What are you leaving behind in 2024?

How do you plan to make more space for growth in 2025?

Today, Jay  reflects on the art of letting go to make space for personal growth in 2025. He shares a transformative framework for self-improvement by identifying ten habits, beliefs, and mindsets to leave behind. Using the Buddha’s analogy of a raft, he emphasizes the importance of releasing old tools that no longer serve us to navigate life’s new challenges more freely.

Jay taps into impactful topics, from overcoming the fear of mistakes to releasing self-consciousness and rethinking the cultural glorification of busyness. He encourages listeners to embrace risk, foster self-compassion, and reframe their relationship with time and perfectionism. Thought-provoking anecdotes, like the role of light and dark in optimizing sleep and the illusion of justice as a universal principle, provide actionable insights for creating a balanced and intentional life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to Let Go of Fear and Embrace Mistakes

How to Balance Self-Criticism and Self-Compassion

How to Stop Waiting for the Perfect Time

How to Make Space for New Habits and Growth

How to Find Silence in a Noisy World

As we prepare to step into a new year, remember that growth doesn’t come from adding more to your plate – it comes from letting go of what no longer serves you. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
