The discussion explores how individuals and businesses can approach the New Year with a mindset focused on positive change, aligning actions with core values, and the importance of verbalizing goals to trusted, unbiased listeners for clarity and accountability. The podcast also touches on the challenges of maintaining long-term changes and strategies to sustain motivation beyond initial enthusiasm.
In this episode, we discuss:
Forward-Looking Approach: Casey Jackson emphasizes the importance of a forward-looking approach in motivational interviewing, contrasting it with traditional psychotherapy that often delves into the past.
Cultural Reflections: The hosts discuss how different cultures view relaxation and being present, highlighting the often hectic pace of life in the U.S.
The Journey of Change: The concept of life being a journey, not just a destination, is explored, suggesting that sustainable change involves enjoying the process, not just focusing on the end goal.
The Impact of COVID-19: The pandemic is mentioned as a catalyst for people to reassess their lives, priorities, and what truly matters to them, similar to the reflection that occurs around the New Year.
Sustainability of Change: The hosts discuss the importance of making sustainable changes that align with one's values, rather than temporary or superficial adjustments.
Role of External Feedback: John Gilbert emphasizes the value of having external measures or feedback to complement internal reflection and ensure alignment with values and goals.
The Concept of a 'New Day': Casey Jackson introduces the idea of each day being a new opportunity to progress towards goals, rather than seeing setbacks as complete restarts.
