Maya Schunker is a cognitive scientist by training and host of the podcast, A Slight Change of Plans. She says it's helpful at the outset to build in what's called emergency reserves. When you miss a day here and there, which will inevitably be the case because life works, right? You'll still feel that it's possible to achieve your longer term goal.
It's only March and we're already starting to veer off track with our resolutions for the year. Don't worry! 90% of people fail to reach their goals each year, which means there's got to be a better way. On this episode of How To!, a listener named Emily is feeling discouraged by her eating habits and lack of exercise. Maya, a behavioral scientist, helps Emily (and the rest of us!) form better habits so we can set ourselves up for success.
