What if you could tell the whole truth about your life, including all those tender and visible things we don't usually talk about?
Starting point is 00:00:37 I'm Megan Devine. Host of the podcast, it's okay that you're not okay. Look everyone's at least a little bit not okay these days, and all those things we don't usually talk about, maybe we should.

Our time to be carefree, make mistakes, and figure out our lives.
Starting point is 00:01:07 But what can psychology teach us about this time? I'm Gemma Speg, the host of the Psychology of Your 20s. Each week, we take a deep dive into a unique aspect of our 20s. From career anxiety, mental health, heartbreak, money, and much more to explore the science behind our experiences. The psychology of your 20s hosted by me, Gemma Speg. Listen now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. No matter what your new resolution is, it's not the resolution which creates the likelihood or the probability of whether you'll get there or not. It's actually your approach.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Happy New Year on Purpose listeners. I am so excited, so grateful, so passionate, so ready to be back. In the New Year, this is our first solo episode of 2022 and you've made it ready to transform your life ready to build your life ready to go after your ambitions your goals whatever you've been pursuing whatever you've been dreaming of This is a time that we all use to reset. And I am so excited to be talking to you today. I can't believe it.

I read the audiobook. If you haven't got it already, make sure you go to eight rules of love.com. It's dedicated to anyone who's trying to find, keep or let go of love. So if you've got

Go to jsheditour.com to learn more information about tickets, VIP experiences and more. I can't wait to see you this year. Now I get it. This can be tough. This can be tiresome. This can seem hopeless. How many of you get to this time of year and think to yourself, oh, not again, I'm going to set a resolution, I'm going to set a transformation, I'm going to set a goal, and then I'm going to fail, and I'm going to feel overwhelmed, and I'm going to feel like a failure, and there's if I didn't make it,
Starting point is 00:03:41 and there's if everyone else is achieving their goals, but I'm not achieving mine. And it can put a lot of pressure on us. It can put a lot of stress. It can put a lot of weight and burden on our shoulders, feeling not this time of year again. Or you're at the other end of the spectrum where you love setting new goals, you love starting over, you love that new diary, that new journal, you love turning over to January 1st and seeing that blank slate, but deep inside, there's a little voice of doubt, of dilemma, confusion, knowing that you still don't know what you're working on. Well, what I want to share with you in this podcast is not how to set your goals. I think we all know that setting your goals doesn't mean you get there.
Starting point is 00:04:33 I also think we know that just writing down what you want to manifest doesn't just work that way. Today I want to talk to you about the real manifestation. Today I want to talk to you about the real manifestation. Today I want to talk to you about how manifestation actually works. Today I want to talk to you about how results are actually created. Because I remember what it felt like being in that position, setting goals year after year after year, setting targets and feeling like I wasn't even close. I know what that feels like because I've been there and five years ago I started doing something very
Starting point is 00:05:11 different and I saw very different results in my life. I started creating content five years ago that's how you probably discovered me through my videos, my podcast or my book and as things have grown, and as I've grown learned, I want to pass on all the lessons, all the learnings, all the practical tips that I've learned along the way to you. As we start this, I want to first dive into some statistics and data for us to understand. And I was looking at a survey on UGOV. And it said that around 16% of people say they will make a new as resolution
Starting point is 00:05:49 compared to 11% who said they made a resolution this time last year. It's a fairly low amount. Now, young people were by far the most likely to be setting themselves a new year's resolution with nearly a third, 32% of those age between 18 and 24 compared to 10% of those aged 55 and over. Now, let's talk about what kind of New Year's resolutions people are making.
Starting point is 00:06:14 For the third year in a row, health and fitness come top of the list of people's resolutions they plan on making. With the most popular among those making resolutions being to do more exercise or improve their fitness. Now I'm sure many of you have those things on your list and another 41% say they want to commit to improving their diet, 40% want to lose weight and the list goes on and on all the way through to pursuing a career ambition, spending less time on social media, taking up a new hobby, cutting down on drinking or smoking, and even raising money for a charity. So we can see that there are lots of different types of New Year's resolutions, but here's
Starting point is 00:06:55 what I find fascinating. No matter what your New Year's resolution is, it's not the resolution which creates the likelihood or the probability of whether you will get there or not. It's actually your approach. It's your methodology of manifestation to get those results. And as we've seen in the past, we don't tend to be as good at those because every year we feel quite far away, right?
