New Year's Resolutions: Do They Work? | #14

This week on "Eat, Live & Move with Miyagi”, our hosts, Dr. Gina Cleo and Dr. Ross Walker joined forces to discuss an important topic at this time of year - setting new year's resolutions. According to research, 92% of new year's resolutions fail come February, and Dr Gina explains why. Drawing on research, Dr Gina and Dr Ross advocate for a shift in mindset by concentrating on rituals rather than immediate results. The episode also explores the "Power of Three," explaining that our brains can simultaneously handle three habit changes, and practical ways you can successfully achieve habit change e.g. sharing goals with loved ones, using habit trackers, and viewing obstacles as opportunities for alternative actions. As our hosts address real-world health concerns and offer personalised solutions, the podcast exercises a powerful reminder of the five keys to optimal health —no addictions, good quality sleep, consuming a balanced diet, moving often, and, perhaps most crucially, happiness and stress management.   So, let the journey towards well-being begin—one habit at a time.
