This is the first podcast of the New Year, 2023! Most podcasts this time of year are going to all about resolutions and of course that is an important topic but I want to talk about something slightly different, and that is actually how a little extra weight can help you as you go into 2023. In a new year, when a calendar starts there's a push to be better. And as a health and wellness and personal life coach I endorse that and I'm all about bettering yourself. However, there can be alot of pressure to push yourself too hard at times like these, and that's why alot of people don't stick to those new years resolutions because they aren't really focused on something for the long game. We talk about weight as something you should lose.  But here's something you should gain as we head into the new year. Not all weight and tension is bad. It can actually be a good thing this time of year. It serves a purpose. There are seasons where we need to carry some more weight, tension and stress. It would probably feel great if it was all gone, and there are seasons like that. I just want to encourage you, if you feel some extra tension right now. It is moving you forward and you are absolutely capable of tackling it!
