5
00:00:36.850 –> 00:00:40.530
Nyk Danu Yoga: before I get into today’s topic. And this will be a brief one.

15
00:01:43.070 –> 00:01:58.380
Nyk Danu Yoga: And I would be super thankful for that. Okay. the other thing to mention is that if you are a Yoga teacher and you are looking to train in Yen Yoga, whether that’s the first time, or whether you are looking to expand on your Yen Yoga teaching.

17
00:02:16.020 –> 00:02:38.840

19
00:02:49.170 –> 00:02:52.339

25
00:03:41.960 –> 00:03:45.649
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay, that’s enough of the housekeeping stuff.

26
00:03:46.920 –> 00:03:56.120
Nyk Danu Yoga: So I was inspired to do this episode. and this one is not going to be super evergreen.

27
00:03:56.180 –> 00:04:07.859
Nyk Danu Yoga: So at the time of this recording, when you’re getting this, this will be in December of 2023. If you’re listening to this later, this will still apply. But the date for Chinese New Year might be different. Okay, so

28
00:04:08.760 –> 00:04:15.239
Nyk Danu Yoga: I’m going to call this episode something like why you shouldn’t create New Year’s resolutions.

29
00:04:16.890 –> 00:04:20.089
Nyk Danu Yoga: So let me get into that. So

30
00:04:20.620 –> 00:04:33.999
Nyk Danu Yoga: in Western culture, because we’re on a solar calendar. For some reason, there’s all this pressure on the calendar, The New Year of the 30, first to the first to have all these New Year’s resolutions and to change our whole life.

31
00:04:34.030 –> 00:04:37.870
Nyk Danu Yoga: And there’s so much pressure on that. And 99% of them fail.

32
00:04:39.070 –> 00:04:45.129
Nyk Danu Yoga: So there are a few reasons why they fail. Number one. You haven’t cleared space.

33
00:04:45.960 –> 00:04:51.750
Nyk Danu Yoga: You’ve added new habits, but you haven’t removed things that aren’t serving you

34
00:04:51.860 –> 00:04:56.570
Nyk Danu Yoga: so that you have the space to do new things. So that’s one reason.

35
00:04:57.170 –> 00:05:02.380
Nyk Danu Yoga: Another reason that these fail is because

36
00:05:04.290 –> 00:05:07.399
Nyk Danu Yoga: you’re picking unrealistic goals.

37
00:05:07.770 –> 00:05:14.410
Nyk Danu Yoga: and you don’t realize how long it takes to create a habit. Now there’s not. I’m not going to go into sort of

38
00:05:14.570 –> 00:05:24.399
Nyk Danu Yoga: brain science and habits and stuff like that in this, but just know that it takes time to build habits. and that they need to be built slowly.

39
00:05:24.960 –> 00:05:38.049
Nyk Danu Yoga: So expecting your whole life to change on a certain date in the winter, just because you feel the pressure to come up with these New Year’s resolutions and to change everything about your life that isn’t working.

40
00:05:38.500 –> 00:05:50.569
Nyk Danu Yoga: This is why we have such a low success rate with resolutions in general. So that’s what I’m really why I’m going to dive into this, though I’m not really here today to talk about

41
00:05:50.630 –> 00:05:53.900
Nyk Danu Yoga: why, we’re not successful.

42
00:05:54.670 –> 00:05:59.519
Nyk Danu Yoga: What I want to talk about is why maybe you shouldn’t do New Year’s resolutions.

43
00:06:00.580 –> 00:06:06.050
Nyk Danu Yoga: So I’ll come at this from a few angles, and the final one will be from a Traditional Chinese medicine lens.

44
00:06:06.850 –> 00:06:25.930
Nyk Danu Yoga: So one reason that we shouldn’t do New Year’s resolutions again, is because we have not cleared the space in our life to bring in new habits. We haven’t created these habits slowly in a bite size amounts so that we can be successful with them.

45
00:06:26.850 –> 00:06:37.829
Nyk Danu Yoga: and we can stick to them. And then they just become part of how we live our lives. The other problem is, that people pick too many things, thinking that they are going to change a whole bunch of things that they have on a list

46
00:06:37.880 –> 00:06:39.079
Nyk Danu Yoga: in your life

47
00:06:39.090 –> 00:06:45.910
Nyk Danu Yoga: is unrealistic, puts way too much pressure on you, and then you just end up feeling shitty when you don’t actually manage to do it.