Starting point is 00:07:24 We feel quite distant from our resolutions. And I'm sure you've experienced that too. So today I'm going to give you a series of steps to help you learn and understand how manifesting and getting your results really, truly happens. Now, the first thing I want to start off with is step one. We live in a culture and a society that is goal based. It all starts with what's your goal?
Starting point is 00:07:56 Where do you want to get to? What do you want to happen at the end? What is the result that you desire? Do you desire a new house, a new car, a new job, a new vacation, a new body? It's all about what is that new thing that you want? It has got nothing to develop the mindset to get there. Western society operates on a results on a results mindset. A results led approach. Spiritual traditions or Eastern society is based on an intention led approach. Are you being led by your results or are you being led by your intention? Your intention is so much more powerful than any result.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Because when you don't get the result you wanted, that doesn't help you. But when you know what your intention is, that intention keeps fueling you even when you don't get the result you want. I'll give an example. Let's say you've been trying to go to the gym three times a week and you end up making it once a week.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Now from a results point of view, you have missed your target, missed your goal. But if your intention is, I really want to do this to be healthy and fit for my family, I really want to do this for my own health and well-being. That intention is going to fuel you to get to that three times a week. But when your result focused, when your result led, as soon as you don't reach that result, you're pressuring yourself. You start talking down to yourself. So I want you to focus more on the intention than you do on the result. Stop looking at your calendar going, well, why haven't I made it five times this week? Why haven't I been able to lose this much weight this week? Because that leads to critical
Starting point is 00:09:51 conversation with yourself. It leads to a lot of self-judgment and a lot of self-sabotage. But the idea that I'm doing this because why are we doing it? What is your intention? What is your input? The Western world makes us focus on output. My question to you is, what is your input? What is it that you are bringing in to this process? So I want you to sit down and for whatever
Starting point is 00:10:21 your goal or resolution is, I want you to deeply connect with your intention for why it's so important. Why is it important for you to lose weight? Why is it important for you to improve your diet? Why is it important for you to exercise more? Why is it important for you to spend time on social media less? Why is it important to cut down on drinking or smoking?
Starting point is 00:10:44 I know that the people who've made their biggest changes in their life, their reason was deep. When we say dig deep, you will dig so much deeper when your reason is deep. But if you haven't really thought about really articulated, really written down, really communicated your reason. You can't go further. You can't go deeper than your reasoning and your intention. You can't dig deeper than that. You can't dig deeper than your intention or your reasoning. So make your intention really deep.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Make your intention really profound and powerful. Now, the second step I want to share with you is why we need to monitor obsessively. Now what I mean by this is, as you start the week and as weeks go by, months go by, what we often do is we go, oh, well, last week I didn't make it. That was a failure. All right, well, this week I didn't make it, that was a failure. All right, well, this week I made it, so I guess things are great again. Okay, well, next week I didn't make it,
Starting point is 00:11:51 that was a failure, and the week after that was a failure, and then I'm just a failure, and this is not going right. So what we do is we only measure results, but we don't monitor results. This is a really fascinating switch from measuring to monitoring. So we measure how much weight we lost. And we say, oh wow, this week I lost, you know, four pounds this week I lost nothing this week I put on this much right. So we measure the result, but we don't monitor it. And I'll
Starting point is 00:12:23 explain to you the difference. Measuring is taking a measuring tape or a scale and writing down a number. That's literally what it is, right? It's measuring. You are just data collecting. You are just data recording. What is my height today? What is my height tomorrow?
