We’ve come to the end of another year, and it’s a good time to take stock and consider how we’d like to grow and change during our next trip around the sun. In this episode of Being Well, Forrest and Dr. Rick focus on what supports us and what holds us back from reinventing ourselves and becoming all we wish to be.
They talk about how they’d like to change over the next year, different approaches to new year’s resolutions, do a little digging around in Forrest’s psychology, and highlight a few practical things we can do to support our change.