48
00:06:46.730 –> 00:06:56.969
Nyk Danu Yoga: So I am not a fan of New Year’s resolutions period the end full. Stop! Why. I think it’s far more effective

49
00:06:57.050 –> 00:07:08.139
Nyk Danu Yoga: to resolve to make a change in your life when you notice that it is an issue. not waiting until your birthday or New Year’s, or some specific date.

50
00:07:08.780 –> 00:07:10.729
Nyk Danu Yoga: Here’s an example for myself.

51
00:07:11.620 –> 00:07:19.479
Nyk Danu Yoga: I’m not very good at drinking water. I’ll be honest. I don’t like water. I’m really good at drinking it. If it’s carbonated, I’m good at drinking it

52
00:07:19.530 –> 00:07:26.050
Nyk Danu Yoga: better at drinking it if I put a little lemon and a little ginger in it, but plain straight-up water. It’s awful for me.

53
00:07:26.060 –> 00:07:38.339
Nyk Danu Yoga: I never wanna do it. It’s not a habit. I don’t crave it. I just. It just isn’t part of my life. It’s not something I feel drawn to. And so if I’m going to create the habit of drinking more water.

54
00:07:39.280 –> 00:07:45.509
Nyk Danu Yoga: I’m really going to have to be smart about how I create that habit so that I can actually be successful with it.

55
00:07:46.190 –> 00:07:53.409
Nyk Danu Yoga: So, for example, I might find ways in my case to make water more appealing, so that I actually want to drink it.

56
00:07:53.600 –> 00:07:57.060
Nyk Danu Yoga: Thus the carbonation. Thus the lemon and ginger.

57
00:07:57.900 –> 00:07:58.890
Nyk Danu Yoga: I might

58
00:07:59.360 –> 00:08:10.389
Nyk Danu Yoga: put little reminders in my home to remind me to do my water in the morning. So, for example, on my mirror in my bathroom, I wrote in dry, erase marker H20.

59
00:08:10.420 –> 00:08:19.200
Nyk Danu Yoga: Because what’s the first thing I do when I get up in the morning I go into the bathroom, and I go pee, and then when I stand up at the sink. there’s the mirror saying, Don’t forget water.

60
00:08:19.670 –> 00:08:29.949
Nyk Danu Yoga: Get your water, get your water brew ready in your big huge jars so that you can sip it throughout the day. So you have to make these habits

61
00:08:30.220 –> 00:08:39.940
Nyk Danu Yoga: doable small byte size. You have to make them easy for you, and you have to have reminders in order to be successful in creating new habits.

62
00:08:42.330 –> 00:09:07.399
Nyk Danu Yoga: So one of the reasons that I don’t think anyone should make New Year’s resolutions is because, if you need to resolve to change something in your life, you should resolve to change it when you notice that you need to change it, not wait for New Year’s, and then pile a bunch of resolutions on and feel bad about yourself if you don’t do them all because they were either unrealistic or there were too many of them. But you didn’t create these little bite-sized ways to kind of get that habit into your life.

63
00:09:07.980 –> 00:09:16.540
Nyk Danu Yoga: So that’s one reason why I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions. The other reason is, that this comes from a Chinese medicine perspective.

64
00:09:17.190 –> 00:09:25.520
Nyk Danu Yoga: If you’re not familiar. The concept of Yin and Yang are Chinese concepts, they are connected to Taoism.

65
00:09:26.210 –> 00:09:37.670
Nyk Danu Yoga: So within that lens of Tcm. And Taoism. The seasons themselves all have a certain degree of Yin or Yang nature. To them. So, for example.

66
00:09:38.650 –> 00:09:42.750
Nyk Danu Yoga: spring is more young than winter.

67
00:09:43.540 –> 00:09:49.630
Nyk Danu Yoga: Summer is more young than spring. Fall is more yin-like than summer.

68
00:09:49.970 –> 00:09:53.390
Nyk Danu Yoga: and then winter is the yinnest of the yin.

69
00:09:54.490 –> 00:09:57.420
Nyk Danu Yoga: So in a yin time of year.

70
00:09:59.080 –> 00:10:02.680
Nyk Danu Yoga: The element of winter is water.

71
00:10:03.410 –> 00:10:10.399
Nyk Danu Yoga: and this time of year is meant to be a time of year. Where you go inward.

72
00:10:10.750 –> 00:10:25.390
Nyk Danu Yoga: where you slowed out. where you cozy up and where you go inside. So it’s meant to be more reflective. You’re meant to be more introverted.

