AS QUITTERS DAY
THE DAY THAT MOST PEOPLE GIVE UP
ON THEIR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION,
BUT THAT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THE
CASE. FOR ALL OF US. THERE ARE
SOME EFFICIENT WAYS TO APPROACH
THE TRADITIONAL NEW YEAR’S
RESOLUTION AND SET YOURSELF UP
FOR SUCCESS. WHICH WE LOVE. NOW
JOINING US TO HELP NAVIGATE OUR
PATH TO THE START OF THE NEW
YEAR AND GET IT OFF ON THE RIGHT
START IS RONNIE HORMEL’S
THERAPIST AT BIRMINGHAM MAPLE
CLINIC. AND, OF COURSE, FRIEND
OF THE SHOW. IT IS SO GOOD TO
HAVE YOU BACK ON THE SHOW. IT IS
SO GOOD TO BE BACK. IT’S ALWAYS
A BLESSING TO DO THE SHOW WITH
YOU, BUT I’M JUST SO EXCITED TO
BE LIKE BACK IN STUDIO. WE
HAVEN’T SEEN EACH OTHER IN REAL
LIFE AND YEARS AND ZOOM 2019 IN
REAL. YEAH SKYPE AND ZOOM CRAZY
CRAZY, BUT HERE WE ARE, BUT YOU
SHOULD SAY THAT WE SHOULD FOCUS
ON MAKING INTENTIONS AND NOT
RESOLUTIONS. WHY IS THIS
IMPORTANT AND ARE WE MORE LIKELY
TO STICK TO INTENTIONS? WE ARE
SO GET RID OF THE RESOLUTIONS.
INTENTIONS ARE SO MUCH EASIER
AND FLEXIBLE, AND THEN IT
ELIMINATES US POSSIBLY FEELING
LIKE WE FAILED. OKAY SO, FOR
INSTANCE, THIS IS ONE OF MY
INTENTIONS. IS TO REALLY PAY
MORE ATTENTION TO MY WELLNESS,
SO THAT’S GOING TO ENCOMPASS
WALKS. WALK WITH MY DOG, MAYBE
EATING A LITTLE BIT HEALTHIER
FOOD. LESS PHONE TIME BEFORE I
GO TO BED. SO, FOR INSTANCE, IT
IT’S SOMETHING LIKE I’M ONLY
GOING TO USE MY PHONE UNTIL FIVE
O’CLOCK AT NIGHT OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT. AS SOON AS WE DON’T
FEEL LIKE A FAILURE, WITH
WELLNESS, BEING A LARGER
UMBRELLA WITH OTHER THINGS, YOU
KNOW I’M GOING TO BE MORE
FRIENDLY. I’M GOING TO GO OUT.
I’M GOING TO TRY NEW THINGS.
IT’S NOT SO SPECIFIC. I LIKE
THAT. AND YOU HAVE AN INTENTION
TO JAR. WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT
THAT? SO COOL EVERYBODY. YOU
KNOW THINGS ARE EXPENSIVE RIGHT
NOW. SO I’M LIKE, LISTEN,
EVERYBODY, THIS CAN ALL BE
REALLY CHEAP. CHEAP. WRITE DOWN
SOME INTENTIONS THAT YOU HAVE AS
JUST REALLY BASIC NOTEBOOK,
CHEAT NOTEBOOK AND WHAT THAT
WHAT YOU DID, BECAUSE USUALLY WE
ACTUALLY DO MORE THAN WE THINK.
OKAY SO IF WE’RE TRYING TO DO
SOMETHING LIKE I’M TRYING TO BE
MORE MINDFUL I’M TRYING TO TAKE
CARE OF MY MENTAL HEALTH. I’M
TRYING TO WALK MORE RIGHT WHAT
WE DID FOR THAT DAY, FOLD IT UP.
PUT IT INSIDE JAR? YES OKAY,
AVAILABLE AT MEIJER ALSO
INEXPENSIVE AND YES, AND YOU
KNOW WHEN YOU’RE FEELING LIKE,
OH MY GOSH, IT’S FEBRUARY 1ST.
