Why I Stopped Making New Year’s Resolutions (And What I Do Instead)

For decades, I watched people set New Year’s resolutions with good intentions, only to abandon them weeks later. I used to do the same, until I found a better way.

In this video, I walk through the questions I ask, why reflection beats perfection, and how any day can become a reset if you’re willing to pause and look clearly.
