January 05, 202219. New Years Resolutions and Arrival Fallacies
In today’s episode our host, Michelle Kapler, talks about New Year’s resolutions and why they often fail.
She talks about why it's not enough to just do the thing. To actually create sustainable, long term habit change, we need to explore the deeper layers beyond just taking the action.
She uses examples of
weight loss
career advancement
and of course, quitting drinking
to illustrate why we must create a new space in our mind that we don’t want to escape from. Because just simply doing the thing won’t actually change how we feel on the inside. At least not sustainably.
