EP 135: The Gentle Reset: Why New Year’s Goals Fail (and Why Gentle Changes Work)

from Wake Up To Your Life · host Amanda Foust

We’re kicking off the new year by breaking free from the pressure and burnout that usually come with January goals. This is the first episode of a series called The Gentle Reset. If you’ve ever wondered why you start strong and the lose steam or why you avoid goals altogether because you’re tired of feeling disappointed, this episode will show you why that happens and what to do instead. You’ll learn how to work with your brain instead of against it, so change finally becomes doable and sustainable. Key Takeaways: You are not undisciplined or broken. Your brain simply wasn’t designed for a full-life overhaul in January. Gentle change is not only kinder, it’s more effective. This year can truly feel different when you honor your capacity and wiring.   Resources:  Goal-Setting Essentials FREE Goal-Achieving workshop Take the Quiz: "Which Area of Your Life Needs A Wake Up Call?"  Wake Up To Your Life Coaching  Highest Potential Planner  Follow along on the 'gram @wakeuptoyourlife_  Expectation vs. Reality Workbook
