Welcome to Therapis Unsensored, a podcast where therapists freely speak their minds about real life matter. biology of motivation and dropping the ball that happens right after we're motivated.

I think it was a good discussion.

I certainly learned some things about both why that there's times when I'm into you know more discipline and

better self-care and other times where I just drop out and what I can do about that.

So I hope you enjoy it as well. You'll be hearing Ann Kelly, Patty

Allwell, and myself Sue Marriott. Thanks for listening. We are very excited to bring another

perspective as we try to do and this is about you know ever tried to kind of have a new start and then that new start kind of

butters out. Are you talking about the diet I start every Monday after a weekend of self-indulgence?

Or I think about, you know, my kids will say like, I use too much screen time. I really want to cut back on my screen time and then I come home the

chairs and then right in front of the TV and they're like killing people on their game

you know and they're saying I'm gonna start to start, I'm going to start tomorrow.

That's right. Right, well I'll quit tomorrow and they're a great book about that.

Yes. So this notion of there's this high motivation to do something new and to have a transformation,

whether it be social media and screen time or health or fitness or losing weight

or whatever the habit is.

Anne's going to talk to us and lead a discussion about habits.

When you're talking about the fresh start, that's a really fun place to start.

And it is actually, believe believe or not, completely coincidental

with doing this after the first of the year, but perfect timing.

Yeah, it is a great time.

Because by now, by the time this airs, everybody will have already

started their fresh start and have failed.
