There's one very simple important thing that almost everyone misunderstands about new habits, goals, and resolutions and keeping them.

In this episode, I'm going to teach you what really causes you to fall off the wagon and why discipline and will power are not the answer.

Now let's get to today's episode. Hello my philosopher friends, this is our first episode with our new book, our new name, how are we feeling? I am feeling good, I'm wearing my liar,

leer, liar, I think, earrings, I got my ancient Greek school vibe going, but I'm to be honest,

it also feels little weird, which I think is really relevant to this

podcast episode. You know, shifting your identity, a big change can feel a little strange,

even if it's something you want and something you've worked a long time on.

So that's part and parcel of setting and achieving new goals and that's something I'm living through right now.

So in December we talked a lot about resolutions and goals,

and then we took a little break to talk about my achieving of this goal,

but I promise to talk about what happens after you create your goal when you're actually trying to execute it.

So that's what we're going to be returning to today.

And this is part one of a three-part series about falling off the wagon and really how to get back on the wagon.

And so in this episode I'm going to talk about why we fall off the wagon.

In the second episode I'm going to talk about why falling off the wagon tends to snowball and kind of take down the whole endeavor.
