EP04: 4 Tips to Make Your New Year’s Resolutions Stick

“Reinvention isn’t a one-time event. It’s a journey we take one step at a time, and we can take that journey whenever we choose.”

 

Joyeuses fêtes! With 2025 just around the corner, Jane Bertch invites us to embrace a kinder, more intentional approach to personal development and New Year’s resolutions. Wouldn’t it be better if resolutions felt inspiring rather than overwhelming? In this episode, Jane shares four meaningful rituals to help us reflect on the past, dream about the future, and set the tone for a fulfilling year ahead.

 

From reflecting on the past year to imagining your ideal future, each practice is designed to ground your intentions and inspire action. Whether it’s crafting your ideal day or finding gratitude in life’s small moments, these tools encourage us to see resolutions as more than goals—they become a way to shape the life we want. Ready to start 2025 with fresh energy? Find your focus and make this your most intentional year yet. Visit janebertch.com for journaling prompts to help you start this journey.

 

Quotes

• “I really go into a deep dive of, ‘How did the year look for me?’ ‘How did I feel?’ ‘Did it live up to the expectations that I hoped, that I achieve the things that I want?’ …I really start to think about how I felt. What do I want to take into the year ahead? And, importantly, what do I want to leave behind?” (03:11 | Jane Bertch)
• “I know that we put so much stress on ourselves with intentions and resolutions and projects. But I hope these four little small rituals might slightly shift the way you look at those and do take time to capture them through journaling. Write down and see how you feel.” (13:09 | Jane Bertch) 
• “If my goal is to be a public speaker on big stages across the world, that is the cause. The effect is how I feel. So if I can focus on those feelings that I want out of 2025, perhaps they’ll be delivered through public speaking, perhaps they’ll be delivered through another way I had not even considered.” (13:40 | Jane Bertch)
• “Reinvention isn’t a one-time event. It’s a journey we take one step at a time, and we can take that journey whenever we choose.” (15:21 | Jane Bertch)
