[12] This time of year may be filled with your friends trying weird diets, the gym being the most crowded you've ever seen it (even more than the summer), an optimistic you saying "ahh this will be my year" during the midst of crippling seasonal depression. Within weeks all of these things will slowly dissipate. Of course that is until the next new year. Why is there a sudden urge to become a better you January 1st and then the motivation rapidly declines after such an immense rush of motivation? In this episode, I discuss why new year's resolutions are over whelming. I introduce what healthy goal setting and realistic expectations look like. I also include how to maintain and improve your goals over a long period of time.
