Okay, So if you 279 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: checks haven't chosen your word of the year yet, let's 280 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 2: talk through why it's beneficial. You know, we've spoken through 281 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: our individual ones and why they feel good. But here's 282 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: why you should choose a word of the year. 283 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: Oh and then tell us comment comment on the potty 284 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: what your word of the year is. 285 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 2: So the number one reason is clarity and focus. So 286 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: it simplifies that decision making, I guess, and gives you 287 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 2: a north star to look to when things do feel 288 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 2: chaotic and overwhelming, which I think is really helpful because 289 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: sometimes you can feel like, oh, but I need to 290 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: be this and I need to listen. It's easy to. 291 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: Get distracted as well, because everyone I think January eighth 292 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: is the day that nearly half of people give up 293 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: on their news resolutions or New Year's goals, right, and 294 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: it is really easy to have your life vision and 295 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: goals are just as. 296 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 3: You're continuing through the year, even though we're only in January. 297 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: Like, I can definitely say that some of the things 298 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: that I was thinking as out of the year aren't 299 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: what I'm thinking now because they just change. Whereas like 300 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: having one word that's kind of like a guiding word 301 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: gives room for flexibility, and like you said, it's like 302 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: a north star, so you can kind of go through 303 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: the evolving changes that is just fucking life and ask 304 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: yourself does this align. 305 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 3: With my word? 306 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: So you know, if I was going to start doing 307 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: a fuck ton of more work in some sort of area, 308 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: I'd be like, does this align? 309 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,119 Speaker 3: Okay, I probably need a repreioriti. 310 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to come and whisper No. 311 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 3: Now, see, C only knows what I'm like. I'm like, 312 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 3: you start throe new business. 313 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 2: Yes. 314 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 4: I was like, I'm teeth please, I'm like thrifting with 315 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 4: like literally seventeen blue jeans in my arms and You're like, yes, 316 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 4: I'm like. 317 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: Well please that I need a boot cut. And then 318 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: the second reason why having a word of the year 319 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: is beneficial is because unlike resolutions that focus on what 320 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: to do, a word of the year emphasizes how to 321 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: approach life, and similar to what we were just saying, 322 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: I think this just gives you so much more guidance 323 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: because you can know what you want, but how to 324 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: get it is a completely different ball game. 325 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 3: And kind of like what you were saying before. 326 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 2: The third reason that it's beneficial is flexibility, because having 327 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 2: goals are amazing and great, but as you mentioned, things change, 328 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: especially throughout a year, let alone from day to day, 329 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: and having a Word of the Year can keep you 330 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 2: accountable and keep you on track without making you feel 331 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 2: like a failure or you're off track if things. 332 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 3: Do change slightly. 333 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're allowed to change your goals as the 334 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: year progresses. But if you have that word of the 335 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 2: year keeping you accountable, you can make sure it still 336 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: aligns to what you truly want, which I think is 337 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: so important. 338 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 3: Do you have any goals this year? 339 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 2: Nah? 340 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 5: No, I. 341 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: Like, I don't really feel like I do, like in 342 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: terms of how I've kind of got into this year 343 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: compared to last year. 344 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 3: Like last year, I had a full vision. 345 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: Board and decked out, and I had all these goals 346 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: that were so measurable, so numerical, and all such annual goals, 347 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: but so many of those happened, and then this year 348 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: I just am feeling such a gentler approach, which I 349 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: think is the theme that's I'm repeating myself with that. 350 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 2: I'm like, my. 351 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: Goals are very much aligned just to that one word, 352 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: and my goals are literally like to have more fun. Yeah, 353 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: Like I don't have a single thing that's like run 354 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: five k's or save this much money. I think it's 355 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: more aligned to just being a little bit lighter this year. Yeah, 356 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: having a little bit less expectation of myself, which is 357 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: sometimes what you need to do when you have had. 358 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 3: A really big year, or you have had a really 359 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: intense year. Maybe last year you went through a breakup. 360 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: Maybe last year you decided that the career that you're 361 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: pursuing isn't necessarily for you, or you moved out of 362 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: home and you're struggling with that. 363 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 3: Whatever that is. 364 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: If last year felt like just the downward part of 365 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: a roller coaster and your tummy is flipping and you're like, 366 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: is this ever going fucking end? Yeah, then going into 367 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five being a little bit gentle is probably 368 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: the right way to go through because you can always 369 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: add them in. 370 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can get. 371 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: Car halfway through the year and be like, okay, do 372 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: you know what I do? Want to write down some goals. 373 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: I think having an intention for the year is always important, 374 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: like not going in and raw dogging it, but not 375 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: necessarily like writing a list of expectations for yourself when 376 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: you're already a little bit tired. 377 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 378 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that's the thing. Like with the 379 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 2: word of the year, it could be fun, or it 380 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: could be joy, or it could be friendship. It doesn't 381 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 2: have to be reinvention or you know, elevation or something 382 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 2: that's about self betement in the traditional way. It can 383 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 2: be something that is purely about feeling better and feeling happier. 384 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: And I think I do have goals for the year, 385 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: but a lot of them are in line with that 386 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 2: to kind of rain me in. 387 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: Okay, So how to get the most out of a 388 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: word of the year. 389 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 3: So Number one is having visual reminders. 390 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: After doing a vision board last year, it was crazy 391 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: how much of it actually happened. 392 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 3: When we were making them last year, I was like, 393 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 3: fuck it, I'll just put it on.