73
00:10:25.810 –> 00:10:33.309
Nyk Danu Yoga: meant to sleep more to coze up more and to be more reflective.

74
00:10:34.030 –> 00:10:38.920
Nyk Danu Yoga: And so winter is the perfect time to get out. Journals

75
00:10:39.970 –> 00:10:41.390
Nyk Danu Yoga: read books.

76
00:10:41.670 –> 00:10:47.680
Nyk Danu Yoga: you know, drink tea, stay warm sleep, more, rest, more.

77
00:10:47.730 –> 00:10:50.719
Nyk Danu Yoga: go inward, and actually notice.

78
00:10:50.810 –> 00:10:59.620
Nyk Danu Yoga: as you go inward. start daydreaming and checking in with your soul.

79
00:11:00.330 –> 00:11:05.180
Nyk Danu Yoga: So when we’re in the winter season we want to be wintering.

80
00:11:06.290 –> 00:11:08.720
Nyk Danu Yoga: and New Year’s.

81
00:11:11.660 –> 00:11:21.870
Nyk Danu Yoga: as on the Western calendar is still very much winter. January first is winter time. so it is not the time to be

82
00:11:21.950 –> 00:11:28.860
Nyk Danu Yoga: doing spring-type energy things like planning, envisioning and goal setting.

83
00:11:28.890 –> 00:11:30.499
Nyk Danu Yoga: That’s for springtime.

84
00:11:31.110 –> 00:11:36.409
Nyk Danu Yoga: So in traditional Chinese medicine and Taoism, springtime is the time when we

85
00:11:36.670 –> 00:11:47.029
Nyk Danu Yoga: have this burst of energy, where we can envision. And we can create new things. And we can plant seeds, and we can get really active and start setting goals, and we can hustle a little bit more

86
00:11:47.070 –> 00:11:50.020
Nyk Danu Yoga: right. That is the energy of spring.

87
00:11:50.040 –> 00:11:51.629
Nyk Danu Yoga: Even if you look at nature

88
00:11:52.010 –> 00:11:54.570
Nyk Danu Yoga: in the winter things rest.

89
00:11:55.280 –> 00:12:04.779
Nyk Danu Yoga: they get quiet. Look at the animals. lots of them hibernate right? So winter is supposed to be a time of less activity.

90
00:12:04.850 –> 00:12:07.760
Nyk Danu Yoga: going inward, reflecting

91
00:12:07.940 –> 00:12:18.940
Nyk Danu Yoga: soul, searching soulfulness and rest. And since January 1, for those of us in the northern hemisphere is still very much winter.

92
00:12:19.820 –> 00:12:27.530
Nyk Danu Yoga: That is not the time to be creating new habits. to be pushing and striving and efforting and hustling.

93
00:12:28.310 –> 00:12:33.989
Nyk Danu Yoga: to be more physically active. not saying you can’t be active in winter, but there’s a softness to it.

94
00:12:35.310 –> 00:12:37.450
Nyk Danu Yoga: That time of year is springtime.

95
00:12:38.950 –> 00:12:44.719
Nyk Danu Yoga: So if you are looking at the current calendar for 2024

96
00:12:45.300 –> 00:12:52.470
Nyk Danu Yoga: Chinese New Year is actually Saturday, February 10, 2024, so

97
00:12:52.650 –> 00:12:57.589
Nyk Danu Yoga: it would do us a good to winter all the way up

98
00:12:58.000 –> 00:12:59.210
Nyk Danu Yoga: to February.

99
00:13:00.340 –> 00:13:10.420
Nyk Danu Yoga: and then in at February tenth. is when you can, just in a very gentle way start to maybe start to envision

100
00:13:10.600 –> 00:13:16.959
Nyk Danu Yoga: start to plant some ideas for goals and things that you want to work on in the spring.

101
00:13:18.440 –> 00:13:21.300
Nyk Danu Yoga: So winter is about rest

102
00:13:21.610 –> 00:13:31.380
Nyk Danu Yoga: when we hit February 10. That’s the Chinese lunar calendar, and that’s their New Year. Now we might start to pull out our journals and be like, okay

103
00:13:31.920 –> 00:13:45.719
Nyk Danu Yoga: in the fall. I’ve let go. You may have missed the fall. That’s OK. You can do it next time. Let go. Of all the things that don’t serve me. I’ve released things. I’ve let go of things in the winter I get soulful. I go inward.

104
00:13:46.360 –> 00:13:58.690
Nyk Danu Yoga: I journal, I ask myself soulful questions. I figure out what it is that I want from my life and what it is that I want from the next year. What didn’t work from last year? All of that is soulful.

