On today’s episode, Charlie clarifies why making resolutions practically guarantees failure.

Listen as Charlie quotes a study by Roy Baumeister, a researcher at Florida State University. Roy tested student’s discipline muscle by tempting them with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and radishes- the results were fascinating.

Charlie discusses how:
-If your brain would have known how to reach the goal, it would have done so already
-Creating a resolution forces you to rely heavily on your discipline muscle, but what happens when the discipline is used up?
-Setting a resolution forces you to shut down who you really are
-Adopting the behaviors of who you want to be is like a ticking time bomb