On the left side, write down what goals 488 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 2: you've wanted to achieve, and then next to those in 489 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: the right column, write down some of the things that 490 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 2: you have told yourself that have stopped you from achieving 491 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 2: those goals. 492 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 5: Like I'll start tomorrow exactly, yeah, or i'm really tired, 493 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 5: I'll just sleep in another ten minutes ah ah, or 494 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 5: I work. 495 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 3: Better under pressure. 496 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: It just seems like a reader. 497 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 3: Nos. 498 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: A lot of these are things that I wrote down 499 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: in my right hand column. They're not they're definitely it's 500 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 2: not personal. But by defining exactly what these permissive thoughts are, 501 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 2: in those moments when you don't want to do something 502 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: that's a little bit hard but you know it is 503 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: good for you and will help you achieve those goals, 504 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: something will go off in your brain and you'll say 505 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 2: that's a permissive thought and you can swap it with 506 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 2: something else. So instead of saying to yourself, I work 507 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: better under pressure, so I'll start right before it's due, 508 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 2: reframe that and say, I know i'll get stressed the 509 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 2: day before and I'll be able to produce a better 510 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 2: piece of work if I give myself more time to 511 00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: work on it. 512 00:25:59,560 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. 513 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 2: And I think it's just being conscious of those things 514 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 2: and being conscious of those permissive thoughts that are holding 515 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 2: you back, and because the alternative is that you never 516 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 2: change them and you keep acting on these permissive thoughts. 517 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: And something that was really hard for me to do, 518 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 2: but really cemented this and why this is so important 519 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 2: for me is that it was like, Okay, well, the 520 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 2: alternative is you don't change them. 521 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 3: So what happens? 522 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: You say, I always choose work over spending time with 523 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 2: my partner. I always choose sitting down and scrolling on 524 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 2: TikTok instead of reading the book that's on my bedside table. 525 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 2: I choose to sleep in instead of going to the gym. 526 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 2: And it's like, you always choose this because I think 527 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 2: we kind of lie to ourselves that those are our priorities. 528 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 3: But they're not. 529 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 2: And it's these things we tell ourselves because it change 530 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,479 Speaker 2: is really hard, and I think we try and you know, 531 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 2: ease the blow to ourselves and be like, oh no, 532 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 2: but it's you know, it'll slow down after the soil. 533 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 3: I'll do it tomorrow, or it's only fifty dollars. 534 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 2: All these little things are trying to convince us to 535 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 2: just stay in these same patterns and habits that we've 536 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 2: been doing. But it is a difficult exercise, but I 537 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 2: really do recommend it because it will make you realize 538 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 2: that your priorities don't currently align with your values and. 539 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 3: Your actions and something really good to do. 540 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 2: I think at the beginning of the year, especially. 541 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: Next cheat code and last cheat code of this episode, the. 542 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 3: Rule of one hundred. 543 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: You're gonna like this because this is actually so aligned 544 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: to your word of the year. 545 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 3: So I just it was like I just told you 546 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 3: Sana was coming in the studio. 547 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: I recently read this and became utterly obsessed with it. 548 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 3: And it's called the rule of one hundred. 549 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: So if you spend one hundred hours a year in 550 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: any discipline, which is only eighteen minutes a day, you'll 551 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: be better than ninety five percent of the world in 552 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: that discipline. Consistency is everything. So this is Jade Bonacoult's quote, 553 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: and it highlights the incredible power of consistency and the 554 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: high impact of small daily efforts over time, because when 555 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: you break down it down to eighteen minutes, Like if 556 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: I said I want you to spend one hundred hours 557 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: this year learning Italian, you'd. 558 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 3: Be like, I didn't have one hundred hours. 559 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: I didn't have one hundred hours a year to spend 560 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: learning how to play a new instrument or journaling or 561 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: learning a new language. But when you realize it's only 562 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: eighteen minutes a day, and think about how many minutes 563 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: a day you scroll on your phone. It's really easy 564 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: to actually achieve one hundred hours a year bettering yourself 565 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: in some way that's not necessarily self development, it's not 566 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: necessarily about that. But I think any way that you're 567 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: spending time that is building consistency in a hobby or 568 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: an interest or journaling or gratitude or whatever it is, 569 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: you're so much better off for that instead of the 570 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: shit dover I mean. 571 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 3: You get from strolling on your phone. 572 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: So the key to the rule of one hundred is consistency. 573 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: Regular daily practice is more effective than sporadic, intensive efforts, 574 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: and this approach helps build habits and ensures steady improvement. 575 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 3: I love that. 576 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, So what would you spend eighteen minutes doing a day? 577 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 3: What do you want to spend This is my follow 578 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,959 Speaker 3: up question, follow up, follow up? 579 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: What do you want to spend one hundred hours doing 580 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: this year? 581 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 3: I think it's walking for me. Did you buy a 582 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 3: walking pad yet? 583 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 5: No? 584 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 3: I haven't mine comes today. 585 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: Well, I can't wait to hear the full review, obviously, 586 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 2: but I've made more of an effort to walk instead 587 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: of getting an uber or public transport where I can 588 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 2: and building that into my routine only. 589 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 3: Two weeks in.