Starting point is 00:12:42 What's my weight today? What's my weight tomorrow? What's my follow account today? What's my follow account? What's my weight today? What's my weight tomorrow? What's my follow account today? What's my follow account tomorrow? How much money did I save this week? How much money did I save next week? It's just a number. And you learn very little from that number.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I'll give an example. If I create a podcast and it gets a number of downloads versus another podcast, I can be upset when the next podcast is higher or lower. Or I can be curious, I can monitor, I can be observant. So whether your day or week goes well, or whether it is difficult and challenging, I want you to make time to say, why?
Starting point is 00:13:24 Why did it go well? Why did it go wrong? What happened? What did I do differently this week? When I think about weeks where things are going well and if you just take them at face value and think oh, I've got this now things are going well You get complacent and I know the phrase goes curiosity killed the cat I've always thought complacency killed the cat, right? It's complacency.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Well, hopefully no one killed any cat. But whether you're a dog or a cat person, we want animals to be safe. It's complacency. And complacency sets in when we measure. Actually, a lot of self sabotage checks in when we just measure. Because when we have a good week,
Starting point is 00:14:03 we don't know why and when we have a bad week, we don't know why and when we have a bad week, we don't know why and we just beat ourselves up about it. So I want you to really think about that, why did it go well? Monitor, don't measure, why did it go well? Why did it go badly? What specifically changed this week? And actually that might even make you have some
Starting point is 00:14:21 compassion for yourself. You may think, oh yeah, you know, that week my family came over and I took it easy a little bit or, you know, that week I launched a new product on social media. So I spent a bit more time on it. You start actually not drawing yourself excuses. You might start to judge yourself less. And that lets you go, okay, well, next week I can shift. Next week I can make a change.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Like I know, for example, on Christmas and New Year's week, I ate more sugar in a week than I ate earlier, and I know it, and I don't judge myself for it. I'm glad that I allowed myself to enjoy and really let go. And then this week I knew I wanted to be playing tennis. I've been playing tennis every day for two hours, working really, really hard to get fit and healthy again, cutting out sugars out of my life again, getting back to my healthy diet.
Starting point is 00:15:15 And I'm not judging myself for that week. I know why I wasn't focused on what I wanted to focus on and now I know why I am. And so I want you to monitor over measure. Measuring is what our apps do, measuring is what our Fitbit's do, measuring is what our aura rings do, and measurement is important. But only if you monitor the reason behind the measurement. It's not just good enough to measure the data.
Starting point is 00:15:42 You have to monitor the data. Now the third step, this is something that really blows my mind when I think about and talk about and this will be a game changer for you. There are four steps to making a change in your life. And I find that most of us are just about on step one. Most of the time we're on step one and we're trying to have the result of step four. So there are four steps to change. The first is theoretical. Theoretically understanding that this change is important,
Starting point is 00:16:24 it's needed and it is necessary. But your understanding and your knowledge level is theoretical. For example, the theoretical idea that we all believe that we should take care of the environment, the theoretical idea that we all have, that we should take care of our health. We all know we should. That's a theoretical understanding. We all know that it's better if we eat healthier, it's better if we exercise. These are theories. We understand it theoretically. Most of us are at this stage. When you try and use your willpower to achieve a result, but your level of change is only theoretical, It is so unlikely that you're going to get the result because theory does not change to
Starting point is 00:17:10 transformation. Theoretical understanding does not lead to transformation. Our twenties are seen as this golden decade. Our time to be carefree, full in love, make mistakes, and decide what we want from our life. But what can psychology really teach us about this decade? I'm Gemma Speg, the host of the Psychology of Your 20s. Each week we take a deep dive into a unique aspect of our 20s, from career anxiety, mental health, heartbreak, money, friendships, and much more to explore the science and the
Starting point is 00:17:46 psychology behind our experiences, incredible guests, fascinating topics, important science, and a bit of my own personal experience. Audrey, I honestly have no idea what's going on with my life. Join me as we explore what our twenties are really all about. From the good, the bad, and the ugly, and listen along as we uncover how everything is psychology, including our twenties. The psychology of your twenties hosted by me, Gemma Speg. Now streaming on the iHot Radio app, Apple podcasts, or whatever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I'm Dr. Romani, and I am back with season two of my podcast, Navigating Narcissism. Narcissists are everywhere and their toxic behavior and words can cause serious harm to your mental health. In our first season, we heard from Eileen Charlotte, who was loved bomb by the Tinder Swindler. The worst part is that he can only be guilty for stealing the money from me, but he cannot be guilty for the mental part he did. And that's even way worse than the money he took.
