Episode 3434:
Vironika Tugaleva challenges the typical approach to New Year’s resolutions, highlighting the dangers of self-improvement when rooted in self-hatred rather than self-acceptance. By cultivating trust in your natural ability to care for yourself, growth can become a joyful journey of self-discovery rather than a punishing cycle of forced change and self-sabotage.

Quotes to ponder:
“Self-improvement without self-love is like building a house upon quicksand. You can build and build, but it will always sink.”
“If I trust that, in my natural state, I am already compelled to be healthy and good to myself, then I’ll accept myself as I am.”
“To change your impulses, you must re-arrange your environment to better meet your emotional needs.”
