<p>Happy New Year everyone! It’s not only a new year but it is Episode 50 of The Mind Full Podcast! This week, there’s a very special episode in store for you.</p><br><p>What if the reason change feels so hard isn’t a lack of discipline, motivation, or willpower? In Episode 50 of The Mind Full Podcast, I take a slower, more honest look at busyness, burnout, and the pressure we put on ourselves to “do better” every year. I share my own personal experience from 2017 that changed how I look at stress, self-criticism, and why forcing yourself rarely works.&nbsp;</p><br><p>This isn’t about letting yourself off the hook. It’s about removing the things that are quietly holding you back. Along the way, I explore self-compassion, curiosity, and how noticing what’s actually going on in your head can be the most effective starting point for real change. No guest, no fixing, just a conversation, a bit of breathing space, and a gentler way to approach the year ahead.</p><br><p>If you're new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!</p><br><p>Visit<a href="http://www.dermotwhelan.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> www.dermotwhelan.com</a> for more information and don't forget my latest book Busy and Wrecked is out now!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
