On today’s episode, Charlie clarifies why making resolutions practically guarantees failure. 

Listen as Charlie quotes a study by Roy Baumeister, a researcher at Florida State University. Roy tested student’s discipline muscle by tempting them with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and radishes- the results were fascinating. 

Charlie discusses how:

-If your brain would have known how to reach the goal, it would have done so already

-Creating a resolution forces you to rely heavily on your discipline muscle, but what happens when the discipline is used up?

-Setting a resolution forces you to shut down who you really are 

-Adopting the behaviors of who you want to be is like a ticking time bomb

So what are we supposed to do? Join us in the next episode to find out!