IT’S MARCH 1ST HOW FAR ALONG AM
I? I WANTED TO BE FURTHER YOU GO
IN HERE. YOU PULL IT OUT BECAUSE
OFTENTIMES WE ARE DOING MORE
THAN WE THINK. I LOVE THAT. I
LOVE THAT IDEA. NOW YOU SAY THAT
WE SHOULD ALSO CHART OUR WAY TO
SUCCESS. BRING THINGS INTO OUR
LIFE THAT YOU KNOW ARE ARE YOU
ARE ASKED AND GIVE US LIFE. SO
HOW DO WE DO THAT? OKAY SO BY
TRAINING OUR WAY TO SUCCESS ALSO
, I RECOMMEND SIMILAR TO THIS BY
ANOTHER CHEAPO FLIP NOTEBOOK.
SOME PLACES EVEN GET THEM FOR
FREE. AND I HAVE ONE. MY FRIEND
GOT ME FROM BOOST MOBILE BECAUSE
HE WORKED THERE AGAIN. THIS DOES
NOT NEED TO BE FANCY AND GO INTO
WHAT WORKED FOR YOU TODAY AND
WHAT DIDN’T AND WE NEED TO BRING
SO MANY OF US. I THINK WE ALL
KNOW IN THE PAST THREE YEARS
WERE ABLE TO DISCOVER A LOT OF
BURNOUT. FEELINGS ARE FEELING
OVERWHELMED. DON’T NEED TO SPEND
A LOT OF TIME IN THAT. I THINK
WE GET IT THE WAY TO AVOID THAT
AND KIND OF PAY ATTENTION TO
OKAY. IS THIS NEW THING? IS THIS
FULFILLING WHERE I WANT TO GO OR
IS THIS KIND OF NOT AND WE NEED
TO BRING IN THIS SELF CARE THAT
IS BUILDING US UP. SO, FOR
INSTANCE, I LOVE THE MOVIES. SO
I BROUGHT THIS. THIS IS
SOMETHING I ENJOY IT NIGHT. OKAY
RIGHT MOVIE AND YOU KNOW WHAT
I’M TRYING TO DO NOW, WHICH
SOUNDS SIMPLE, BUT WE’RE ALL
DOING IT. I’M WATCHING T V AND
MOVIES SANDS MY PHONE. WE’RE
DOING IT RIGHT. WE GOT SOME
CLAPS OVER HERE CRYING. IT’S SO
HARD. I’M LIKE, JUST WATCHING A
SHOW. NO NOT ON MY PHONE. UM
COOKING IS SOMETHING GREAT,
RIGHT? SO THESE ARE TWO OF MY
FAVORITE NEW COOKBOOKS THAT I’M
KINDA FUTZING AROUND WITH RIGHT
NOW AND MAKING DELICIOUS FOOD.
IT’S A WAY TO NURTURE OURSELVES
. SO THIS IS ALL PART OF
BUILDING OUR RESTORATIVE HEALTH
. RESTORATIVE HEALTH IN CHARTING
, YOU KNOW, TWO SUCCESSIVE. SO
HOW CAN AND THIS IS ALSO YOU
KNOW WE CAN BE FLEXIBLE WITH
OKAY. WHAT’S NOT WORKING? LIKE
THESE RECIPES ARE NOT. YES IT’S
GROWING. IT’S KEEPING OUR
INTENTIONS AND IT’S ALSO
BRINGING US THIS BEAUTIFUL
FLEXIBILITY WHILE BRINGING IN
SELF CARE. I LOVE IT NOW REALLY
QUICKLY GIVE US SOME FINAL WORDS
OF ENCOURAGEMENT SO THAT WE
ACTUALLY SURVIVED. QUITTERS DAY
NEXT FRIDAY, YOU KNOW, JUST KEEP
GOING. DON’T GIVE UP. NO ONE
REALLY CARES AND BE FLEXIBLE,
FLEXIBLE WITH WHAT’S NOT
WORKING. THAT’S A BLESSING.
THAT’S IT. KNOWING WHAT’S NOT