105
00:13:58.790 –> 00:14:10.720
Nyk Danu Yoga: excavating and unearthing happen in the wintertime and resting. and then in the spring, we go hard with the goals. so

106
00:14:11.390 –> 00:14:13.270
Nyk Danu Yoga: as of February 10.

107
00:14:13.340 –> 00:14:19.619
Nyk Danu Yoga: That could be the time when you now start taking just your sort of journaling and your

108
00:14:19.690 –> 00:14:29.340
Nyk Danu Yoga: you know, sole prompts. And you actually turn them into, okay, what do I want to create for 2024? What do I want to do in my business?

109
00:14:29.510 –> 00:14:42.279
Nyk Danu Yoga: in my life, in my hobbies, with my family, with connections. What do I want to create? What seeds do I want to plant? What do I want to envision?

110
00:14:42.420 –> 00:14:57.749
Nyk Danu Yoga: Maybe this is a good time. If you do vision boarding to slowly, not necessarily dive right into the vision board, we can still wait a little bit more for maybe March for that. But maybe you start kind of collecting images if you vision board things like that right?

111
00:14:58.030 –> 00:15:07.429
Nyk Danu Yoga: So February tenth. starting slowly, slowly to be like, Okay, what do I want? What seeds do I want to plant in the spring?

112
00:15:08.500 –> 00:15:15.289
Nyk Danu Yoga: So we don’t plant the seeds in the winter, I mean, I know there are those of you who are gardening experts who are going to argue with me, but, generally speaking.

113
00:15:15.440 –> 00:15:20.270
Nyk Danu Yoga: winter is the rest time. And then in the spring, we’re going to plant the seeds.

114
00:15:20.620 –> 00:15:32.090
Nyk Danu Yoga: That’s when our growth takes off. That’s when we really can start to work towards our goals and our visions, and our passions and our habits. That’s the time to create new habits.

115
00:15:32.800 –> 00:15:39.390
Nyk Danu Yoga: So I would still recommend that you create habits slowly in bite-sized doses so that you don’t get overwhelmed.

116
00:15:39.580 –> 00:15:48.939
Nyk Danu Yoga: and if in the fall you didn’t clear some space cause, let’s face it. Most of us have a busy calendar, so if in the fall you didn’t clear out, you didn’t let go

117
00:15:49.100 –> 00:15:57.399
Nyk Danu Yoga: of things that aren’t serving. You let things go. Then in the spring. You won’t have the space, so you may have to take a few minutes to let go.

118
00:15:58.870 –> 00:16:02.080
Nyk Danu Yoga: You take all of the gold that you’ve gleamed

119
00:16:02.170 –> 00:16:09.729
Nyk Danu Yoga: from your journaling, from your time, from your rest in the winter, from your soul, excavations from your

120
00:16:09.900 –> 00:16:13.129
Nyk Danu Yoga: heartfelt intentions, then writing things down, and

121
00:16:13.390 –> 00:16:18.099
Nyk Danu Yoga: all of that. And then in the spring, you start to plant those seeds.

122
00:16:19.300 –> 00:16:20.170
Nyk Danu Yoga: So

123
00:16:20.760 –> 00:16:26.440
Nyk Danu Yoga: as human beings, we no longer work in cycles with nature because we have electricity.

124
00:16:26.710 –> 00:16:29.480
Nyk Danu Yoga: and so we just keep

125
00:16:29.530 –> 00:16:31.979
Nyk Danu Yoga: going all year all the time.

126
00:16:32.450 –> 00:16:41.530
Nyk Danu Yoga: And this is part of the reason why, culturally, we’re so sick. We need time to go inward to rest and

127
00:16:43.290 –> 00:16:47.239
Nyk Danu Yoga: to take these same cycles as nature. So whenever you’re confused about

128
00:16:47.380 –> 00:16:58.439
Nyk Danu Yoga: what should I be doing right now? You know, with my life, with my energy. What is nature doing? And I realize those of you who aren’t in the Northern Hemisphere are listening to this when you’re in the exact opposite season.

129
00:16:58.460 –> 00:17:02.840
Nyk Danu Yoga: so you can save this. You can bookmark it, for when you are in wintertime.

130
00:17:03.230 –> 00:17:05.380
Nyk Danu Yoga: and then you can do your wintering.

