Could seeking feedback from your loved ones about what they hope you’ll change in the coming year lead to surprising insights and personal growth? 

Picture this: I'm sitting across from my therapist, and in an unexpected twist, I ask her to craft a New Year's resolution just for me. Her answer? Learn to relax and chill more. This suggestion threw me for a loop, challenging my deeply ingrained beliefs about productivity and the innate fear of laziness.     Next, I explore the intriguing idea of asking children or partners for New Year's resolutions, a concept that emerged from a discussion with friends. I dare my listeners to ask these challenging questions. What if you could foster deeper connections and self-improvement? While receiving feedback can be difficult, it can also be a valuable opportunity to enhance relationships and personal well-being in the new year.