Starting point is 00:18:54 But I am here to help. As a licensed psychologist and survivor of narcissistic abuse myself, I know how to identify the narcissists in your life. Each week you will hear stories from survivors who have navigated through toxic relationships, gaslighting, love bombing, and the process of their healing from these relationships. Listen to navigating narcissism on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How's that New Year's resolution coming along? You know, the one you made about paying off
Starting point is 00:19:28 your pesky credit card debt and finally starting to save a retirement? Well, you're not alone if you haven't made progress yet, roughly four in five New Year's resolutions fail within the first month or two. But that doesn't have to be the case for you and your goals, our podcast, how to money can help. That's right, we're two best buds
Starting point is 00:19:44 who've been at it for more than five years now, and we want to see you achieve your money goals, and it's our goal to provide the information and encouragement you need to do it. We keep the show fresh by answering list our questions, interviewing experts, and focusing on the relevant financial news that you need to know about.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Our show is Chalk Full of the Personal Finance Knowledge that you need with guidance three times a week, and we talk about debt payoff. If let's say you've had a particularly spend thrift holiday season, we also talk about building up your savings, intelligent investing, and growing your income no matter where you are on your financial journey, how do monies got your back? Millions of listeners have trusted us to help them achieve their financial goals. Ensure that your resolution turns into ongoing progress.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Listen to how to money on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So ask yourself, are you at a theoretical level in the area you want to change? For example, if I say, oh yeah, theoretically, I've heard that meditation is a good idea. I know it's good for me. That's theory. So the next step is meaningful. We have to make it meaningful.
Starting point is 00:20:48 That's where that intention comes in going back to step one. How meaningful is this to me? I remember when my health really took a bad hit. I had polyps in my throat. They had to be lasered out. I was having really bad gut issues. I was having chronic fatigue, I was in bed for 14 hours if not more a day.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And that was when it became really meaningful to me. It's almost like everything switched from theory to meaningful. And it's frustrating that we often have to go through pain or real challenges or real stress and pressure to make that shift from theoretical to meaningful, but I also know that it's possible to do it without the pain. But the pain is often the trigger.
Starting point is 00:21:34 So when we go through problems or pain, chance is I'd so that we can switch from theoretical to meaningful. That's actually what your body is doing. It's like your body is giving you pain saying, I don't want to live like this anymore so that it becomes meaningful for you to apply that theory. Because before it was meaningful to you, you assumed it would be okay. Right? If you never had a health challenge, you would just theoretically know it's good to take care of your health, but you may not focus on it because it's not meaningful yet. So theoretical to meaningful. Now meaning
Starting point is 00:22:08 isn't enough either. I'll give you an example, maybe someone's lost a family member to cancer I like I have. And someone may theoretically understand the health reasons and implications. They may meaningfully, obviously, meaningfully pains you so much when you've lost someone, but you haven't made it practical for you. You haven't understood it practically. How does it practically work in your life? How does it practically flow in your day today? We have to turn our meaningful feeling
Starting point is 00:22:43 emotion-based understanding now. We had an intellectual knowledge-based understanding. We have now an emotional feeling understanding. We now have to turn it into something practical for us. And then finally applicable. We had you have to apply it once we know what's practical. And we have to see where that goes, of to keep actioning it. So the four stages of change are theoretical, meaningful, practical and applicable. Now I guarantee that what you're trying to change this year is in the theoretical and meaningful areas.
Starting point is 00:23:17 You haven't yet figured out the practical and the applicable areas of what you want to do. And that is where you want to put the energy. How do I practically apply this in my life? For example, going to the gym for me, now my plan, and when I'm back in LA, I'm in London at the moment with my family, but when I'm back in LA, my goal is to be doing probably three days of tennis and two days of the gym, two to three days of the gym.
