89: The Anti-Resolution Revolution

Have you noticed the Anti Resolution Revolution? I’m a big fan. Huge.

Quite frankly, resolutions suck. They are too big. They are too vague. They are not “bite sized” enough. They are framed as punishments. They are designed to make us fail. Every year….

If you really want to improve your life you have to look at tiny habits. You have to implement small changes that build confidence and improve motivation. You need to be excited and positive about the potential and possibility that lie ahead of you.

In this episode, I share:

Why resolutions suck
Why your brain literally cannot handle your resolution
Why habits are better than resolutions and how they are totally different in nature
What 3 steps you must take to make a new habit successful
Tips to start a new habit, whether you want to eat better, lose weight, be less stressed, manage time better, or just generally love your life more