131
00:17:06.940 –> 00:17:14.670
Nyk Danu Yoga: But I just wanted to talk a little bit about this today, because I think that there’s so much pressure on us to

132
00:17:15.420 –> 00:17:19.010
Nyk Danu Yoga: create all of these unrealistic goals

133
00:17:21.380 –> 00:17:27.790
Nyk Danu Yoga: around New Year’s and to change our whole life, and to be the best person that we can be. And all of these things.

134
00:17:29.080 –> 00:17:33.760
Nyk Danu Yoga: So first of all. look at the energy of why you want to create these changes.

135
00:17:34.470 –> 00:17:38.210
Nyk Danu Yoga: Be realistic about it. Make your habit slow and bite-size.

136
00:17:38.480 –> 00:17:43.469
Nyk Danu Yoga: and maybe January first isn’t the time to do them. because in January.

137
00:17:43.750 –> 00:17:46.950
Nyk Danu Yoga: for those in the northern hemisphere we are wintering.

138
00:17:47.380 –> 00:17:50.870
Nyk Danu Yoga: We should be resting. soul, searching.

139
00:17:51.020 –> 00:17:59.519
Nyk Danu Yoga: nurturing ourselves, going inward. It’s a great time to deep dive into things like, what do I want? What doesn’t serve me?

140
00:17:59.980 –> 00:18:01.709
Nyk Danu Yoga: What nourishes me?

141
00:18:01.900 –> 00:18:08.030
Nyk Danu Yoga: Things like that. You can even plan what changes you want to make. But you don’t start making them in the winter.

142
00:18:08.050 –> 00:18:16.419
Nyk Danu Yoga: That’s the time to just excavate and nurture. So I’m going to share this one reading with you before we close out here.

143
00:18:17.080 –> 00:18:25.480
Nyk Danu Yoga: and this is by a poem. It’s by Donna Ashworth, who is if you’re a Yoga teacher. Her poems are lovely for classes.

144
00:18:26.360 –> 00:18:28.990
Nyk Danu Yoga: and I will link to her website in the show notes.

145
00:18:30.020 –> 00:18:43.429
Nyk Danu Yoga: So what if you just didn’t do your New Year’s resolutions? And you just use that time instead in the winter to winter. so that in the spring you have your lists of things you want to do, and then you’re ready

146
00:18:43.980 –> 00:18:51.069
Nyk Danu Yoga: to envision, to start planting seeds to create. There’s that movement up that growth energy that happens in the spring.

147
00:18:52.090 –> 00:18:53.950
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay, here’s the reading.

148
00:18:56.020 –> 00:18:58.520
Nyk Danu Yoga: It’s called Wintering by Donna Ashworth.

149
00:18:59.040 –> 00:19:05.109
Nyk Danu Yoga: You may think yourself lazy. flawed. yet your body is made

150
00:19:06.160 –> 00:19:18.000
Nyk Danu Yoga: of almost exactly the same elements as the stars. Your bone composition matches the coral reefs in the seas. and you, my friend, are ruled by the moon and the sun.

151
00:19:19.230 –> 00:19:20.850
Nyk Danu Yoga: whether you like it or not.

152
00:19:21.530 –> 00:19:23.850
Nyk Danu Yoga: So no, you are not lazy.

153
00:19:24.460 –> 00:19:27.500
Nyk Danu Yoga: Nature is simply pulling you to slow

154
00:19:28.920 –> 00:19:32.650
Nyk Danu Yoga: like the life. the flowers, and the fauna around you.

155
00:19:33.820 –> 00:19:39.640
Nyk Danu Yoga: It is not your moment to rise. it is winter. you are wintering.

156
00:19:41.600 –> 00:19:43.130
Nyk Danu Yoga: and you are right on time.

157
00:19:46.720 –> 00:19:49.460
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay, friends. just a short

158
00:19:49.520 –> 00:19:52.739
Nyk Danu Yoga: little snippet, for in between, on the break

159
00:19:53.590 –> 00:20:04.010
Nyk Danu Yoga: I will be coming back with new episodes in January. and I look forward to connecting with you then and again if you haven’t had a chance to rate

160
00:20:04.620 –> 00:20:16.229

161
00:20:16.390 –> 00:20:21.359

164
00:20:40.050 –> 00:20:42.810
Nyk Danu Yoga: Okay, friends, please take a break.

165
00:20:43.130 –> 00:20:46.879
Nyk Danu Yoga: Allow yourself to winter. and I will talk to you soon.

166
00:20:48.630 –> 00:20:49.639
Nyk Danu Yoga: bye, for now.
