Many of us practice the habit of making a new year’s resolution, often to change something, to achieve something, or build something. Our resolutions are pointed toward starting fresh and having a productive year ahead.
But some don’t get to fulfill this list. Some don’t get to make a significant change in their life because they often don’t develop the resolve to fulfill them. The goal is clear but the path to reach that goal is undefined and the intention to create that path isn’t set.
In this episode, Jay Shetty talks about the steps to help you start these significant changes right away and achieve results that are truly life-changing.

3:26 Jay Shetty? 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. My new book, Eight Rules of Love, is out, and I cannot wait to share it with you. I am so, so excited for you to read this book, for you to listen to this book.
4:11 Jay Shetty? I read the audiobook. If you haven't got it already, make sure you go to eightrulesoflove.com. It's dedicated to anyone who's trying to find, keep, or let go of love. So if you've got friends that are dating, broken up, or struggling with love, make sure you grab this book. And I'd love to invite you to come and see me for my global tour, Love Rules. Go to jayshettytour.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,
4:55 Jay Shetty? "Oh, not again, I'm gonna set a resolution, I'm gonna 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 as if I didn't make it, and as 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,
5:39 Jay Shetty? 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. But 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. 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 how manifestation actually works. Today, I want to talk to you about how results are actually created.
6:25 Jay Shetty? 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 different and I saw very different results in my life. I started creating content five years ago. That's how you probably discovered me, did through my videos, my podcast or my book. And as things have grown and as I've grown and 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.
7:08 Jay Shetty? 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 YouGov. And it said that around sixteen percent of people say they will make a New Year's resolution compared to eleven percent 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, thirty-two percent of those aged between eighteen and twenty-four, compared to ten percent of those aged fifty-five and over. Now, let's talk about what kind of New Year's resolutions people are making. For the third year in a row, health and fitness come top of the list of people's resolutions they plan on making,
7:53 Jay Shetty? 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 forty-one percent say they want to commit to improving their diet, forty percent 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 what I find fascinating. No matter what your New Year's resolution is,
8:32 Jay Shetty? 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? 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.
9:15 Jay Shetty? 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? 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 mindset, a results-led approach.
9:58 Jay Shetty? 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 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 you 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. Now, from a results point of view, you have missed your target, missed your goal.
10:42 Jay Shetty? 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 wellbeing." That intention is going to fuel you to get to that three times a week. But when you're result-focused, when you're result-led, as soon as you don't reach that result... You put pressure on 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 conversations with yourself.
11:25 Jay Shetty? 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 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?
12:09 Jay Shetty? Why is it important for you to spend time on social media less? Why is it important to cut down on drinking or smoking? 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. Make your intention really profound and powerful.
12:55 Jay Shetty? 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 made it, so I guess things are great again. Okay, well, next week I didn't make it, 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.
13:36 Jay Shetty? 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 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? What's my weight today? What's my weight tomorrow? What's my follower count today? What's my follower count tomorrow? How much money did I save this week?
14:20 Jay Shetty? How much money did I save next week? It's just a number. And you learn very little from that number. 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? Why did it go well? Why did it go wrong? What happened? What did I do differently this week?
15:03 Jay Shetty? When I think about weeks where things are going well, and if you just take them at face value and think, okay, 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. 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, 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?
15:48 Jay Shetty? What specifically changed this week? And actually, that might even make you have some 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. Like I know, for example, on Christmas and New Year's week, I ate more sugar in a week than I ate all year. And I know it. And I don't judge myself for it. I'm glad that I allowed myself to enjoy and, and really let go.
16:33 Jay Shetty? And then this week, I knew I wanted to be playing tennis. So I've been playing tennis every day for two hours, uh, working really, really hard to get fit and healthy again, cutting out sugars out of my life again, uh, getting back to my healthy diet. 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 Fitbits do. Measuring is what our Oura 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. You have to monitor the data. Now, the third step.
17:18 Jay Shetty? This is something that really blows my mind when I think about it and talk about it. 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, it's needed, and it is necessary. But your understanding and your knowledge level is theoretical.
18:02 Jay Shetty? 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 transformation. Theoretical understanding does not lead to transformation.

If you're talking about quality food, you can't forget Whole Foods Market, who've been holding themselves to the highest standards since they opened in 1980. That means you'll see thousands of organic products across their stores, from the produce department to the aisles. It also means you'll never see certain ingredients. They've banned artificial sweeteners and colours, high fructose corn syrup and more, so you can shop with peace of mind. Shop Whole Foods Market in-store or online. This episode is brought to you by State Farm.
