This week, we discuss the importance of setting realistic and sustainable goals. If we can form positive, long-term habits rather than resorting to extreme, short-term “resolutions,” we can get more healthy every day. Reflecting on previous goals, David shares personal anecdotes and lessons learned. Why not take a gradual approach to fitness and nutrition that aligns with one's lifestyle and capabilities? The episode is a blend of practical advice and motivational insights aimed at fostering a healthier, more self-aware approach to personal growth and well-being.

Key Moments
“When people think about goals for the new year, they often initially think about things like diets and exercise, fitness, these sort of things. What I have seen, I've seen this multiple times. I have engaged in this myself and I can tell you it does not work.”

“We're looking to establish habits, habits that we can keep for a long period of time. Extreme diets are not a habit. They're sort of a short term occasion, and just a recipe for failure. We want to slightly modify what we're doing so that we can achieve it, so we can pat ourselves on the back and say “great job, reevaluate in three months.”

“So this is an achievable target and it's measurable, which is really key about this.”

Say hi to the AGEIST team!