Starting point is 00:23:42 And so that's how I'm practically committing and then I'll apply it and then I'll observe it and monitor it. But the key thing here is it can't, when it was just theoretical for me that I needed to take care of my health, I didn't do it. Then it became meaningful because of the pain.
Starting point is 00:24:00 But then it needed to become practical. I had to find what I enjoyed, what I got passion for, what I flourished in. This applies to all areas of your business and work too. This doesn't just apply to your body and your mind. This applies to anything you want to do. I hope you will apply this to all areas of your life. Now the fourth step is, this is game changer. Have you ever thought about what's the difference between efficiency and effectiveness?
Starting point is 00:24:31 What is the difference? Is there a difference between efficiency and effectiveness? So efficiency in the way I see it is the ability to do a lot of things. And effectiveness is doing important things. Think about that, right? It sounds like efficiency is like, oh, I'm really, really efficient. I get a lot done. I achieve a lot of stuff. I take a lot of boxes or I've been highly effective this week. What would you like to say at the end of this week? Would you prefer you are saying, I've had an efficient week or I've had an effective week. I'm sure each
Starting point is 00:25:10 and every one of us are drawn towards that word effective. I've had an efficient week sounds like I checked up stuff on my to-do list. I did my laundry, I got a lot done, I was efficient. But I was effective, says, oh, I'm at a dent this week. I made an impact this week. I moved the needle this week. The difference is between doing a lot of things and doing important things. I want you to focus on the latter in 2022.
Starting point is 00:25:41 We all have to do a lot of things, but are we making time to do the important things? Because often we make ourselves so busy with being efficient because we don't want to put the brain energy and brain power to be effective. So we'd rather clutter our day with lots of insignificant activities, then clear our day for one significant activity. Because we're scared of doing that. But when you realize that no longer do you want to clutter for something insignificant,
Starting point is 00:26:11 you want to clear for something significant, we want to shift from being efficient to being effective. And this is a mindset shift. This is the mindset shift that I'm taking into 2022. I've been saying to my team, I want to have an effective year, not an efficient year. I think there have been a couple of years in my life where I've been highly efficient, but I don't think I've been as effective and as impactful because I've just been busy. My schedule has been full.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I've been doing a lot of stuff, but I haven't been doing the stuff that makes the impact that moves the needle. Look around you and think about who the people that you've noticed that you think have made big leaps. Do you think have just pivoted their career and shifted and made huge strides? Who are those people? Maybe there's some things that I've done that you're looking and going, wow Jay, I never saw how you did a book and then you did, you have the podcast and you did the tea company and I'm sure you've got something else coming which I can't wait to share with you.
Starting point is 00:27:07 It's like that all came from an effectiveness mindset, not an efficiency mindset. Sometimes I'm highly inefficient. Sometimes I don't complete a lot of stuff. Sometimes there's stuff that's just left for days, but those are not the things that matter. They're not the important things. So do you want to do a lot of things or do you want to do important things? You want to look at each week and each month in that way.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Ask yourself, is this an efficiency week or is this an effectiveness week? And if you recognize the difference for yourself, right? If you recognize the awareness for yourself, that's going to make all the difference. Now the next step that I want to share with you is this balance between thinking and acting, like thinking and doing. And it's been debated for a long time whether we should think or do, and I think we've realized that action is an important part. We have to act and then reflect. But here's what I've realized.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Thinking is important, but do it less than you think. I feel like a lot of us struggle with procrastination and overthinking because we think, rethink and think again. We think we rethink and think again. And if I had to divide the way I like to work, I probably do about 70% action, 30% thinking. Now, there are times when I think my thinking went down to 10% and that didn't work either or went down to 5% and I was just doing, doing, doing and that wasn't great either. And there have been times when I've thought 70% and acted at 30% and that's unhealthy. So I want you to think about your ratio. What is your ratio of
