The Predictable Death of January Motivation

from Tej Talks

It's late January. Your gym routine is slipping. That morning meditation feels like a chore. Your new diet is... negotiable. You're not failing, you're right on schedule. This week, we break down the psychology behind why January motivation has a four-week expiration date, what happens when novelty wears off and reality kicks back in, and the one shift that separates people who actually change from people who just restart every January. If you're in the slump right now, this episode is your roadmap out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
