Summary

Have you noticed the Anti Resolution Revolution? I’m a big fan. Huge. Quite frankly, resolutions suck. They are too big. They are too vague. They are not “bite sized” enough. They are framed as punishments. They are designed to make us fail. Every year…. If you really want to improve your life you have to look at tiny habits. You have to implement small changes that build confidence and improve motivation. You need to be excited and positive about the potential and possibility that lie ahead of you. In this episode, I share: Why resolutions suck Why your brain literally cannot handle your resolution Why habits are better than resolutions and how they are totally different in nature What 3 steps you must take to make a new habit successful Tips to start a new habit, whether you want to eat better, lose weight, be less stressed, manage time better, or just generally love your life more Links Mentioned: Article: The Science of New Years Resolutions: Why 88% Fail and How To Make Them Work SMA Ep 82: The Power of Recency and Frequency Learn more about your ad choices.
