You're listening to the feel-good effect.

Okay, so a couple of years ago, after I taught a yoga class, one of my students came up to me,

and he told me, looking me right in the eye, I have a goal.

Now, this particular yoga class, it was the first of the year.

And his goal?

Well, it was to take a yoga class every single day for the entire year.

And can you guess what happened? Well, I'm going to tell you. Plus, I'm going to give you the

secret to radical consistency and two simple steps to reach your wellness goals. Are you ready? Let's

make it happen.

Welcome to the feel good effect. I'm your host, Robin Conley Downs, and I help people find time

and create space in their lives for what matters most by sharing simplified strategies for wellness.

This podcast is all about real talk, real wellness, and unpacking what it really means

going to tell you the secret to radical consistency and give you two simple steps to reach your wellness goals.

So that student I was telling you about, the one with the goal to take a yoga class every single

great intentions and he was incredibly motivated. He wanted to commit to something

to be consistent, but where he went wrong is with mindset and with routines. So this episode is for

all of us on how to set better goals and not just set them, but actually work toward them.
