You're listening to Lifekit from NPR.
Hey, everybody, it's Marielle.
Before we jump into the episode, I want to share an exciting thing lifekit put together for New Year's.
We want you to start your new year off right.
So we've created a tool to help you clarify and work toward your goals, whatever those might be.
It's Lifekit's resolution planner.
You can choose areas of your life you'd like to focus on, and we'll guide you to some of Lifekits best episodes on those topics.
You can check them out@npr.org newyears.
First off, happy New Year.
And I want to say that I hope you're spending this day doing exactly what you want.
I know that's not always possible, but if I could manifest anything for you on New Year's Day, that would be it.
All right?
Second, it's time to talk about New Year's resolutions.
I had a conversation with Allison Aubrey recently.
She's a correspondent at NPR, and she's been covering health for about 20 years.
Every year there's always like, oh, is there something new to say about new year's resolutions?
And my thought was always like, yeah, there's the same thing to say about New Year's resolutions, which is like, most people set them, most people fail.
It's unfortunate but true.
We've got these big dreams on January 1, and then halfway through the month we've given up on them.
But this year on life kit, we want to help you take your goals off hold and actually make them happen.
