00:00:00 --> 00:00:01 It's a new year,

00:00:01 --> 00:00:04 so of course we're talking about resolutions,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05 our relationship to them,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 and how to reframe them for success instead.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12 Tune in.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:12 Hello,

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18 chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:26 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35 Here's a truth we forget every January.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:39 Your brain doesn't change just because the calendar does.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:45 Resolutions feel exciting, but they also create pressure.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50 And pressure can trigger the very overwhelm you're trying to escape.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54 So if you've been feeling behind already, breathe.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56 You're not failing.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57 You're human.

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59 As we discussed recently,

00:00:59 --> 00:01:04 our brains love small wins over sweeping declarations.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 Just like with bodily exercise,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 the brain responds to gentle reps,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 not overnight reinvention.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16 I've spoken a bit about smart goals.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:21 Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26 So rather than wondering how to become a whole new person this year,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27 try asking,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:32 what's one tiny thing I can do today that supports the person

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33 I'm becoming?

00:01:34 --> 00:01:38 Maybe it's a Bible verse or two instead of a whole reading plan

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39 each day.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42 Maybe it's drinking water upon waking.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47 Maybe it's staying outside for just a little longer each day.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51 Maybe it's choosing rest without the guilt.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55 Resolutions don't have to be dramatic to be meaningful.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57 They just have to be kind.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 And when you choose kindness toward yourself,

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04 your mental health gets a little more room to breathe.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09 So if today feels heavy, let this be your permission slip.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12 You're allowed to start small.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 You're allowed to start again.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19 And you're allowed to grow at the pace your nervous system can

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21 actually hold.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27 Isaiah 43 18 and 19 says, "'Do not call to mind the former things.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 Pay no attention to the things of old.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33 Behold, I am about to do something new.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 Even now it is coming.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36 Do you not see it?

00:02:37 --> 00:02:43 Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert.'"

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 Starting small is still a start.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50 Let God start anew with you.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55 What's one micro change you're willing to make today?

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57 Chime in below.