20:16 Jay Shetty? We talk a lot about intentional decision-making, and that extends to the practical stuff too, like making sure your coverage actually works for your life. State Farm is there to meet you where you are, and they know how sweet it is to feel good about your decisions. Talk to a State Farm agent today to learn how you can choose to bundle and save with a personal price plan. Like a good neighbour, State Farm is there. Prices are based on rating plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability, amount of discounts and savings and eligibility vary by state. 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's a good idea. I know it's good for me." That's theory.
21:00 Jay Shetty? So the next step is meaningful. We have to make it meaningful. That's where the 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. And that was when it became really meaningful to me. It's almost like everything switched from theory to meaningful and it's, it's frustrating that we often have to go through pain
21:42 Jay Shetty? 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, so when we go through problems or pain... Chances are it's so that we can switch from theoretical to meaningful. That's actually what your body's 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.
22:25 Jay Shetty? Now, meaning isn't enough either. I'll give an example, maybe someone's lost a family member to cancer, like I have. And someone may theoretically understand the health reasons and implications. They may meaningfully, obviously, it 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 to day? We have to turn our meaningful feeling, emotion-based understanding now. We had an intellectual, knowledge-based understanding.
23:09 Jay Shetty? We have now an emotional feeling understanding. We now have to turn it into something practical for us. And then finally, applicable, we actually have to apply it once we know what's practical. And we have to see where that goes, have 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. 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 L A, I'm in London at the moment with my family, but
23:54 Jay Shetty? when I'm back in L A, my goal is to be doing probably three days at tennis and two days at the gym, two to three days at the gym. 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. But then it needed to become practical. I had to find what I enjoyed, what I got a passion for, what I flourished in. And 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. This, I hope you will apply this to all areas of your life.
24:39 Jay Shetty? Now, the fourth step is, actually, this is game changer. Have you ever thought about what's the difference between efficiency and effectiveness? 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 tick a lot of boxes. Or I've been highly effective this week. What would you like to say at the end of this week?
25:22 Jay Shetty? Would you prefer you were saying, I've had an efficient week? Or I've had an effective week? I'm sure each and every one of us are drawn towards that word effective. I've had an efficient week. Sounds like I checked off stuff on my to-do list. I did my laundry, got a lot done, I was efficient. But I was effective says, oh, I made 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. We all have to do a lot of things. But are we making time to do the important things?
26:05 Jay Shetty? 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 than 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, you want too 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.
26:50 Jay Shetty? But I don't think I've been as effective and as impactful because I've just been busy. My schedule has been full. 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 are 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, maybe there's some things that I've done that you're looking at 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. It's like that all came from an effectiveness mindset, not an efficiency mindset. Sometimes I'm highly inefficient.
27:35 Jay Shetty? 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. 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.
28:20 Jay Shetty? 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. 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 seventy percent action, thirty percent thinking. Now, there are times when I think my thinking went down to ten percent, and that didn't work either, or went down to five percent, and I was just doing, doing, doing, and that wasn't great either. And there have been times when I've thought seventy percent and acted thirty percent, and that's not healthy.
29:05 Jay Shetty? So I want you to think about your ratio. What is your ratio of thinking to doing? Is it fifty fifty? Is it seventy thirty? Either way, is it eighty twenty? Is it ninety ten? Is it sixty forty? Where are you on that ratio? And I want you to start shifting into doing more than thinking more to get to doing seventy percent and thinking thirty percent. 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 seventy percent of doing and thirty percent of thinking. And that thirty percent of thinking, going back to the monitoring point,
29:51 Jay Shetty? 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, oh, well, that didn't get me anywhere. And that's, again, that results mindset is just so deep. That didn't get 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, well, what worked, what didn't? What could I shift this time? So get that ratio between thinking and acting, 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 on the Today Show, and it's growth versus goals. You can set goals all you want.
30:36 Jay Shetty? 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? What aptitude? What mindset do I need in order to get there? 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 all 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 10 minutes a day maximum, so like seven minutes. Okay, if they have seven minutes, how do I help them meditate in seven minutes?
31:20 Jay Shetty? Right, like, so I need to think about that. I don't just have to think about, okay, well, everyone 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. 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, but I think it's important to reshare it because it is how I set up my year. Every year I sit down and I call this the three Ls of a phenomenal year. And I ask myself, what do I want to learn this year?
32:03 Jay Shetty? What do I want to launch this year? And what do I want to love this year? 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 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 that we need as a human. These are the feelings we need to experience.
32:47 Jay Shetty? Love, we need to experience joy and happiness. We need to feel, 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? 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.
33:30 Jay Shetty? It could be joining our genius community 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? 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? I want you to launch something this year to get the excitement, enthusiasm of pushing forward. And finally, what are you doing that you love? What are you doing that you deeply, deeply love? Thank you so much for listening.
34:14 Jay Shetty? Thank you so much for being here. And 2022 is going to be your year. Thank you.
34:31 Speaker 01 Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' healthcare to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor. Fight corruption, cut taxes and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC dot com.
