The Ultimate New Year's Resolution | Susan Piver and Jeff Warren

Published: Dec. 28, 2020, 8 a.m.

b'New Year\\u2019s Series Episode 1. We talk with expert meditation teachers Susan Piver and Jeff Warren about a radical approach to the new year: self-compassion. Susan and Jeff help introduce the New Year\\u2019s Meditation Challenge launching in the Ten Percent Happier app. And we respond to listener voicemail questions about how to operationalize self-love in our everyday lives.\\nThat\\u2019s right, we\\u2019re going all-in on self-love: leaning into the cheese, diving into the fondue, surfing the brie (a phrase that you\\u2019ll hear one of our guests today coin in real time). But I want to be clear: this is not sap for the sake of sap -- this is sap for the sake of science, and sanity.\\xa0\\nAs tens of millions of us go about the annual, humiliating ritual of making and then abandoning New Year\\u2019s resolutions, there is ample evidence that you are more likely to achieve your long-term goals if you pursue those goals not out of self-loathing or shame (which is the not-so-subtle subtext of the whole \\u2018New Year, New You\\u2019 slogan) but instead with self-love -- or self-compassion.\\nSo we have a whole bonanza of programming for you. First, our New Year\\u2019s Series starts today here on the podcast. Over the next few weeks, we\\u2019ve got a blockbuster lineup, including scientists, meditation teachers, and Karamo, star of the hit Netflix show Queer Eye and a vocal proponent of self-love.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nHow to join the New Year\\u2019s Challenge:\\n\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0Download the Ten Percent Happier app directly in the Apple App Store (for iPhone/iPad): http://apple.co/1V7sqo9 or the Google Play store (for Android phones): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.changecollective.tenpercenthappier\\xa0\\n\\xb7\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0If you are new to Ten Percent Happier, tap Get Started to register an account.
