Resolutions(?) (Episode 67)

Resolutions(?) (Episode 67)

Welcome to our first episode of 2022! This week’s episode is all about resolutions. The history of the New Year’s resolution goes back almost 4000 years to ancient Babylon. During that time the Babylonians wanted their crops to grow and flourish, so they made promises to the gods with the hopes that their crops would be bountiful over the year to come. But the concept of the resolution has shifted significantly over time. The external connection to the completion of a good deed has evaporated. Those of us who do still make resolutions are only making promises to ourselves, and it turns out that most of the time we aren't even keeping those; about 80% of people who set resolutions will break them by the first week of February.

Knowing all of this, Shaunna and Lisa are encouraging listeners to reframe our DEI resolutions this year to focus on community instead of ourselves. This is not easy, and can often feel overwhelming. But if we focus our efforts on one area of DEI and take small, measured steps this can help the process feel more manageable. Shaunna explains the concept of micro allyship behaviors, and how we can build in small actions every day to work toward learning new concepts, as well as unlearning old thoughts, habits and ideas. Listen in for a deeper dive.
