Speaker 1: Pushkin. January is almost here, and the new year is
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for a fresh start to make the
Speaker 1: kinds of changes that will make us healthier and happier.
Speaker 1: But it's also a time where there are lots of
Speaker 1: voices competing for our attention, like the ones telling us
Speaker 1: that it's a new year, so we better get fit
Speaker 1: and find the perfect new gym or diet, or that
Speaker 1: it's finally time to update our resumes and start pushing
Speaker 1: ourselves more in our careers. And at the start of
Speaker 1: the new year, all these cultural messages can start to
Speaker 1: feel deafening. They get so loud that it can be
Speaker 1: hard to hear that inner voice of what we really
Speaker 1: want and need. So in our upcoming special New Year's
Speaker 1: season of the Happiness Lab, we're going to find ways
Speaker 1: to hush those overbearing voices. We're going to learn about
Speaker 1: ways that we can pay attention to a wise voice
Speaker 1: that often gets drowned out by all the noise. It's
Speaker 1: the voice inside us, our intuition about what we really need,
Speaker 1: our inner compass, if you will, It's the voice that
Speaker 1: will actually guide us in the right direction in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three. If we can find ways to listen. So
Speaker 1: with the help of my favorite scientists and experts, we'll
Speaker 1: be finding ways to finally hear that inner voice. We'll
Speaker 1: tackle overwork and explore whether striving for career success is
Speaker 1: really the route to happiness. In twenty twenty three, my
Speaker 1: peer group have been searching for work as a way
Speaker 1: to make themselves whole, and I think it actually sets
Speaker 1: us up for a lot of disappointment. Too many of
Speaker 1: us bring the best of ourselves to work and then
Speaker 1: bring the leftovers home. And we'll see why latching onto
Speaker 1: fad New Year's diets and exercise plans may not be
Speaker 1: the best ways to give our bodies what they're really craving.
Speaker 1: Prepare to be seduced by those few years fad diets,
Speaker 1: And when I look back now, I think how unrealistic
Speaker 1: of me to think that an issue as calm lex
Speaker 1: as body image could just be fixed because it's a
Speaker 1: date on the calendar. And we'll explore some effective strategies
Speaker 1: for living in the moment, especially at New Year's when
Speaker 1: so many voices tell us to shoot for the next
Speaker 1: big future thing. It's just hard, man, It's really, it's really,
Speaker 1: it's really hard to be present so if you want
Speaker 1: to gain a new perspective and figure out what you
Speaker 1: really want in the new year, join me doctor Laurie
Speaker 1: Santo's for a special New Year's season of the Happiness
Speaker 1: Lab starting January second, and give your wise inner voice
Speaker 1: a chance to be heard.
