Your Ultimate Comeback

Quitter's Day: How to Break Free from Resolutions & Build Unstoppable Confidence EP 60

Brad Davidson & Raquel Perry Season 1 Episode 60

Welcome to episode 60 of Your Ultimate Comeback! In this episode, we dive into the concept of Quitter's Day, which falls on the second Friday of January. This day marks a significant moment when over 90% of people abandon their New Year's resolutions. As your co-hosts, Brad and Raquel, we reflect on our own experiences with resolutions and the importance of setting meaningful goals. Instead of traditional resolutions, we discuss a unique approach where we focus on what we want to leave behind and what we want to bring into the new year. This perspective encourages personal growth and self-reflection, allowing us to shed fears and failures from the past year. 

We also share our recent experiences, including a memorable New Year's Eve celebration in Costa Rica, where we participated in a beautiful tradition of writing down fears and failures to let go of them. This practice not only fosters a sense of closure but also empowers us to embrace new beginnings. 

Additionally, we explore the significance of confidence in achieving our goals. We discuss the book 'The Confident Mind' by Dr. J. Zinsser, which offers valuable insights into building unshakeable confidence. The strategies outlined in the book emphasize the importance of focusing on our strengths and successes rather than dwelling on our mistakes. By implementing these techniques, we can cultivate a positive mindset that propels us forward in our personal and professional lives.

Join us as we navigate the challenges of aging, the impact of societal expectations, and the power of positive affirmations. We believe that by embracing our strengths and letting go of negativity, we can truly transform our lives and achieve our goals. Let's make this year the best one yet, filled with confidence, strength, and personal growth!