Starting point is 00:28:49 thinking to doing? Is it 50, 50? Is it 70, 30? Either way, is it 80, 20? Is it 90, 10? Is it 60, 40? Where are you on that ratio? And I want you to start shifting into doing more than thinking more to get to doing 70% and thinking 30% and when you start shifting that, you might start to feel uncomfortable. You might start to feel scared. You might start to feel some anxiety of like, oh my gosh, I'm just doing so much stuff. I don't even know what I'm doing. And all I want you to do is try and get to that 70% of doing and 30% of thinking and that 30% of thinking going back to the monitoring point is the reflecting is the observing why did that work did it work what could I have done better you're focused on that you're not focused on all that didn't get me anywhere and that's again that results
Starting point is 00:29:41 mindset is just so deep that didn't get me me anywhere. Well, what was the point anyway? We didn't get there. Well, I didn't achieve anything anyway. Right? Like that language, that rhetoric is actually stopping us as opposed to, okay, what worked, what did, and what could I shift this time? So get that ratio between thinking and acting,
Starting point is 00:30:00 thinking and doing right for you, and you will see huge shifts and huge changes in your life. Now, the next step is something that I recently spoke about in the today's show and its growth versus goals. You can set goals all you want, but it's the growth that gets you to those goals, right? Growth versus goals every single time. What I mean by that is, when you set a goal, I want to do this. You have to ask yourself, what growth, what skill,
Starting point is 00:30:35 what aptitude, what mindset do I need in order to get that? What is it going to take me to learn? So for example, if I say this year, I want to share meditation with you all. I want to help you learn how to learn. So for example, if I say this year, I want to share meditation with you all. I want to help you learn how to meditate. Okay, what do I need to know? I need to know how to meditate. I need to know how much time everyone kind of has in their day. I think people have like five to ten minutes a day maximum, so like seven minutes. Okay, if they have seven minutes, how do I help them meditate in seven minutes? Right? So I need to think
Starting point is 00:31:02 about that. I don't just have to think about, okay, whatever one needs to meditate. So, okay, I just need to make sure people meditate. And then we just have this goal and we don't do anything to it. We have to build the growth path to the goal's potential. So if you're setting a goal, I want you to set the growth that you need to take in order to get there.
Starting point is 00:31:20 I want to end finally with one last point, which is how I define every year and I spoke about this last year as well is how I define every year and I spoke about this last year as well, but I think it's important to re-share it because it is how I set up my year. Every year I sit down and I call this the three elves of a phenomenal year. And I ask myself, what do I want to learn this year? What do I want to launch this year? And what do I want to learn this year? What do I want to launch this year? And what do I want to love this year?
Starting point is 00:31:48 These are three necessities for feeling like you're thriving as a human, for feeling like you're absolutely winning as a human. When you do the thing you love, it brings you joy, it brings you happiness. When you launch something, it brings you nerves, it brings you happiness. When you launch something it brings you nerves it brings you excitement. When you learn something it gives you the feeling of growth and improvement and the feeling like you're going somewhere. These are the experiences we need in life. We think that it's just about winning. Notice how winning isn't one of them because winning doesn't give you an essential feeling
Starting point is 00:32:25 that we need as a human. These are the feelings we need to experience. Love, we need to experience joy and happiness. We need to experience excitement and enthusiasm. We need to experience nerves and that kind of like butterflies feeling again. So I literally want you to write down, learn, launch, love. What are you learning this year?
Starting point is 00:32:43 What is it that you're committing to learning? What is it that you're getting coaching, classes, mentorship? You have to be learning something every year. It's crazy that we stop learning after graduating, if we're lucky, right? It really, really is insane that we stop learning after that time. What are you committing to learning this year? It could be an instrument, it could be a language, it could be learning to work out, it could be learning a new mindset, it could be joining our genius community
Starting point is 00:33:12 and learning about health and wellbeing, it could be joining my certification school and learning to become a life coach. If that's what been a goal of yours for a while, what is it that you're committing to learning this year? Second, what are you launching? What are you starting that's new? Are you launching a podcast? you starting that's new?
Starting point is 00:33:25 Are you launching a podcast? Are you launching a book? Are you launching a new community, a new book club in your area? Are you launching a company? Are you launching a business? Are you launching a YouTube channel? What are you launching this year?
