This New Year: Stop Setting Goals Your Brain Is Wired to Sabotage

It's New Year’s Eve is tomorrow - and this is the episode most people should listen to before setting a single goal.In this solo episode of RAW CHATTER I breaks down why New Year’s resolutions fail year after year - and why it has nothing to do with motivation, discipline, or “not wanting it badly enough.”This is about how your brain actually works.I explains why too many goals overwhelm the nervous system, how self-worth and safety drive behaviour, and why people sabotage the very changes they say they want - especially around food, alcohol, work, and over-giving.In this episode, you’ll learn:🎯 Why reflection (not resolution-setting) creates real change🎯 How the brain rejects goals that feel unsafe or overwhelming🎯 The Rule of Three - and why clarity creates speed🎯 Why deservingness and capability decide whether you follow through🎯 How fear drives both self-sabotage and success🎯 A simple way to reflect on 2025 and set intentions for 2026 that actually stick.This episode is for you if you’re tired of repeating the same promises to yourself - and ready to work with your brain, not against it.🎁 December Offer: £500 off my VIP Day and 30-Day Accelerator (details in the episode).Wishing you a different and fullfulling 2026.
